I couldn't wait to hit the shops at the weekend for a spot of retail therapy, it's been far too long since I've splurged and treated myself. January was such a long month and I've become a little bored of the clothes I already have and felt like investing in some new pieces to update my wardrobe. I didn't buy too much, but I did get a whole new outfit from what I purchased which I'm pretty pleased about.
I don't normally shop in River Island, but I fell in love with this beautiful Beige Drawn Wool-Blend Oversized Coat (£80) that they have in store at the moment. I have been searching for an oversized coat for months and this one is just perfect! It's a great winter coat, it keeps me so warm and I ended up buying the size 10 instead of the 8, so I have lots of room to layer up underneath. I normally buy coats that are more fitted so this style is very new to me, but I love it, oversized coats look so chic and super stylish.I know I'll get a lot of wear out of this, it's ideal for everyday wear and goes with pretty much everything in my wardrobe.
Every shopping trip requires a visit to Topshop, where I picked up this Striped Tunic (£29) and two lovely scarves. I actually bought the tunic last month but ended up returning it as I thought it made me look a bit 'boxy' and did nothing for my figure. After trying it on for a second time though I changed my mind and now I adore it. It's the perfect dress for when you're having a lazy day and you want to just throw something on but still look like you made the effort. I really do love wearing stripes, it's such a classic look that never fails to look so effortlessly cool.
The scarves I purchased were this Dogtooth Scarf (£18) and this lovely Check Scarf (£18). I know spring is just around the corner but I couldn't resist picking these up, they both go amazingly with my new coat and they will never go out of style, so I can dig them out next winter too.
What do you think of my latest purchases? Have you treated yourself to any new clothes lately?

that coat is gorgeous! i'm so tempted to pick up that stripey tunic, everything i buy seems to have stripes on at the minute xx
ReplyDeleteI love that coat you are wearing :) It looks great on you! The scarf also gives a great pop of colour to your otherwise monochrome outfit.

They are really old topshop ones, I got them around 2 years ago, you could check eBay though. Xx
DeleteThis is so cute.
ReplyDeleteI really need a good scarf and long trent coat.
In New York and the East Coast, it's been snowing at least 3 feet for the past three weeks.
I'm completely over it and I'm in desperate need of a new wardrobe.
