Within reason

Hey guys!
After my whole "no-more shopping, for a long time" speech, I ended up shopping the other day but I will qualify this by telling you that the charity shop was having an everything-you-can-stuff-into-a-bag within reason sale...the guy handing out bags kept stressing the within reason part! Anyway, I'll share my buys with you later, a pretty-ugly navy blue dress with a zip, a velvet top and a cute bag. This is Wednesday's outfit;

The tights, which are such a pretty colour, are part of a package of things sent to us by the lovely people at tightsplease, thanks so much guys! I'm looking forward to wearing the other things they sent us, but waiting for the weather to warm up a bit as they are a bit more sheer than these 60 denier babies! You should definitely check out the site, free UK shipping! Enough gushing (but seriously, thanks!), the shoes are ancient New Look, I think the knee-highs are from Topshop, the skirt and necklaces are H&M and the t-shirt is from New Look.
Thursday;

The grey dress is from H&M, as is the necklace and the tee-shirt is from Topshop, the wedges are from Barrats (I heard that Barrats is no more? I never really shopped there but it's still a bit sad when companies go bankrupt!).
Thursday night;


I wore my new Topshop dress round to my friends' flat (they live right around the corner from me, woop no taxi-money-wastage!) for a little party, we had originally planned to head out to a club but got a bit too comfy drinking Passoa and lemonade on the couch and watching bad TV! Which explains the rubbish pictures, I was intending to get better ones at the club! The dress and necklace (which admittedly is very similar to the H&M one in the previous outfit!) are from Topshop, the leggings are New Look and the shoes are old old old Asos. The bracelets I think are a mixture of vintage/ebay and New Look but with my swamp of a jewellery box one can never be too sure!
ps low-back converters from LaSenza save my life! I ain't about to go braless and I also am not about to flash my bra-back to the world! I'm the biggest fan of low cut backs on dresses, because I really hate cleavage-y dresses on me (only on me, other people can totally rock them!) and the attention they beget, but I think backs are more subtley sexy? Could be wrong but that's how I feel on the matter!
Have a great weekend everybody!
