At the beginning of the year I made a very bold statement to the boyfriend which went a bit like this 'I am not going to buy any clothes for at least six months but instead save my money for future grown up type things'. I am now just over two months in and I CAN'T DO IT. I physically need to buy clothes it is like a disease....a very fun disease.
So I am allowing my self to buy one item a month and it needs to be special and not another black vest top of which I probably have about six hundred.
So I started doing some online research (very important) and I came across a shop that I don't normally look at but I found some simply AMAZING things in there.....the shop in question River Island.
The main reason I have steered away from River Island is the fact that in the past they have loved to whack on a bit of 'bling' to almost every item of clothing. Although I do hail from Essex I am not a fan of diamante adorning items of clothing. However, it looks as though River Island have realised this (thanks guys) and have taken a step back from the bling and have created and amazing range of vintage inspired treats.
Here are my favourite pieces...
Although summer seems a long way off this dress is just beautiful and would look great with flats sandals or dressed up with tan peep toes...
...I love this dress for the colour alone but it also as it nips in at the waist and has a swirly skirt...simply divine...
....this dress is a real treat...1950's prom silhouette with a gorgeous floral print but it is short enough to wear during the day without looking over the top...
...although not my normal style I bloody love this dress and it is a real daytime to evening transition piece...
High waisted skirts...you can't beat them....although my one tip with the lighter cotton floral version below is to wear a slip as it stops static (evil, evil creation) and makes the skirt hang better.
At the moment I have a real lust for lace and capes and this top combines the two, it would look great with the skirt above and would balance out hips perfectly.
However although I love every piece above and could easily buy each one I did give myself a limit of one piece per month and here it is.....
...I love this as it is black so can be worn now, has a floaty skirt, is vintage inspired, is nipped in and.....has pineapples on it....who couldn't love a dress that has pineapples on it...??
