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 Fourteen

The Outfit: (the sleepy just woken up look)
Cardigan - Ebay yellowjelly £16 vintage old Lady cardigan very lovely though and rather warm! I plan on chucking it on over anything and everything in winter to waken up those dull and drab days!!
Stripy Top - Zara £15ish I bought it last year but its lovely! stripy tops are everywhere this season and there so easy to wear. Forget the horizontal stripe makes u large and just go with it! chuck on with a large a line shortish skirt or jeans and off you pop!
Jeans - Topshop as before £40
I have teamed this today with a large belt I got inspiration from Carri Bradshaw in SATC the movie but they have ALOT of these belts about this year everywhere!! but more studded mine was from Matalan. Teamed with arty flowery pumps from Office and a vintagy leather bag £2.50 from Oxfam!

Outfit Thirteen

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

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

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!
