Scallop edges

I have decided I am in love with scallop edging, there is just something so pretty and feminine about it. It seems to make a piece of clothing a hundred times more beautiful. I think I need some additions for my wardrobe.
Some items that I am lusting over but will most probably not be mine due to my poor wage packet.
Topshop
I would love to wear this shirt with a pair of high wasited bleached demin shorts in the summer. I would just add tights in the colder months to the outfits. I love the contast of the black collar. To be honest its not actually badly priced at £24. In fact its a bargain for Topshop. I might treat myself next month, I have done so much overtime this month I am due a monster pay packet. Topshop
Ahhh these shorts, I have seen them in so many magazines recently and its only intensified my need for them! The colour is amazing in real life and just screams summer to me. I think I would pair them with a black body and black platforms to let the shorts do the talking. They are £34.

Topshop
Again these tops are not badly priced for Topshop at £15. The only thing that had stopped me from buying them is the fact that I do not know what colour to choose! They are all so pretty! On my way to uni today I spotted replicas in a local boutique for only £8. Practically the exact top! Its a lovely coral colour, I think I might accidently go back on my lunch break and buy it!
Dorothy Perkins
I love the colour of this shift dress. It is such a lovely vibrant colour. It is such a simple and chic design, prefect to wear to work. It is priced at £33.

This dress is a payday treat. Its the only thing I am going to buy this month. I really need to start saving. It has been sitting in my Primark for about a week in my size, must have been a return as it was the only one. It was fate that it became mine! I love the print on the top. Ugh my face looks so rough haha! I don't cope with hangovers very well! I could not be bothered with my hair so just scrapped it back. Effort is not my friend today!

I am extremely hungover. Still. I blame the 6 hour shift at work which was torture! Luckily I was hidden in the stockroom so was away from all the hustle and bustle! I got some amazing news at work today. I no longer work the weekends as from 20th march. Result, no more hangovers at work! Woop woop haha!

A quick outfit post of what I am wearing tonight. I'm going out for a chinese buffet with some people from work. I so need this, hopefully it will sort my hangover out and stop me from being such a wimp. I am planning on stuffing my face to the max. I have to get my moneys worth haha!

Hope you all have a lovely evening!

My face looks so silly because my friend was making me laugh! So I am trying not to laugh!

I am off out tonight as you can see by the bottle of wine! It is actually our second bottle opps! I have not been out for ages and am spending tonight with my best friend which I am extremely excited about! We always create a bit of trouble together! I have been laughing since the time she got here!She cracks me up! Currently raving to a bit of old school Kings of Leon, the best kind!

I have tried to do a bun again but it not quite as good as the first time. It has too many grips in it for me to attempt it again haha! I love this dress, I think it is one of my favourites. I just think it looks quite flattering and doesn't matter if I am having a fat day! The shoulders are gorgeous hence why I have worn my hair up to show them off. I think I need to invest in a new pair of black shoes and a new black handbag, I seem to wear these on every night out! Next payday I promise!

Hope you all have a good night and a massive hello to all my new followers! :)
