Can you see it?


This is one of my soon to be outfits for Reading Festival, which I will be leaving for in a few hours time..eeeek! 
 I decided I wanted a camouflage jacket in general a few weeks ago, I tried to find a cheap one in every charity shop I could think off and all the auction and free ad sites, but to no avail. After posting on Facebook that I really wanted one, a guy I knew from school commented and said, he had just found one at the back of his wardrobe, which I was welcome to have for a fiver!
Seriously five English pounds! When at the moment in shops such as Topshop they are going for up to £75! It is a bit big on me but with the sleeves rolled up and it not done up it doesn't look too big.

I decided it would look great with my Levi shorts, which were also really cheap off of eBay, about £25 if I remember correctly. I also thought what the heck lets go for a crop top, I had bought this in New Look a while ago, for £9.99. It is black lace which is really pretty, I think works really nicely against the masculine camouflage and the Doc Marten boots. Talking of these boots, I can't believe how cheap they were...even now a few weeks on!


I've only really planned this outfit for Reading as I have just bundled a load of T shirts, tops and my trusty Levi shorts, which go with everything, so I'm sure I won't be spending too much time choosing outfits, especially when they're bands to see!
So off I go to Reading festival! It's come around so quickly I can't quite believe it, can't wait to go to my first ever festival, with a bunch of friends (minus my boyfriend, because he didn't fancy going to a festival so massive, which is understandable).
I will be back on Monday to tell you all about my adventures, hope you all have great weekends?
Is anyone else going to Reading festival, let me know about your stories?

Topshop will be the death of my bank account

I spend money like I have some, which is a really terrible mind set to have, but funnily enough I have it. 
I went onto the Topshop website, to find they have further markdowns on sale items. As soon as I saw it I should have clicked the 'X' on the side of the screen to close the page, however being the curious George I am, I clicked on it anyway. Eeeek.

I came across three things:

The first are a pair of shorts I used in my photo shoot for my uni work, but in grey, I was amazed by the price; they were £22 and now only £7! So off they went into my shopping bag.


Then I thought of holiday, seeing as it's coming up in a few weeks I just had to get some things for that! I stumbled across these shorts, which were also a bargain going from £34 to £15! 



Finally I saw this skirt and fell in love a little bit. It was also £34 going down to £15 so it fell into my shopping bag as well. Woopsie. 




This is it now though, for my spending!
