OOTD

My mum hit Marks & Spencers the other day and picked up a pair of fingerless gloves for me (hooray for using my touchscreen with toasty palms!) They match a pair of leg-warmers my sister bought me last year so I decided to do the matchy matchy thing for this OOTD:

Waxed style Parka jacket: M&S (UK 22)

Jeggings: Dorothy Perkins (UK 20)

Fingerless gloves: M&S

Leg warmers: Gift from Sister (probably from ebay)

Red Glitter Converse Low Tops: Littlewoods (UK 8)

Navy Cardigan: Primark (UK 18)

White T-shirt: H&M (mama range as it's longer than normal range)

My sis wanted in on the action:

Purpley/Pink Mac: F&F @ Tesco (UK 22)

Grey Jeggings: Dorothy Perkins (UK 20)

Boots: Duo (Malmo) (UK 8)

Oil cloth navy polka dot satchel:  Tokyo7

SALES

So I've tried to go easy on my wallet after a good few months of spending to my hearts content so limited my shopping to a couple of sites; ASOS and Evans. I should be an advocate for ASOS, it's where I seem to spend all my £££ these days. I haven't quite caught on to the Evans bandwagon yet so only have a few items from there but I saw a couple of nice pairs of boots online so decided to 'try-after-you-buy'. I especially liked these ones:

Black Knee High Pirate Boots

• Price: £59.50
• Colour: Black
• Item code: 32D68HBLK

They weren't on sale but I did have a 25% off code! (prima25) so I guess it counts...doesn't it?? I also bought this ring:

Wood Cocktail Ring

• was £9.00
• now £4.50
• Colour: Navy
• Item code: 13C36HNVY
• 
  

Pretty, right??? From ASOS I bought only this top in pink and black:

ASOS CURVE Wrap Front Ruched Sleeve Blouse

£26.00

NOW £15.00

• .

and I wasn't too sure about this one....I mean, I really don't want to be mistaken for a big grizzly while i'm out and about but I thought I'd try it on when it comes and decide then:

ASOS CURVE Faux Fur Coat

£60.00

NOW £36.00
So...hopefully lots of fierce OOTD's on their way!

Decided to brave the cold today for a bit of Boxing Day shopping with my mum and sister. We didn't get off to a very good start...the car wouldn't start!

Military Tunic: Dorothy Perkins (UK 20)

Leggings: ASOS (UK 20)

Boots: Dr. Martens (UK8)

Bag: ASOS (Brown washed leather)
