A not-so-interesting tale

Embroidered collar blouse - c/o Lavish Alice // Stripe top - New Look // Pini playsuit - Topshop

I was in New Look last week doing a return when I spotted these stripy tops for only £5.99 and, as usual, my 'return' turned into an exchange. They had five or six different colours available and I was determined I was going to buy them all. Thankfully by the time I got to the till I'd managed to enlighten myself as to the fact that this was a ridiculous idea and put three of them back, keeping only the one I'm wearing and the cream one. It was only when I went to hang them up in my wardrobe beside this Lavish Alice blouse that I realised I really liked the way they looked together and, thus, an outfit was born. I know that's that's a lot of exciting information to take in all at once so if you need a breather to recover I understand. Lavish Alice also have a wee pair of matching shorts in stock at the moment which I think would be really nice for Summer. Oh Summer, I've pretty much forgotten what that is.

Lastly, in other exciting news - I use the term exciting loosely here - I think I found the perfect shoes tonight.  It's my birthday next Friday so if any vouchers or moulah come my way they're going right towards these bad boys. Or maybe the black? Heh, I don't know.
