Boots// Topshop
Necklace// Shop Dixi
Before I go back to Cardiff I like to have a cheeky trip to one of my favourite places to shop on this earth, the Trafford Centre! When shopping, comfort is key, you can not get efficient shopping completed if your feet hurt or your too hot/cold. I chose the comfiest pair of Topshop boots (I would have liked to have worn my Dr Martens but I haven't quite broken them in yet). I paired it with a comfy pair of Zara leggings which keep you fully 'sucked in' with their thick waist band and thick, stretchy material. I then paired my cream, chunky knit H&M jumper and oversized denim shirt from Topman to keep me warm but not too warm. I hate wearing a coat when I go shopping because it is such a hassle, you have to keep taking it off and putting it back on when trying stuff on and your always too warm.
To accessorise, I added my usual silver jewellery, collected from an array of different stores. I then grabbed my rather tatty (hence no picture) River Island bag and headed off to the magical world of Trafford. It wasn't too successful I have to say, but I did have a very good shopping trip the other day so I guess I can't have two good shopping trips too close together. I managed to pick up a new Dune handbag from John Lewis which you can see on my Instagram, but Boots didn't have the Bleach London Dip Dye kit I wanted, which is a pain because it's so hard to get hold of in store!
Do you make sure you dress for comfort when your on serious shopping mission? What did you think of my very first OOTD post? Do you think I should do more?
I love this outfit, you look great! Would really like to see more OOTD on your blog x

Thank you! I'll have to find a good space to take pics :) x
DeleteWhen I go shopping I find a good mix between comfort and style. I like to look nice when I go out, but too many layers (and especially coats) make clothes shopping such a task, haha! I LOVE all the rings you have on. I wish I could find a good bunch of rings like that because I love how you wear them all together!

Shop Dixi is my favourite shop for rings or local craft shops! :D
DeleteGod you do jewellery so right! I hate wearing a coat out shopping too. I don't tend to layer up much because I get moody if I have to take off loads of layers and put them back on - usually a dress and a cardi works for me because I can just whip them off and there are no buttons or zips to be fiddling with.
