Topshop New-in Picks + Buys

Today I woke up at 5:30am. This is very bad because I am getting very ill and so could do with the sleep however it is very good because it means I have more time in my day to do things like sit and stare out my window or at the pile of work I should be doing for uni.

Topshop at 10am is eerily quiet and creepy so I spent my time hiding behind the jewellery counters picking up some (a lot of) discounted rings. I also came across a glorious wall of clothing I could only joyously presume was the new-in section and so I ran home to compile this list of my favourite picks. 

I decided to pick up just two items because I don't get paid until tomorrow so...

I love shirts, I love anything un-fitted, especially when tucked into a pair of skinny's because the shirt goes all poofy and pirate-like (nice technical lingo). The detail in the sleeves and the way the blue and red colours are woven together is also so lovely. I worship anything geo.

Now because I'm a size 10/12 I usually go on guess work, a lot of 'ummm'-ing and 'ahhh'ing goes on because I'm too lazy to queue up for the changing rooms. Today I was feeling a little optimistic because I picked up a 10 and oh boy is it tight. Some hard graft went into zipping this bad boy up I'm tellin' ya. I only intended on picking up the skirt actually but the two geo prints are so clashing I thought they'd go perfect together so I gave in to the little devil perched on my shoulder and got both. I'm really obsessed with a-line skirts and the wool is so thick and comfortable. I also enjoy that the zip comes all the way down and I'm able to just wrap the skirt around me instead of standing into it. 

With valentines day just around the corner a lot of the new pieces are very bright and pattern-clad. I'm never a fan of anything too bright so my own picks are rather dulled down I'm afraid however you can check out all new-in items here on their website.

Here is a compilation of all the new-in items I'll most-likely end up owning in the coming months:
