Americanised.




TOPSHOP top (1); URBAN OUTFITTERS necklace & skirt; PRIMARK jacket & top (2).

I did something a bit different in todays outfit post (did any of you notice?) I have two different tops on. The first picture is what I wore today, I've worn that top many times before. I've mentioned before that I like to recycle clothes, Topshop items are getting expensive so you have to get a good few uses from them. I think the beauty of fashion is that you can make an outfit look completely different with accessories, shoes and handbag.
The other top I'm wearing is a lovely top I picked up from Primark! I rarely shop there (nothing against it, it's just always packed full with awful people!) but I had to have this top. It reminds me of 50s swimwear! I tucked it in to my skirt today (the same style as this one - I love stripes!) but it does have a nice flared bottom to it. Not sure how to describe it, but I'm sure it will feature at some point.

I've changed my hair to a middle parting, as I was seriously getting sick of my hair. I do prefer it like this but I have massive issues with getting it to stay big and backcombed. I've mentioned before I have really soft hair which doesn't stay in place but to be honest, I don't really like products in it! There's no winning.

I've been massively busy today, I'm trying to move flats but it's no easy task! As I'm moving I want to have a really big blog sale to get rid of some things but its just an issue of getting to the post office when I work full time!

  8. Your hair is gorgeous my love. LOVE the outfits. At first I was like errr, is there 2 tops but I get it now, haha! Hate the fact Topshop seem to be getting quite expensive, ARGH. The quality isn't all that in my opinion, well not worth the actual money that you pay for an item.

  14. I love that Primark top, and it really suits you!
    Your hair looks big/backcombed enough in the pictures :) I also have a problem with products in my hair, I always feel like it's weighted down!

  18. I love the second top, can't believe it's from Primark!

  19. Its gorgeous, very katy p! :) have you tried dust it for your hair? its pretty good, and gives you volume but feels matted in a dry way... so it doesnt LOOK as if you've overloaded with products, if that makes sense? You can just feel it with your hands when its there.

    Anyways, good luck with your flat move gal :) and ill be ALL OVER your blog sale if you have one! xx
