There are numerous dresses on the
Topshop site that I am in love with so this section was really difficult to choose. I have a passion for shift dresses but also adore the 'cami slip' dresses that have made an appearance this season. Unusually for me I have opted for three floral pieces, I usually steer clear of girly prints but this dark 'moody' floral trend has me hooked!
1) The first Dress (Left) is the -
Sleeveless Crop Lace Dress
I was really unsure about this dress when I first saw it come onto the website and was really curious as to how it would look in person/on! So I ran down to my local Topshop and found out for myself. It was amazing, It fitted me so perfectly I just HAD to get it. The Back of the dress is beautiful too with a 'split' in the fabric where the zip goes down revealing the lovely black mesh insert that is underneath the green exterior fabric. There is also a Sleeved version of this dress too, which you can find
here! (Personally I think the sleeveless version is much much nicer!
2) The second Dress (middle) Is the -
Devore Strap Back Slip Dress
I only discovered this dress last night when I was looking through the
'New In' Section on the website. And I have fallen in love, could a dress be this perfect?! I love the slip style dress and with a low back with cross over straps too, what more could you want?! I thought this dress was so pretty & elegant and will definitely be purchasing at some point in the very near future.
3) The Third Dress (Right) Is the -
Painted Embellished Slip Dress
I have been eyeing this dress up for what seems like months and am SO tempted to purchase It but don't know whether I can justify the dress enough to pay the £75.00 Price tag. I suppose all of the tasteful embellishment throughout the moody floral print is gorgeous and also the strap back detail is very on-trend but I just don't know whether it would get worn, I could always see what Santa brings me.. Then maybe I will be able to justify it a little bit more!
Tops
If I'm being honest, tops/shirts have recently been on the back burner for me and have became a little neglected in my wardrobe. I'm all about the dress & jumper combination at the moment and haven't even spared them a thought! After deciding to do a 3's post in almost every section of
Topshop it has reminded me of why I used to wear them in the first place, with some really lovely items in-stock at the moment I have added a couple to my wardrobe and will be showcasing tops/shirts again this winter!
1) The First Top (Left) Is the -
Floral Check Mix Match Shirt
I absolutely adore clashing or mismatched prints and also love shirts because I can wear them casually and at work. After seeing it on the website I went to Topshop and tried it on, and fell in love, The Material & fit is so amazingly comfortable that I'm going to be going to Topshop for all of my shirts in the future because I have never found one that fit me as well as this one does. I'm a size 8 and find the size 8 loose fitting and slightly oversized. I like my clothes like this but for those who like tight fitting garments I'd suggest to go a size down!
2) The Second Top (Middle) Is the -
High Neck Stripe Crop Top
Considering it is starting get very cold outside I just have not been looking at crop tops recently as I couldn't bear to be out in this weather with flesh uncovered! But this cute high neck striped top is right up my street. I love the styling on the
Topshop website and would probably wear it for a smart meal or to go out for casual drinks with my friends!
3) The Third Top (Right) Is the -
Mix Match Print Shirt
I thought this item was similar to the first top in this section with the multiple prints all thrown into the one garment and loved it just as much. I like the idea of the three different prints but all still in basic monochrome colours. I think it creates a beautiful effect and couldn't resist buying it immediately. The fit Is the same as the 'Floral check mix match shirt' and would suggest going a size down if you're not wanting a slightly oversized shirt.
Coats
Every winter means one thing.. Christmas/Snow/festivities?! No, winter staple pieces like a warm new coat to add to the wardrobe. I think
Topshop have excelled themselves this year with their coat selection and found it really really difficult to pick just three!
1) The first coat (Left) Is the -
Collarless Check Wool Jacket
I love this coat so much and if I hadn't of already bought my winter coat I would have definitely purchased this.. (But there is also still time to convince myself I need another coat!) I Love the tartan/plaid/check patterns that have came into fashion and think they look better applied to a coat than anything else. Also the off-centre zip really grabs my attention and finished off the coat beautifully.
2) The Second Coat (Middle) Is the -
Curly Sheepskin Biker Jacket
Need I say more?! Nope.. but at £350.00 I can't see myself being able to afford this jacket any time soon.
3) The Third Coat (Right) Is the -
Teddy Fur Pea Coat
The Teddy Fur Pea Coat Is another favourite of mine because I am an avid fan of Fur (Faux of course!) and love the fact that this coat also comes in lots of different colours to give variety to buyers. I adore the white but realistically there's not a chance in hell I'd keep it clean so would probably opt for the
black version.
Jumpers/Knits
Recently all my outfits have consisted of a dress teamed with a
jumper, There's just something about that look that I'm a big fan of! Also chunky knitwear holds a special place in my heart! And the new craze of 'fluffy knitwear' has me captivated. I tend to go onto the
Knitwear section on the Topshop website and can never quite work out whether I like something enough to purchase it, and every jumper I've ever bought has been in-store I guess you have to meet a jumper before you can take it on as your own!
1) The First Jumper (Left) Is the -
Knitted Angora Cable Jumper
I absolutely love cable knit jumpers and hadn't seen a red one until looking on the Topshop site. The Idea of being able to wear a statement bright red jumper over black basic clothed really intrigues me and If I decide to purchase this item I will certainly be doing a blog post on an outfit similar to the one I just described!
2) The Second Jumper (Middle) Is the -
Knitted Fluffy Crop Jumper
The Fluffy Crop jumper that Topshop brought out is one of my favourite items in my wardrobe, It is an effortless piece of clothing that can just complete an outfit. The one pictured Is the Soft Pink but there are also other colours available on the website & in-store. I already own the
Black and the
Mint and want to complete the collection
3) The Third Jumper (Left) Is the -
Knitted Roll Neck Jumper
I am really keen to introduce some roll neck pieces into my wardrobe and feel a knitted jumper version over a T-shirt version would be so warm and comfy. Perfect for layering and wearing with statement jewellery I will certainly be adding one of these to my wardrobe this winter. Hopefully they will introduce some different colours into the collection aswell.. I'm thinking Grey, White & Black!
Bottoms
After deciding to only pick three items for each section I knew that 'bottoms' would be particularly difficult as bottoms consists of -
Trousers/
shorts/
leggings/
skirts. I whittled my way through and managed to pick three items. Each item here I really like and hopefully will be able to buy when next pay day comes around! I managed to select one skirt, one pair of shorts and one pair of trousers! Oh the variety!
1) The First Item (Left) Is the -
Black Luxe Satin Wrap Short
I love the glossy 'luxurious' material these shorts are made out of and believe they would be a valued item in almost any lady's wardrobe. As they are pretty dressy I would team them with a nice shirt or cami top for an effortless night out look. There was also a similar skirt on the Topshop website that I had a hard time deciding between. You can find the skirt
here.
2) The Second Item (Middle) Are the -
Puppy Tooth Drainpipe Trousers
I do not own a pair of trousers which aren't black or Jeans and I am totally ready to hand over my money for these trousers. I love the simplistic drainpipe style teamed with the classic but busy 'puppy tooth print.'
3) The Third Item (Right) Is the -
Black Fluffy Floral Pelmet Skirt
Where to start.. It's black! Every girls most flattering colour.. And It's Fluffy! 2 Really big positive factors when I was deciding whether to purchase this item or not. I also love the A-line shape and the layering effect at the bottom of the skirt!
Shoes
There are hundreds of shoes to choose from on the Topshop site at the moment, Shoes for every occasion and every personality. These three stuck out the most for me.
1) The first Pair (Left) are -
NIRAMA Cut Out Mid Sandals
Not Very suitable for this cold weather but I am a girl, and I am willing to make sacrifices for a nice pair of shoes!
2) The Second Pair (Middle) Are -
SHELDON Peep Toe Shoe Boots
These shoes are pretty much my idea of the perfect going out shoe! I was torn between this burgundy colour and the black colour they also have available. I think The burgundy are nicer personally though! You can find the black ones
here.
3) The Third Pair (Right) Are -
POLLY Premium Chelsea Boots
I love chelsea boots and I love sky scraper heels! These shoes seem the cater for my personal taste quite perfectly.
Bags/Accessories
Bags and accessories usually get overlooked amongst my wardrobe I have the mind set of I'd much rather pay £20 for a top that £20 for a necklace.. but accessories & Bags can totally make and complete an outfit. I've gotta re-think my outlook.
1) The First Item (Left) Is the -
Croc Doctors Bag
This is the item at the very top of my Christmas list! I just hope James has taken the hints I've sent his way! It is a large sturdy bag with an unusual opening & twist fasten. It caught my immediately and I fell in love with it! Which is extremely rare because I am the fussiest person in the world with bags! It is also available in
black!
2) The Second Item (Middles) Is the -
Chunky Curb Chain Choker
A nice bit of alliteration for a nice piece of jewellery! I love the choker necklace style and think it could make the most boring of outfits stand out.
3) The Third Item (Right) Is the -
Plastic Perspex Clutch
When I saw this clutch bag I bought it immediately! Its simplistic design teamed with the unusual material it is made out of caught my eye, I think it will look amazing teamed with a very simple dress for a night out! The colour stated on the site is 'silver' but the bag is very holographic and iridescent. Beautiful!
