NEWLOOK HAUL

Hello again!

If you read my post last Thursday I said about doing another haul on the other items I purchased, so here it is! These items are from New Look, apart from 2 of them- The Benefit Mascara and Blusher.

From New Look I purchased 2 vests- one in black and the other in cream, a denim skater skirt, ear stretchers, 2 packs of footless tights, a rucksack, and a collar necklace. In Debenhams I bought a Benefit mascara, and Benefit blusher- you can buy Benefit make-up in Debenhams aswell as other beauty ranges.

The vests and the footless tights were more essentials to me, something I wear quite a lot of the time. I wear vests most of the time because they add an extra layer of warmth, and as I do dance most of the week I wear footless tights for that, and footless tights are good just for wearing around the house on a lazy day.

In the picture the bag looks brown, but it is actually an army green colour with black fake leather lining, and golden buckles. I got this bag because I needed a new bag for school, before I got the bag I was using a rucksack from Claires. The rucksack from Claires lasted me quite a long time, but it was small and didn't fit my books in leaving them crushed and damaged so I felt it was time I got a new bag.

If you're wondering what I mean by a 'Collar Necklace,' it is just a collar-like you get on polo shirts, but stylish and worn as a necklace. The collar is done up by a button at the front, depending on the shop it can depend on the way you do up the collar. I really like the idea of having a collar which can be paired with a plain jumper, and make a statement of the piece.

The denim skater skirt isn't quite as thick as denim, but it is a faded blue/white colour which looks like denim. I had a black skater skirt from Topshop before I got this one which a friend borrowed, and is still borrowing so I thought I should get a new one. With this skater skirt, I wear a grey tshirt with rolled up sleeves (from Topshop) tucked in, and add a statement piece necklace as everything else in the outfit is quite plain. 

Skater Skirts are really cute, and I feel as though they are really in fashion right now. Nearly everywhere I go I see people in skater skirts, I think this is because you can wear them for going out to a party or just for walking around shopping centres in, they're really great skirts and if you don't have one I recommend you get one.

Thank you for reading and see you on Sunday!
