recent purchases

hii so i've bought a couple of things in the past few days that i want to share with you! i am in diar need of a serious shopping trip. this past year at university has forced a dwindled shopping habit and my wardrobe has suffered as a result. plus i have put on a million pounds in the past year which makes things more difficult. be careful if you're heading to uni soon guys, honestly, that weight can just creep up on you!

grey utility joggers, river island.
i love these, they're really comfy for chilling out in and yet i wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen in public in them unlike other items of clothing i own for the same purpose such as those black velour sweat pants that i DEFINITELY DON'T own :p. they were £26.99 which is a reasonable price in my opinion. they're not too unflattering and i like the stitching details on the legs so all's good there. one downside was the sizing in riverisland which was quite depressing.. does anyone think their sizes have gone smaller?

now i really should already know never to buy something without trying it on, no matter how confident i am about it but clearly i don't because that's not what i did with this top. i like it because it's a simple baggy top that can be chucked on anyday as it's easy to wear and goes with most things. it's from topshop for only £16. i got it in a size twelve which is normally fine and i know the style of the top is meant to fit baggy but it was absolutely huuuuuuuuge! i got it home and it looked just ridiculous. so i'm going to return it next time i'm near topshop for a size 10 or maybe even an 8. hopefully they'll look better. if not, i'll exchange it for something else.

this weekend has been pretty boring. i work at clarks and have been there a lot recently but tomorrow is a day off! hallelujah!
