polka & pink
blouse & boots - topshop, bag - asos, skirt - UO
so, it was my birthday on friday and to celebrate i decided to go shopping. my first stop was, as always, topshop. the sale was on so i was super excited and didn't know where to look first, so i wandered over to the shoe section. there, staring at me was these perfect perfect boots. black and wonderful, go-with-everything boots. but oh! no! they were a size 6 and i am very much a 7. but, out of sheer determination to own them i tried them on anyways and.. they fit! it was a birthday miracle. the best part... they were only £20!
anyway, enough of my shoe story, and onto the outfit. this skirt verges very much on being grannyish, so i decided to toughen it up with aforementioned boots and my old favourite hat and some polka dots.

Ooooh thats amazing! Those boots are thirty five in my Topshop.. And I tried on a 7 and they're ridiculously long and make you're feet look big so you got lucky with a 6 :)

I dont think the skirt verges on grannyish at all. Love this look and those boots are crazy cute, what a deal!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I hope you had an awesome day (: It was mine last week and I snapped up an NW3 dress for £7 in a charity shop - the shopping gods and birthday gods must chat! those boots are perfect anyway, love the zip..
