camel and green

Topshop padded shoulder trench, scarf, peter pan tunic, River Island thigh high socks, Tred knee high boots, Primark tights
So, this is what I wore back to Manchester yesterday. The coat is my beloved trench, which is getting more than its fair share of wear at the moment, and the tunic is one of Topshop's popular peter pan styles. See how short it is on me! It might have shrunk a tiny bit in the wash, but it was essentially this short to begin with. It really annoys me that they don't develop their tall range with these kind of styles, because they're really popular staples that come up too short on us tall folk! I never wear this tunic unless I'm going out somewhere where its questionable length can be concealed under my coat, so it's not too bad, I'm just in love with camel and emerald green colours together.
(I've no idea why the quality of the first photo is so crummy? And I have to smile because I just don't exude the straight faced cool of Fashion Toast no matter how much I try!)

These are some of the rings I own. I don't really co-ordinate my jewellery as you can see. The golds go next to the silvers, the big with the little, anything goes. And my nail art you've seen before here.

I'm back in Manchester today to go to the Trafford Centre with my boyfriend as we've been together two years today! Hoping to snap up some bargains in the sale, though everything half decent is probably gone. I won't be too disappointed, though, as I managed to get myself an amazing bargain yesterday on eBay. I've mentioned before that I'm pretty backward when it comes to eBay and sites like that, so I've really surprised myself. I was going to go the Oasis site to buy an aviator jacket I've wanted for ages, but thought I'd just have a peek on eBay to see if it was on there. Amazingly, there were TWO in my size and more than half the price of the one in store, brand new and with tags!! This kind of luck is surely to make up for the fact that I missed out on winning the lottery last week. Nobody bought the medium size, but someone tried to outbid me in the last ten seconds. Luckily I managed to win, so expect to see that soon. I've only got time to do this post today, so Wednesday Wishes will be missing this week. I should really schedule them in, shouldn't I?

Anyway, whatever you're up to today, hope you have a lovely day.

Happy Wednesday :)

  1. I may have mentioned this before, but your hair is a lovely colour! Looks so nice against the green too. I have hem problems too, but mainly with ASOS and everything being too long!

  7. I have the same dress and it's short on me. I think I shrunk it in the wash though (even though I followed the instructions) because I'm 5'6" and a bit so not particularly tall. I like how you've paired it with the trench coat, I hadn't though of styling it like that.
