Afternoon bloggers! So I've gone a bit mental this week and ended up buying not one but TWO pairs of Topshop shoes! I heard about Next2Nowt from the lovely Robyn so I decided to have a quick browse the other day. For those of you that don't know, next2nowt is an online website that sells second hand items of top high street brands but at pretty much half the RRP. For example, you can pick up a pair of £75 Topshop boots in excellent condition for around £40 just because they've been worn a couple of times - absolute bargain! The only downside is that the brand isn't advertised with the item and all labels are removed to prevent store returns, but to be honest this isn't really an issue. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that you can tell a Topshop shoe/dress a mile off, especially if you've seen it online or in the store a thousand times. So browse the website and you never know, you might recognise something from your favourite shop but for half of the price!
I had no idea where these black boots were from when I bought them, so I was pleasantly surprised when I could briefly see the outline of a Topshop label when they arrived! I think originally these boots were around £40 but I only paid £20 for them. I love them so so much! They remind of the sort of thing you'd find in a second hand thrift shop - they look 100% vintage if you ask me! They have 'me' written all over them, deffo gonna wear them A LOT this summer.
The last thing I needed when I went shopping the other day was another pair of shoes but I literally could not resist! These white cut out brogues jumped out at me straight away - they are so pretty! I've been after a pair of white shoes recently and these ones looked really old fashioned so I thought they suited my style perfectly. You know me - I love anything with a vintage feel to it!
I styled the two outfits slightly different depending on the shoes I was wearing. I wore my cameo necklace with the black boots for a more simple and old fashioned look. I pimped the second outfit up with my gold chain to add a modern twist to compliment the quirkiness of the white shoes.
