New purchases...






Two of my new favourite purchases - this silver Zara jumper and blue vintage skirt I picked up from a day trip to Beyond Retro in Brighton. Totally obsessed with both. I've been doing an awful lot of shopping recently, however refusing to buy anything unless I'm completely 'obsessed' with it. It's a philosophy that's definitely working. It takes up far too much of my time (although  I have just had 11 days off work that's why I've been able to do it...) but it means I'm ending up buying things I love rather than all the crap I never even wear!

  10. that's definitely a philosophy to live by!
    I just recently decided to part with a lot of things from my wardrobe I once bought and never really wore. it's kind of sad but if you haven't worn a dress in two years, let's face it, it's not for you.
    I went for fewer things now as well and I love how clean and pretty my wardrobe looks now!

    you look amazing in your new treasures, you're kind of my hair idol! ;)
