Outfit Sixteen - Sorry its been a While!
As I said sorry its been a while the first few weeks being thrown into Uni have been a little hectic to say the least but now I have a timetable of studying - yes a timetable! Its getting better! Last night was the Topshop 20% evening and the credit crunch shopper was spotted as street style for their facebook page! woop! This weeks outfit is a simple summer dress but dressed up and layers for those winter cold months that have suddenly hit!
The Outfit:
Dress - Topshop £45 but with 20% off £36 (I think thats right? Maths isn't my strong point!) I'm thinking of this dress like my other flowery dress so I am expecting ALOT of wear out of it throughout the winter months!
Navy Cardi - £19.99 from Zara I bought it to replace my old one and haven't really worn it until this year! Mainy due to the fact Ashleigh is wearing tons of navy and its rubing off on me! I too want a little nauticalness in my life!!
I would wear this dress with mayb a vesty top underneath as it has little capped sleeves, or a long sleeved top in black or white or any colour from the dress. Thick tights or tights and sock are a MUST for winter teamed with big black over the kneww boots - perfect for Autumn/winter! Chuck on an enourmous bag like mine £9 Primark its HUGE and can fit tons in it but it does squeek as its new and plastically however Rhi has the same one from last year in brown and now hers is all floppy! this is the aim!

Outfit Fifteen
This week a bit of heritage and autumn winter styling going on. I wear this dress a lot in winter as its so simple to add warm layers too such as long tops under or super thick woolly tights. Add boots bag and off you go. It can be teamed with a bit of sparkle for a night out too.
The Outfit:
Dress - £20ish Primark last year tho. Doesn't mean I'm going to stop wearing it this year.
Team this outfit with leggings £3 from Primark, vest underneath if preferred and big wintry boots £15 Primark. Perfect for the heritage trend this A/W.

Outfit Thirteen
Outfit Thirteen unlucky for some! What's with all the rain it was chucking it down in Dublin and then stopped and the sun came out just as we got on the plan! Only to touch down in Manchester in a downpour again!! Therefore I have decided to do a rainy day teamed outfit this week so we aren't all prisoners in our lovely dry warm houses and we can venture out into the monsoon season?!
The Outfit:
The Mac - H&M last year but apparently lots of people had it at Leeds so they may have another bath for this year? plus I bought this after I saw a girl wearing a black and white version so they are bound to have other designs! Plus its rather warm and cosy when zipped up.....Plus if its not raining too much you don't need an umbrella!!!
Jeans - £40 Topshop I live in these though!
Shoes - £15 Primark in Liverpool last week!! there very comfy though there like high heeled slippers?! I haven't actually walked to town in them yet tho so that will be the test!
Team this with electric blue driving gloves for chilly hands £6 from Primark or wellies or flats. My friend Becky got some amazing wellies that are black with pink spots on in Matalan last week and they have matching socks available too!! But all in all this really is just weather for ducks?!

Outfit Twelve
Today is almost the start of August Bank Holiday. Festival goers are off to Leeds, Reading and Cream fields and some of us are off on a girly weekend to Dublin! Today I feature an outfit that can be dressed up for the office, down for the summer or add a bit of sparkle for the evening! It really is a dress for any occasion. I got this dress in New york sorry everyone however the accessories are all UK! I got it after my mum spotted a few girls wearing it around Soho when we finally found the store it was a must have. I then wore it home on the plane and the scary USA police security airport checker lady said after check I was who I say I am nice dress! - Ace!
The Outfit:
White dress with navy embroidery - As I said from a shop in New York $19.99 however they have a very similar style of t-shirt dress in topshop at the moment which I also wanted to buy.
Cardigan - New York as well I am afraid however the style is all around at the moment so I'm very sure you could pick a similar one up from Zara.
I have teamed this dress with long boots with a tassel at the back £15 from Primark! Got them in Liverpool on Tuesday, you could also wear heels the strappy ones are a small heel perfect for me as I topple over on anything higher! these were from River Island and were a birthday present so they were a little of the steep side at £45 roughly but they still have them in store atm I checked the other day. Don't forget to finish the look off with a snazzy bag this bright pink one was £6 from Primark and it can be a clutch or it has a chain strap! The earrings were on sale in miss selfridges £2.50!

Outfit Eleven
This week it was Julia's birthday and Amanda confronted me at her party asking for outfits from only a certain number of shops and listed them as these are shops they have on the isle of Mann. Amanda I hope you have Topshop as it's a Topshop themed outfit this week!
I've had this dress for a few months and I wear it a hell of a lot. Well worth the money I paid for it as you can dress it up and down with jeans, leggings, tshirts, jackets - Amazing and bang on trend!
The Outfit:
Flower Print Dress - £40 Topshop yes a bit steep for a credit crunch shopper however I have worn it practically twice every week since I bought it I'm never out of the thing! So it works out ok!
Leggings - £3 Primark can't go wrong with a but of Primarni!
T-shirt - £4 from H&M I like H&M for basic tee's there super there so cheap you can have one in every colour!
I would put this outfit together with SUPER high shoes (please note I cannot walk far in these they are BEAUTIFUL though and I could stare at them all day long) these were Topshop a birthday present this time. You could also just add pumps £8 from Primark and there really comfy. Throw on a satchel and off you pop!
