What I purchased today - Topshop

Hello guys, so today will feature what I've literally just bought off Topshop online. I always tend to use Topshop online simply because they have new items every single day and the Edinburgh store can't keep up! As with most online stores, Topshop always have so much in stock and all sizes, being a size 8, it's always a risk assuming they will have what I want in store.
So I received an email saying I had a 20% off voucher code to use online which expired today. Having already had my eye on a few items I figured I may as well take advantage of the money off seeing as my student discount is only 10%!

The first item I got was the pair of jeans below. All jeans I own are plain blue (different shades) so I figured I'd go for something different and summary. Gingham print is huge this summer and I absolutely love it, its vintage looking and just makes any item 10x cuter and when I saw these jeans I knew I had to get them. White jeans are another popular choice this season however being so pale, I just am unable to pull them off so I feel these are a perfect mix of two current trends. I already have a pair of blue denim Topshop Joni jeans and they are an amazing fit and have a choice for length which I never see any more!

MOTO Gingham Print Joni Jeans - £38

Obviously I couldn't then stop at one gingham print item so just had to purchase this crop top. It is so sweet and perfect for Summer! I adore the pin-up vintage style and this hits the mark with the frills, print and bow so I'm super excited to add this to my wardrobe. Apart from jeans, I don't wear a lot of blue and so this will be something nice and different that can be teamed with a midi circle skirt or high wasted jeans!

Gingham Frill Bralet - £18

As I've just said, I love vintage styles so now that circle skirts are in, I am so happy! Previously when I wanted one I'd have to spend a lot and get one from America which would include a big shipping price. When quality isn't guaranteed I couldn't justify it so now they are the new 'in' item, they can be found everywhere in a variety of price ranges. Being pale, I love pastel colours and I thought that this lilac was so Summery and flattering. This item I'd team with a loose fitting blouse for a night out or a tucked in graphic tea for everyday! 

Texture Gathered Knee Midi Skirt - £45

So, delivery should be no later than Monday coming and so I will be wearing these items when I can (revision is currently making me housebound) and I'll be able to create reviews and outfit ideas! 

Thanks for reading guys!

Selling unwanted, unused clothing and shoes?

I have a common problem - I am a compulsive buyer. I own a ridiculous amount of clothes, shoes and accessories and almost half I've never worn. I am going to America this year for two weeks and therefore need to get rid of a lot of my wardrobe to make room for new purchases as I hope to bring back a lot!

Now instantly when I thought of seeling stuff I went to eBay as I've purchased off buyers through it on countless occasions and never had a problem. I did not realise however that you had to pay regardless of whether your items sold of not, yes it can be like 50p if you use the basic advertising system but still I was not impressed although proceeded to put clothes and shoes on. After a week nothing sold and im a few quid less than I was! Not a happy bunny to say the least! It seems eBay is more for small businesses or items you can't buy where you live e.g. I don't live anywhere near an American Apparel store and have purchased items off eBay that have been worn once and are a third of the price.

So, I had to look elsewhere. After googling other sites to sell my wardrobe I decided to give ASOS Wardrobe a try and I am not disappointed. It costs nothing to put your items on their website and they take a mere 5% of what you sell each item for. The whole process of putting my items up was efficient and quick which makes my live much easier. Plus, within 2 days I sold a pair of shorts which made me very happy! So, I will definitely be sticking with ASOS Marketplace and encourage anyone to give it a go, you can't lose anything even if nothing sells.

Thanks for reading my post, I appreciate it and if you would like a look at my items on ASOS Marketplace my ID is AliDaves94, everythings a size 8 clotheswise and a size 5 for shoes!
