Shopping

At lunchtime today I bought Elle magazine as a treat for myself and while reading it I got an overwhelming urge to go shopping (which is why I generally avoid buying fashion magazines). So I stopped off at Liverpool One on my way home from work and had a luxurious hour of wandering round the shops and trying things on. 


When I'm in the dressing room I sometimes like to pretend I'm in the film Clueless and there is a soundtrack of fun '90s pop music, and I'm about to start taking polaroids of all my sartorial ensembles (I actually do have a worrying amount of 'trying things on' snaps of myself on my phone which I should probably delete). 


In Elle there was a £20 Kurt Geiger gift voucher so I got some pretty bracelets absolutely free. I also got an orange 'duffel cape' from Republic which I am now not sure about, on the grounds of practicality. I also think it might be a bit weird-looking now that I've left the sanctuary of the dressing room, where everything always looks fabulous. 

These Kurt Geiger bracelets should have been £20 but I got them free with the Elle voucher!

I drew this picture of the duffel cape from Republic as I would feel silly posing in it, and you would probably agree that it does indeed look weird and I would feel sad. (Update: I took it back to the store in the end as it's just not 'me')
