It’s the end of the month, and my god has it been a long one. I’m practically living in a cave until payday, with only my laptop for company. Don’t know about you guys, but I like to play a game where I live in a fantasy world where I trawl the internet, fill up loads of baskets on various shopping sites, imagining how happy I’d be if I could just buy all of it! So, I thought I’d try a new thing where at the end of every month when I’m destitute I share with you all what I’m lusting over.
I’ve become a little bit obsessed with the idea of harnesses
for summer. Like a harness underneath with a baggy t-shirt or vest revealing
the detail? In my head it looks nice, in practice it’ll probably fall flat, who
knows. Through my obsession, I stumbled across this gorgeous dress by Noisy May
on Asos. It’s just a plain black dress but has this incredible leather harness
detailing in the back, it must be mine!
New Look is one of those stores I hardly ever get anything
from, but when I do I end up wearing it all the time! I’m kind of set on the
idea of dungaree dresses being a staple of my SS16 wardrobe, and am on the hunt
for the perfect pieces, which I think I’ve found here in this Blue Denim Pinafore Dress (although I’m secretly
holding out for Primark to swoop in and save the day.)
I’m also eyeing up this Stacey Denim Dungaree Dress (white) from Boohoo and these Roughneck Dungarees (black) from Drop Dead (please go into sale, please!).
Next up is my Gypsy Warrior basket. I’m always debating with
myself over whether I can justify the $19 flat rate shipping charge for the UK.
But then what if I get hit with customs charges too? Urgh, too many
uncertainties. I have a plan that involves getting a package sent to my villa
in Florida though, so hopefully it’ll all work out in the end.
Anyway, I’ve got my eye on a couple of pieces and there
seems to be a bit of a theme. First up is this awesome Moon Kimono. I don’t own
a simple black kimono anymore and love the plain white crescent moon on the
back.
The next is this mini dress from their Many Moons range. I
love the little crescent moon print and actually had my eye on the maxi skirt
too, but it’s sold out now *sob*.
Finally, the motherload, Motel. I think their light cotton
material is perfect for summer dresses and I plan on stocking up!
I love the cut of the Deena Babydoll dress. Light and floaty
but pretty and stylish at the same time. I’ve got both the Sundial and Floral
print in my basket and I do plan on nabbing both.
I do already have a leopard print skirt but it’s kind of a
ponyhair, thicker material and I wanted something more suited to a warmer
climate. I’ve never bought a shorter skirt from Motel so excited to see how the Annie A Line Skirt wears!
I’ve had my eye on the Motel X Grace Neutral range for a
while and knew I had to get something from it! I’ve plumped for this gorgeous
little slip dress. I adore the unique geometric design and love the added
strappy detail in the back.
I’m sure I won’t end up getting all of this, buy hey, a girl
can dream!
Do you stock up your online basket in preparation for
payday? What do you picture your SS16 wardrobe looking like? Let me know in the
comments, I’d love to hear from you!
Until then, bring on payday!
