So i went out today with my fellow shopper, salfordian and fellow fashion lover Soph, where we inevitably ended up in Primark.
We did start in New Look mind you, trying to spend our 20% off vouchers courtesy of this week's Grazia but it was exceptionally difficult. i found a gorgeous pleated wine coloured 50s skirt, but not in my size. I found a cotton alternative but then felt because i saw the pleared chiffon one and loved that one, i felt like i was wasting my 20% off. Soph tried on a knitted oversized mustard jumper, a cosy thick navy cargidan, a black and blue striped blazer and the purple sister of the aforementioned cotton skirt and for one reason or another didn't like any of them.
Feeling slightly disheartened, tired (and in Sophie's case, hungover), we battled through the Saturday crowds to Primark. One never to disappoint, Primark soon delivered and we were having to grab baskets.
In between picking up two cardigans (prepation for a/w) some tights (neccessity) and some pretty accessories (wanted), Soph spotted the most beautiful faux fur jacket ever seen, which brings us to the title of the post.
Now, i've only really started taking an interest in fashion for the past year or so, i'm always pretty safe withn my outfit choices. i stick to what i know which is pale floral dresses in the summer and darker floral dresses in the winter. sometimes i wear polka dots, if im feeling particularly crazy. but that's about as far as it goes.
And now i've seen this leapord print fur coat with beautiful 1920s style brass clasps, and i've fallen head over heels. The jacket is priced at £35 which is a pretty pricey jacket from Primark, but the detailing and the quality justify the price.
How has this happened?! this coat is so not me! i don't have anything to go with it, i don't know when i would wear it or even where. but i have to have it.
so is it about time i finally had fun with fashion, and went with it? Afterall i'm 22. Even if the jacket is a horrible mistake, it will just be a funny picture to show my kids years down the line.
And it DOES get cold in Manchester in winter.
hmm, it's a tough choice...
