the view from the afternoon


coat - river island, top - h&m, shorts - forever 21, bag - vintage, shoes - new look

This is just what I wore to Leeds the other day!

This coat is one of the things I managed to snag in the boxing day sales, it's from River Island which is somewhere I never used to shop but recently I've been going in there more and more. I haven't had a proper winter coat in ages and ages so I wasn't sure about getting this in case it was a bit too granny/schoolchild in ww2 but it's really warm and fuzzy so I couldn't really say no. 

Watched New Year's Eve today, which makes me pretty excited for New Year's, I think my outfit is sorted now so that's good! I feel like I should make some resolutions or something, but I never stick to them! Have you got any?

I love this coat! I find myself repelled by the bright lights of River Island, not sure why, I know some nice things lurk in there but the diamante sparkle of the place just turns me off. Ought to get over it really!x

Love this outfit, especially the colour of the shorts. I am pretty much obsessed with this shade of red, think I may need to do a post on it soon!

Rebecca said...

I find RI really hit and miss, for example I adore your coat, but their bags can sometimes be a bit tacky with all the diamante on them. Happy new year!
