As I was compiling my looks together, I was quite amazed that I actually wore every piece to work (isn't it great to wear trendy than a strict formal suit jacket..so00 2005!) We have a combo of high street and cheeky designers; and luckily the winter sale means cheap deals! I don't quite know how to describe my personal style, I see what I like and I vision what it will go with what I have or what I need to buy to match it. My first buy was the floral chiffon blouse from Miss Selfridge (£32), it was a hefty price tag on this delicate piece; but I knew it would go well with my skater faux leather skirt (£25) from River Island. Above left is the Zara cheetah gold neck chain; I wasn't very sure at first (£28) but I have always wanted a lion like accessory and the cheetah was close enough! I totally love the ring from Topshop (£8), it reminded me of Lara Bohinc and I couldn't afford the real deal (£200 approx). The dainty pink and gold bracelet was from Warehouse (£10), it's very dainty and subtle (if we are going to compare it with the Zara necklace).
And so the Harrods spend came down to my awesome Repetto (French label) leather ankle boots. They are ridiculously comfortable and they were originally £405 (I managed to find them in the sale and got them for £180). I must say, this pair is 100% leather including the bottom; which means I can't wear it in the rain. Eek, need to spend another £40 me thinks to protect them.
Viktor and Rolf have always been my ID perfume since the age of 17, the one perfume I can not live without. It is so sweet and musky, and matches very well with my Lancome pink Juicy tubes (on sale for £12), Finally, my Longchamp Paris crossbody in Bordeaux red I got in the sale too which was lucky. I paid £40 for it and it is so useful, especially for work and travel.
How much is this look?
Before discount: £650
After: £380. Eek, quite a damage for a simple work day look. *hears the bank breaking*
