Sometimes I wonder if I even have a style or if I just dress based on my mood. I'm not even sure how much I like this outfit anymore, but it's always fun experimenting, right? The leather-look backpack is a recent purchase, along with the tights and sparkly black nail polish (all from topshop). I haven't had a backpack for absolutely ages, and now I remember why - it's near impossible finding things at short notice and I'm always on edge that I'm an easy target for passing pickpockets. There's also the bizarre flashback I get from simply hearing the word 'backpack' - in my first year of secondary school I was known for sporting a giant backpack that made me look like a teenage mutant ninja turtle - and as cool as that sounds, it wasn't. But backpacks do have their benefits or course; they hold a surprising amount of stuff and they come with nifty little zip pockets (which come in so handy, especially when they don't work -_-) But the thing I really like about this backpack is the crackled leatherette texture; I find it gives off a slightly aged / distressed edge that I can't help but love. I know it's probably not to every one's taste but my mind's reeling now with all sorts of quirky styling ideas...
Have you made any random purchases lately?

I'm not sure how I feel about backpacks either, reminds me of school too much! this one looks great though, as does the whole outfit :) xx
ReplyDeletei personally think it would always be the combination of the two. mood will definitely affect your choice in the day, but the variation would always revolve around your style. and i love your styling!
ReplyDeleteI love that backpack.
ReplyDeleteI love that backpack! I just bought myself one from river island, I am on a one woman mission to convince my friends that backpacks are in fact hip.
ReplyDeleteFunny you should mention it, I'm trying to decide between floral or oxblood DMs, crazy times! I think I'm going to go for oxblood actually.
Hope that it's all going good at your new collage.
ooh I like your nail polish! I made some random purchases today, popped into town to get something specific and ended up buying a whole outfit as well as a few bits and bobs from charity shops! Didnt even get the thing I went for aha
