**This blog post was from yesterday but didn't send properly**
Today has been a good day much better than yesterday where
I had some serious car drama and spent a lot of the day panicking! Tonight I
went out for a nice meal for a good friends birthday and am now very full and
tired, just sat watching some TV. Rather than doing a post on what I wore I
thought I would do a small post on some recent purchases I have made. I
graduated this summer and am just working part time and doing my internship so
for the first time in a long while I haven't been able to spend on clothes,
something I was always able to do before. This makes these purchases even more
special because I have to choose wisely at the moment!
First up is my Dana off the shoulder from Motel. Working in
the Motel head office means I am constantly surrounded by clothes and am always
looking at the website as well as different blogs, so I usually find around 100
things a day I want to buy!! As soon as this top came in though I knew I had to
get it, it's a great update of the crop top and means you can dress it down by
just teaming it with a high waist skirt and tights or wear it on a night out
with jewellery and lipstick etc. I'm not one for really flashing my stomach so
I got a larger size, which means it fits but is a bit longer; it also comes in
long sleeves or as a dress :)

Second we have the Hilary bodice in navy rose, also from
Motel. This was an item I had seen a few times and I just love the print so
much! There are a lot of items in this print and they are all so gorgeous but I
thought the bodice was really simple and versatile, plus it can be worn with so
many items! The only problem with it is the top bit is very loose and I have to
pin it to my bra or tape it to me, I think this is a top for the small chest
girl because if I'm falling out of it then anyone above a C cup is risking some
serious nip slip! It is lovely though and looks great with all black, as it's a
subtle and quite autumnal use of floral.

Lastly is the pink fluffy jumper from the Lana Del Rey
collection at H&M! I have seen this jumper on TV adverts, magazine adverts
and on the side of bus stops and fall more in love every time I see it. It
makes me feel like a pink lady and is so soft and comfortable, however if you
have sensitive skin like me I would recommend wearing a vest top or leotard
underneath as it was a bit irritating. The other thing is as this jumper is
wool it gets fluff EVERY WHERE! When I first tried it on it was on my jeans, in
my hair, my mouth and all over my room, so it might be a good idea to hand wash
it before wearing to prevent it covering everything and everyone in your life
in pink fluff! It is so lovely I can't stop gushing about it, and looks great
simply with jeans and loafers, plus because its such a soft colour it goes with
a lot of basics like grey, black and navy.
