Today’s post is 10 things that are currently on my shopping
wishlist. I don’t think I need much more of an introduction than that, so let’s
get straight into it!
Casual summer dress
First up are casual summer dresses. I think that dresses are
great to wear in the summer; they are effortless and can be dressed down during
the daytime and then dressed up if you are doing something special in the
evening, as well as keeping you cool during the hot weather. I still have a
couple of summer dresses that I bought last year and I am looking to add to the
numbers as I think that they will be great for when I go away for a week (10th
of August, not long to go!). Below are a few of my favourite casual summer
dresses. They are from Republic, River Island and Topshop.
Nude flats
I’ve wanted some nude flats for a while. The majority of the
shoes that I own are black so I think that it’s about time that I invest in a
different colour! I could do with some nude shoes to wear with the
jeans/leggings that are a brighter colour (I’m thinking of my pastel jeans) as
my black shoes don’t really match that well with them, so some nude flats are
definitely near the top of my wishlist! The shoes below are from Asos, Miss Selfridge and Topshop.
Casual tops
I feel that I don’t really own many tops that are ‘slouchy’
and good for wearing on the days where you need to get dressed, but would
rather have a pyjama day. I want a good selection of casual tops mainly for
when I start sixth form, but I will also get wear out of them on weekends when
I’m staying at home all day. It’s also good because, due to the simplicity of
them, they will most likely be quite cheap so I can buy several of the same
top, just in different colours. I also think that I can dress them up a little
bit so it looks like I have made a bit of an effort, perhaps with a long
necklace or a few bracelets. The tops below are from River Island, Topshop and H&M.
Cross leggings
As I mentioned in my 5 Favourite Summer Trends post, I
really want some cross leggings, so it’s no surprise that they are on my
current wishlist. I think that they can add so much to an outfit and they can
be worn with a simple top so that there isn’t too much going on, but still make
the outfit look really nice. I’m looking for a relatively cheap pair, as I
don’t want to spend too much on them as I’m not sure how much wear I would get
out of them- I don’t even know if I’d be confident enough to wear them out of
the house! Nevertheless, I still love them and it’s more than likely that I
will buy some soon. The leggings below are from Topshop and Quiz.
High neck jumpers
I want a few high neck jumpers mainly to wear over the top
of collared shirts, as I love the look of having the collar folded over the
neckline of the jumper. Despite it being summer, they will be good to wear over
the top of something when it’s a bit cooler so that there is the option of
being dressed for it being warmer, should the weather change (British weather
is very unpredictable!) I think that high necked jumpers look great whether
they are worn with leggings or shorts, and can be dressed up with lots of
accessories. They will also be a good transitional piece for wearing through
into the autumn and winter as the weather gets cold. The jumpers below are from River Island, Topshop and Miss Selfridge.
Collar tips
I love the look of collar tips and I think that they look especially
good on the ends of a collared denim shirt. I like how you can get a variety of
different patterns, as well as the ones with a chain linking the two parts
together. I think that they can really add a lot to an outfit, even if they are
a small size. Collar tips are also relatively cheap, so I think that when I
eventually do get round to buying some, I will probably buy a few pairs. These collar tips are from eBay, Asos Marketplace and Topshop.
Black shorts
I wear shorts quite a lot but I don’t own any black ones,
only light and dark blue denim, as well as some patterned ones. Although these
are great, there are some tops in my wardrobe that I always want to wear with
shorts, but unfortunately they don’t always match properly with the ones that I
have and would be much better suited to black denim, so I am on the lookout for
a pair of black shorts! These shorts are from Warehouse, H&M and Topshop.
Bracelets
Although I own a lot of jewellery, I don’t actually have
that many bracelets. I really want some bracelets that will add to an otherwise
simple outfit. I’m looking mainly on online jewellery websites as these are
often cheaper than high street stores, and I’ve seen a few that I like so
hopefully soon I will be able to order some,
and tick bracelets off my wishlist! These bracelets are from Asos Marketplace, Forever21 and Rosewreck.
Chelsea boots
Most of the shoes that I own don’t cover the top of my foot,
so if I’m out and it rains, my feet always get wet! I do own some biker boots which
cover my whole foot, but they don’t always match with what I’m wearing, and I
tend to keep them for if I’m going somewhere where it will be muddy, or if it
has been snowing and I’m going out in it. I think that Chelsea boots will be a
good alternative as they are casual and will provide adequate foot coverage on
rainy days! I think that I’m more likely to buy flat Chelsea boots than ones
with a heel, as I think that flats will be more appropriate for day-to-day
wear. These Chelsea boots are from Asos, River Island and Topshop.
It will probably take me a while to buy everything on this
list, but I’m sure that you can expect to see some of them appearing in haul posts
over the next few months! What items are currently on your shopping wishlists?
