I bought a new dress from New Look. I say bought...I actually got a New Look press voucher and spent it on some fun new clothes. The dress is very summery but I thought I'd try layering it up to mixed success. I also tried clashing florals but I'll let you be the judge of that...
Firstly, apologies for turning my own blog in to the closest thing to a child blog. I don't know if there are any child bloggers out there (i mean like 5, I'm sure there are plenty of 12 year olds) but if there are I bet they write about things they like or don't like or people that pushed them over in the playground. Seeing as I work from home...alone...sob, sob...there isn't even anybody to push me over so I can't write about that. I can, however, tell you about a man I saw on Askew Road who MUST have been like 70 at least in a funky fairisle sweater (sooo Eley Kishimoto) with a guitar on his back carrying a can of beer! Screw you Australians! Even our old(er) folk can booze in the daylight in the street!! How cool? I wanted to hug him, but seeing as he was deep in convo with a crazy I figured I'd leave him to it and walked past smiling.
Wow, could I get more off the point?!
Anyway so today I seem to have been informing you about the things I like and don't like. However now a conundrum occurs...I am not sure if I can like this. Some blonde girl from Croydon who most likely stinks of Marlboro Lights has (probably not) made some clothes for a store which you've probably seen over flowing with teenage girls. I write about it because I am a fashion writer and that is my job (although my post was heavily steeped in sarcasm to the point that I think people are scared to like it). And whilst looking through the range I found myself upsettingly drawn to one of the pieces! AGh! Now I am such a stubborn shopper. I made a vow not to shop at Gap when I was 13 because of sweatshops and continue to not shop there til this day. However, I do shop at plenty of other sweatshop endorsers but the point is, I said I wouldn't. Again, I said blonde girl stinking of fags for high street store would be shit so I can't like it! But Oh! I do!!! Admittedly, I haven't tried it on yet and the fit will obviously be awful, not to mention the fact that it will fall apart on second wear (second so that you don't take it back, first would make it too easy to complain, yeah didn't think I knew that did you!).
I might try it on if I just happen to be passing the High Street giant, and then I will definitely give in if it fits me. Eugh, it's hard being me isn't it?
