Smart casual?

Yesterday was a busy sort of day, Uni in the morning for my new favourite lesson; fashion styling. It was the first seminar for it and I can't wait to get started! Our first assignment is to restyle a friend, a kind of personal shopping task, which should be fun. 
After that uni was over for the week, so we went into town, where I bought THE BEST top, and a gorgeous brand new coat but I'll tell you about that later. When I got home I had a few bits and pieces to sort out, as well as taking these outfit photos, before I changed because it was colder than I thought it would be! 


This was my outfit for the day time yesterday, I wore my purple/burgundy tank top on that was £3.99 in New Look, along with my New Look maxi skirt and my really old cardigan from the same shop...
This is awkward I just realised 90% of my outfit was from one shop. 


I also wore my necklace from Mint Velvet, I love this necklace it makes any outfit stand out straight away. To contrast this I wore my black authentic vans to give a more casual look, also because I had to throw a lot of my flats out, due to over wear! 


I had bought some shoes yesterday from River Island, however after wearing them last night I realised they were too small for me. As they cut up my ankles, so back to River Island to find the right size soon, in the meantime I'll be sticking to my good old Vans!

I have finally got myself some vans!

I used to have purple ones but I never wore them as they didn't go with my  personal style. However I bought these black and white authentic ones yesterday and I couldn't be happier.


I bought them for the amazing price of £34.99, a whole £9 cheaper than usual because the boyfriend and I attended 'West Quays, student lock in', which basically meant you get discounts on quite a few of the shops in the complex. It wasn't really busy which I was pleased about, I wasn't up for queing outside shops, as you had to the first time they hosted this event.


We went into office, where I picked these up straight away, asked a lady for a size 3 and 4 as my feet are an odd size, and finally went for the 4's even though they slip a tiny bit, it's better than my foot being incredibly uncomfortable in the size 3's.
I mainly bought these shoes because I love that you can put them with everything and they are really comfortable, but also because I have joined a gym, as of this Friday. I needed some trainers and thought seeing as I wanted some anyway I could also use them for a gym! 
Perfectio!
