Next is something that I'd wanted for so long I can't even explain. This was a belated birthday present from my aunt, and I love it so much. Its a gorgeous purple leather satchel, by The Leather Satchel Company, with my own initials on it how cute!
Next I treated myself to this beautiful, classic dress from Topshop at £40. It is my favorite colour being electric blue as I think its the colour that's most flattering on my skin tone. When I saw this dress on the hanger I didn't like it to be fair. The wrapped panels just sort of hung awkwardly, seemingly quite unflattering. However I had loved it whilst gazing through their website so I decided to try it on anyway and oh my god it just shows you should always try clothes on before you buy, because it can completely change your mind about something. I swear this is the most flattering dress ever. The wrapped panels are so figure hugging that they make you look super slim, and I love dresses with long sleeves which is a bonus. I think this is my new favorite dress ever, its so simple but I think its a classic piece that I'll get lots of use out of.
Finally I got an outfit that I had been pondering over for a while. I had wanted disco pants for a while as I think they are a fantastic alternative for jeans for an evening party look, they still make you feel dressed up but not too over the top if you don't want to go for that sort of look. These ones I snatched up from Misguided and I think they are a real bargain- £25. They are literally an exact duplicate for the famous American Apparel ones which retail at around £75, which is far too over priced. These come in various colours, (I was torn between navy), but I went for the black as I think they are quite understated and generally more wearable. They look great teamed with any form of crop top; I went for this burgundy sleeveless one from ASOS, which again was a real good price at £12, and is a great staple for your wardrobe as it can be worn with so many different outfits.
