Oh I just wanna go back hold on to the way that I was, cos you took away all my young life





Dress - Topshop / Coat - Topshop (eBay/ Shoes - Topshop (similar here)

How amazing is this coat? I'm borrowing it off my friend, harmony, we've done a coat swap for a week or so! She got it off eBay for only £40, I remember the hype around it when it first came out because Alexa Chung had it! If I remember correctly it was going on eBay for over £200! Pretty much a Topshop outfit going on today, I bought this dress on Valentines day before a trip to Sheffield, I was in two minds seeming as I had the burgundy version of this dress and it turned into rag after wearing it one night, but I loved it and just bought it anyway, then after having it washed my mum came storming into my room 'that new dress of yours has turned into a bit of rag, its gone all weird!! Stop buying sh*t!!' Arggh Topshop you let me down again :( In the photos the dress looks perfect but tomorrow I will be taking it back in store to get a new one which is becoming a little too regular with Topshop!

  1. Outfit looks lovely luce!
    With the Topshop dresses have you tried hand washing them? I know it's a ball ache but that usually makes the dress keep in better condition xxxxx

  7. I have the wine coloured one of this and I love it but I agree after one wash it went all bobbly which is a shame considering the price. You look stunning nonetheless! xx

  9. This is such a lovely outfit! Shame about topshop quality, and their stuff is so expensive too!
    It seems that ever since they expanded out of the UK their quality has gone down hill.
    You look so beautiful.
