Sophie Helman: Fashion Wishlist: April 2015

Hello :)

Recently, my mum has been nagging me to buy some new clothes - I know, most teenagers have the opposite problem! - because I spend nearly all my money on makeup or going out with friends. So, I started an internet search for a few fashion staples to buy which can be worn in a variety of ways so that I can wear them as much as possible (important when you’re on a student budget!)

River Island - Black Cold Shoulder Top

I love this top so much and even though I think it is slightly pricey for what it is I can see a lot of potential in it. My go to outfit to wear with this would be black skinny jeans and black heeled boots for an edgy/goth look and I think it would be great for an evening out with either a dark smoky eye or some gold toned colours. It also would look nice with some leggings for a casual look, shorts for summer or a skater skirt.

Topshop - MOTO Grey Ripped Jamie Jeans

Topshop are great for jeans, especially if you love high-waisted ones like I do! I love these ones because I think the grey wash makes them stand out compared to the usual black or navy colours I normally go for. The rips are great too and can give a slightly edgy look to the outfit.

ASOS - Turtle Neck Top in Ponti

I ADORE THIS! I got completely drawn into the turtle/roll neck craze this winter and the fact that this top is a thinner material means it will be perfect for spring. The slightly cropped aspect of it means it would look great with high-waisted jeans or a skater skirt. I also really like the zip detailing on the back too as I think it gives a sophisticated look to the top. I’m definitely buying this!

ASOS - Crinkle Oversize Blouse

This is a great spring and summer top - it’s flowy and light-weight which is perfect for the heat. I love the fact you can team it with pretty much anything: be that jeans, leggings, shorts, a bodycon skirt or even tucked into a skater skirt. It is the perfect multi-use item.
