When I first saw this co-ord outfit on Topshop.com I promised myself that when I had the money I would buy it. Topshop is pretty expensive, especially for a little bargain hunter like me, and It was quite a big deal for me to buy this set at full price - But I did! Unfortunately the fringe tassles are the 'loop' kind which snag on absolutely everything! The jacket has a hook at the top to close it cape-style and the sleaves are 3/4 length. The shorts have a zip at the back and they are a regular fit. This set is no longer available on the Topshop website, but you can buy it on Ebay if you look around a bit.

It's good to have a few 'special' pieces in your wardrobe, even if they are high maintenance! Link me to your own in the comments below.

OOTD ft. Asos Sequin Tunic - Madam, You Appear to be Missing a Heart

 

This Asos sequin heart tunic is a beautiful wardrobe statement piece. I paired it with a simple black velvet skater skirt and gold platfroms for a schoolgirl-glam look. Despite how much love I have for backless numbers, for those of us belonging to the Somewhat Large Bosom clan tops like this are just not our friends. Even with the mightiest wizardry of crossover-back bra straps, magical tape, and an item that I only know as 'chicket fillets' we really need genuine support if we're going to be doing any activity at all, and if a bra or bikini strap does cross the open back it sort of ruins the effect. What I do love about this top is that it's a flashy glamorous item cut in a very casual way (at least from the front), like an oversized chainmail T-shirt :)

One does not simply put away the Sparkly Hotpants...

 

 When I lived in Germany, I remember reading an article on how to wear a summer dress in winter. Years later and armed with that wisdom, I refuse to acknowledge the temperatures that would restrict my wardrobe. Instead I pull out my arsenal of thick tights, warm thigh high socks, and cosy cardigans. These wardrobe weapons allow me to stay cosy and comfortable throughout the colder seasons without putting my favorite clothes into hibernation.
