Wardrobe Additions

I promised you a little showcase of my latest purchases and thought that I would introduce a new post to my blog; ‘Wardrobe Additions’. This will be perhaps a monthly regular featuring the new items I have bought within those 4 weeks. Sometimes there might be lots like my most recent guilty splurge but when I’m back to uni life, unfortunately my wardrobe suffers.

So here are the new clothes, accessories and shoes I have filled up my room with (my clothes don’t actually live in my wardrobe now as there is not one teeny tiny bit of room, no word of a lie, which consequently makes for a very tidy bedroom as you can imagine!) and here are some ways in which I could wear them:













(NOT ALL THESE ITEMS ARE MY NEW PURCAHSES BUT WERE NEEDED IN ORDER TO SHOW YOU WHAT I WOULD WEAR MY NEW ADDITIONS WITH - ITEMS LISTED IN ORDER OF OCCURENCE IN PICTURES)

Lyrex glitter harem pants, £29.99, River Island
One shoulder ruffle top, £18, New Look
Black gladiator heels (aren’t new but still lovely!), can’t remember the price but I know I got 25% staff discount off, Next
Grey chiffon shorts, £36, Topshop
Black ruffle top (again isn’t new), again can’t remember sorry, River Island
Black shoe boots, (aren’t new and never worn them but aren’t they gorgeous?), can’t remember the price, New Look
Patent black belt (pack of 2), £5, New Look
Owl necklace, £2.50, Primark
Leather shorts (ABSOLUTELY ♥) £59.99, River Island

Black bow shoes, £11?, Primark
Tan belt, £10, Next
Navy heart print skorts, £6, Primark
Plain white vest top (again not new), not sure as it was a gift, Jack Wills
Denim shirt (bought at the beginning of summer), can’t remember, New Look
Tan brogues, £26.99, River Island
Bow necklace, £1.50, Primark

Brown biker boots, £30, Primark
Beige frilled lace socks, £4.99, New Look
Black harem pants, £28, Topshop
Pearl necklace, (again can't remember, sorry), Miss Selfridge

These are just some of the ways I will wear my new a/w goodies both casually and for a night out. I’m so pleased with them all and think some are great investment pieces for this season – I know leather shorts probably won’t be acceptably worn for long but they are so durable and will just better with age. Those, the blazer and the boots are my fav buys! I can’t wait to take all these beauties to uni with me and show them off, the only trouble is...I still want more!!

Ps, do you have any other suggestions for how to wear these items differently in order to create various looks? What are your favourite buys for this a/w?

If you like this outfit styled post and would like to see it more often please let me know (Also if you would like any pictures enlarged to see the clothing more clearly just let me know and I can do that for you)...x
