So saying the past few weeks have been hectic would be an understatement. You see I have been completing my pupillage applications :s this in itself is difficult but then add in the fact that the system we use to apply (similar to UCAS for uni) started to crash the weekend before they were due, and you end up with an extremely stressed Emma. The positive side was that due to the fact the system has been acting up so badly, the Bar Council decided to extend the deadline twice. This is a godsend as it was taking ages to load each page let alone to save or submit.
Anyway to avoid cabin fever and to prevent me going stir crazy I have actually been holed up in the flat constantly from the end of work I have been allowing myself a few hours a week to relax and decompress. This is also very useful as these applications are beyond important and after a while you are simply staring at the screen writing nonsense.
So in my time off I have in fact managed to pick up a few cute little pieces, I have been meaning to post them for the last 2 or 3 weeks but hey better late then never.
First up is a really cute little blue dress I picked up when I was out with my sister in Newcastle. Now looking at it I bet you can't guess where its from?
Primark! at the time I was trying to avoid spending but I had been looking for a little day dress and at £13 this was an amazing bargain. I like this because I can dress it up or down depending on how I feel. At the weekend I wore it out with friends in manchester with chunky tan wedges, tan belt, cream waterfall jacket and a tan bag. But I could just as easily dress it up with a pashmina/jacket and pair of cream court shoes.
Next up is a combo piece. The skirt is from H&M in leicester the other month and the crop top new look. I love the skirt but unfortunately I think it shrunk when I washed it :( so might need to have a look at the hem. You see Im 5'9 so if things hit my ankle wrong I just look daft, as if i bought the wrong size. The top was another bargain at 4.99, Ive tried it with a couple different looks and its really versatile.
Next is a denim vest and leggings. I saw some one out in town in something similar so kept my eye out. I got the leggings for a fiver and the top was 15 from George at asda. Its from the G21 range and is actually a size 12 shirt. I bought this because i really liked the detail and the back is long enough to cover my bum. (I don't like leggings as trousers, only place I wear them is the gym) also being a 12 its not too fitted on me which is the look i was going for. As you can see from the pic the shirt is distinctly missing some sleeves which is because I wanted a vest but even the nice ones weren't long enough so when I got this home i chopped off the sleeves.
Final new purchase is a george G21 maxi dress. I saw this when I was looking at the shirt but waited until after pay day to buy it hehe I really like that its not just plain grey and the top section is lined so its quite warm. Iv got another maxi this style, strapless with a floaty top and elasticated waist. They are really flatering and give a bit more shape then a normal sheath maxi. I paired this with a little cardy and pumps but once the weather warms up I think it will look really cute with sandals and a summer snood.
Next up is just a little mix and match from the other day. I paired the black crop top with some grey skinnies, the denim vest and some little black pumps.
What do you think?
