Five things I want from Topshop RIGHT NOW

As a student I am plagued by that wretched feeling that you can never afford what you want. Never mind that I can only just cover what I need to survive in a week, I am more obsessed with the fact I can’t afford new clothes. Topshop in particular at the moment is taunting me with its amazing stock and I’m a cat’s whisker away from blowing my loan (thats loan, not load) on these beauties. 

Topshop Utility Trousers in Stone - £38

I am IN LOVE with the idea of combats coming back into fashion. They remind me of when I was a little girl dashing around in my baggy combat trousers (with long cotton tassles on, if I remember rightly..?)  looking WELL COOL and loving life as a mini fashionista. They’re making their reappearance in a skinny-leg manner however, and I’m visualising these babies with my brand new Office shoes – tan leather, wooden heel… a match made in fashion heaven. I’ve seen snaps of Cheryl Cole wearing similar utility trousers with a plain back tee, and I’m loving the pairing. These would look great with a simple top and I can see perfect summer outfits with these, a plain white strap top and some black or tan flippy floppys. (AKA Flip Flops.) 

Also scoring in the trouser department (see what I did there) is these pretty-in-pink cotton three quarter lengths. These caught my eye when I was mooching around in a Topshop store the other day, but, alas, I had no time to try them on. 

Panelled Sports Joggers in Rose - £22

For the best, maybe, as I may have bought them in every colour. These are another pair I can see looking fab with some plain tees or strappys, and some pumps or flip flops. Another chilled out summer look… 

Speaking of summer, I adore the new shape thats proving to be all the rage this year for sunglasses. The butterfly shape is a charming twist on the oversized shades look and these ones from Topshop are available for a reasonable price. I’ll take seven pairs. (I have a habit of breaking sunglasses.) 

Butterfly Ombre Sunglasses - £15

This year I’m really keen to try the baggy fisherman type pants that began to creep on to the streets last summer. I may seem a year behind, but I simply didn’t have the courage to wear something last year that looked as if it would make my bum appear to drag along the ground. I have since had my mind changed by witnessing them look amazing on others, and I’m up for giving them a try. These will be my first pick of the bunch and we’ll see how it goes… I can already see them paired with the butterfly glasses. 

Cotton Trousers by Boutique - £45

Finally, on a more glam note, this chic black tunic has got me dribbling. I LOVE tunics, they look great with heels or flats, night or day wear and they even make you feel good on one of those dreaded fat days. There is nothing worse than stepping out of the house knowing the first thing people will notice is the bulge of your bloated tummy. Tunics flatter the figure and hide the lumps and bumps you wish didn’t exist! Another item that I can picture with my new shoes…surely a reason to get it, right? 

Silk Tunic by Boutique in Black - £55

I think its time to do some maths, check my finances, and work out what I can afford to spend. Then triple it, forget about food and heating bills, and go to Topshop waving my debit card above my head. Hello overdraft, you’re too good to me. And who cares if I’ll be horrendously poor afterwards, I’ll look damn good in the process.
