When Resistance Breaks

February 11, 2012

. Topshop Denim Shirt £32 . Topshop Red & Gold Earings £8.50 .
. Topshop Black Floral Floaty Blouse £36 .
I broke, I did well mind, a good 4/5 weeks (with only one little purchase on route), but I couldn’t take it anymore. There comes a point when you really do have to treat yourself. This week at work has been pretty manic and I feel like I deserve a little gift for getting through it all. So on my lunch break in Friday, I dedicated an entire hour to the topshop chaning room. Having not ventured in a store in months, i felt like a kid on ADHB running round grabbing everything up. Below are a few instagram snaps of what i tried on and also a little show and tell of what I bought :)
Cringe pictures I appreciate, but these were some of my fave things I saw in store. I did regain some self control and only let my self purchase 2 things, although I fell in love with the earings below too so had to get them to go with the top haha.
 
If any of you were at TOWIB today you’ll have seen me wearing this black top. I wore it with my leather trousers and fur gilet (it was freezing). I have a separate outfit post to follow up with for that though so you’ll have to wait until tomorrow :)
 
So here’s what I bought, what do you think of my purchases? Lot’s of people seem to be on spending bands too at the moment, are you or have you been splurging?

      I really want a denim shirt like this one and have been eyeing it up for a while on the website, but don’t know if it’s too long. Is it quite long or a fairly average length? I can see me layering a black jumper over it x

      Lovely purchases. I really like the denim shirt too…and the earrings…and the top…oh what I would give to be able to afford a splurge at the moment.
      I’m moving in a few months so I’m trying to save every penny I can for then. Its so hard to keep control though! xx
