yellow stripes and retro denim

Okay, so January was well and truly a bit of a shit-show (pardon my language). I always hate the ever-powerful feeling of the January blues creeping up my spine, and frankly, February could have come a lot sooner. I love the feeling that we're (slowly, but surely) creeping our way back into Spring now, as I'm so ready to bring back my leather jacket, trench coats and slogan t-shirts.
Last week, I did a little cheeky meander through the Oxford Circus Topshop (aka the temple for all fashion bloggers) and found a few great transitional pieces that I'm buzzing to share with you. They're versatile but playful and a bit different, which is what I really need to inject into my wardrobe at the moment. Topshop's current collection is super varied.

Top - Topshop / Denim Jumpsuit - Topshop / Scarf - Topshop / Coat - Gant / Trainers - Adidas Stan Smiths
I am absolutely in love with this denim jumpsuit. It's almost a pinafore/dungarees hybrid, and it's also surprisingly flattering even for us shorties. I think the high waist and wide leg combo will always be super flattering, though here I've paired it with my adidas Stan smiths and a bright yellow top, so I'll admit I do look a bit like an oversized toddler, but to be honest with you, I don't care.

Jumper - Unknown / Boots - Vintage (Faith)
For something a little more relaxed on top, I thought a super-soft cashmere roll neck would do the trick, but this time in a brighter, paler tone (lilac for the win). The shoes, however, are far from relaxed. I found these amazing cow-hide boots in a charity shop in Ealing (Ealing is the Queen ​of charity shops!) for £9.99. I have always loved thrift shopping but it's often a bit of a mind-fuck if you ask me - but finding something as crazy and fun as these shoes always makes it worth it! Animal prints always lift an outfit to me, so toning down the top half makes them really pop.
​* sorry for the lack of posts lately - I've actually not had a laptop now for over a month, and my mums amazing note died two weeks ago, so I've literally had no way of finishing this post, but I'm back in action now, so hopefully more posts on the way! x
