(Late) March Haul

I thought I would share with you what I have purchased over the last month. Enjoy!

1. American Apparel 

1. Colour Bock Stretch Bull Denim High Waist Cuff Shorts (link here) - £54.00

I have had my eye on these shorts since last Summer but didn't want to pay £54.00 for them, so it was a miracle when I found a pair on E - Bay! I was a little apprehensive about these shorts as I heard they are a little tight and that it is probably best to purchase a size up but I went with my normal size and if anything, they are too big. These are super soft and definitely worth the money. These shorts are definitely going to be a main staple in my wardrobe this SS14. 

2. Missguided

1. Lilih Sweatshirt in Pastels (link here) - £19.99

Before purchasing this jumper, I had longed for a pastel jumper, so you can imagine my delight when I saw this on the Missguided website. My funds were relatively low at the time, but luckily Missguided were offering free postage for a limited time. I adore this jumper. It is super soft and very comfortable, and I love the different pastel shades. I may wear this jumper with the American Apparel shorts. 

3. Topshop

1. HYDRATE Two Part Pool Sliders (link here) - £22.00

I had been wishing for a pair of black sandals for a very long time so I was ecstatic when I saw these on the Topshop website. At only £22.00, I thought that was pretty good for Topshop. These are really comfortable and the black and gold go really well together. Definitely going to be big in my wardrobe this Summer. 

2. Moto Gingham Print Joni Jeans (link here) - £38.00 

As many of you may know, I am adoring the Gingham trend this season, as well as the pastels. Joni jeans have made me turn my back on any other jeans as these are the perfect jeans for me. High waisted and a very flattering fit. I also receive many compliments on these jeans; well worth the money. 


3. MOTO Black Joni Jeans (link here) - £36.00

Another pair of Joni Jeans, I told you that I loved them! Two years ago, I had purchased a pair of black Leigh Jeans from Topshop and I had never been happy with the rise but I put up with it. Until I saw the Joni Jeans. Again, these are high waisted and flattering. The bottoms are a little long for me and are a Petite size, so I have to roll them up, but I would do this anyway. Reasonable price. 

4. (Similar) Glamorous Colour Pop Daisy Shift Dress (link here) - £26.00 

The Topshop dress was a sell out pretty quickly, however, I have found a similar dress from Glamorous. You will probably be able to purchase the Topshop Daisy print dress via E-bay. The Topshop dress has a lovely Gingham print with a daisy print throughout. I love this dress!

4. Boohoo

1. Orla Leather Look Metallic Runner Shorts (link here) - £15.00 

These Boohoo shorts are  little bit out of my comfort zone but I loved them when I first saw them and just had to purchase them. They are true to size, yet have a very flattering fit. They are metallic which is another trend I am loving. I love how they are just easy to slip on and very sports luxe, which again, is out of my comfort zone but I am loving it so far. These shorts are in the sale at the moment at only £15.00 but they are selling out fast!

2. Erika Dogtooth Woven Checked Pelmet Mini Skirt (link here) - £15.00

I am still loving the check trend, but I am venturing with different colours instead of wearing tartan pieces. This skirt is going to be perfect for the Summer and will look great with pastel pieces. I would recommend getting a size up as the skirt is quite big on me but still wearable. Reasonable price at £15.00. 

3. Megan Gingham Boxy Long Sleeve Shirt (link here) - £16.00 

I just had to purchase this shirt, as yes, it is Gingham. I was actually a little apprehensive about purchasing this as it is a boxy shape and box shape shirts that I have purchased in the past have been too small or too tight on me, but this shirt is the best one I have purchased so far. I think this shirt would look good with the checked skirt if I fancied a clash of the prints day haha! The shirt is long sleeved, but I personally think the shirt looks better with the sleeves rolled up, Great price at £16.00. 

4. Tianna Box Pleat Colour Pop Skater Skirt (link here) - £10.00

I had wanted a pink skater skirt for a while and it was just my luck that I found this beauty on Boohoo. Definitely recommend for this to be purchased as it goes with anything and is on trend. What a bargain it is at £10?! Boohoo never fails to impress. 

5. Primark

1. White Turtleneck Cropped Jumper with Short Sleeves - (Bought on E-bay)
(Similar) Somedays Lovin Roll Neck Jumper in Fluffy Knit (link here) - £31.00

Unfortunately, the top featured in the picture was purchased on E-bay and Primark do not have an online store, (why not?! :( ) However, I have found an alternative via the ASOS website which is a jumper from Somedays which is a little pricier at £31.00 but it is in the sale. I do not shop at Primark that often as I do not have a Primark store in my area, but I just had to purchase this turtleneck fluffy crop, as I'm sure most of you know that I love turtlenecks and fluffy jumpers. This top is also great for the Summer as it is cropped and short sleeved. There are also a variety of other colours to choose from. 

6. ASOS

1. T - Shirt with Deja Vu Print (link here) - £14.00

I do love a good slogan tee. They are just great for tucking into a pair of high waisted shorts or trousers for a relaxed look. This tee from ASOS was very sought after as it sold out within days and luckily, it came back in stock a few days ago, so purchase yours as soon as possible! I love this tee as Deja Vu used to be my favourite word when I was very small. (Please don't ask me why) Haha! It's also a bargain at only £14.00!

7. Lazy Oaf

1. Let It Roll T - Shirt (link here) - £40.00

Again, another slogan tee but this is a cropped version. You may have also seen this featured in an outfit post which can be found here. I saw this tee on another blogger about a month ago and knew I had to get my hands on it but I wasn't too sure on paying £40.00 on it, however, I thought I would search for it on E-bay and there it was! Luckily, I won it, (ovbiously). I love the tartan sleeves and the design. It is a perfect fit and looks great with high waisted bottoms. If you do not want to pay £40, I suggest looking on E-bay!. 

8. Persunmall

1. British Style Checked Jacket (link here) - £24.47

This bomber jacket is actually from Zara but as it is sold out I have managed to find a bomber jacket which is virtually the same if you wanted to purchase a tartan bomber. Persunmall basically sell clothes which may be at a high price in UK stores but Persunmall sell these clothes at a lower price. I haven't completely left the tartan world yet as I still love my bomber jacket as it is versatile and great for layering. If you wanted to purchase this, I would recommend getting a couple of sizes up. My jacket is a size large and my size is between 8-12 in jackets. 

9. E - bay

1. (Similar) New Look Belted Mom Shorts (link here) - £19.99

I have purchased a pair of Black Levi Shorts from E - bay, however, I have found a great alternative pair from New Look for you. They are Mom shorts which comes with a belt. I am not keen on shorts which expose the bum, so I always opt for mom style shorts. I think these black shorts would look great with the tees from Lazy Oaf and ASOS.

2. Light Blue Blazer (link here) - £3.99

I had been looking for a pastel blue blazer for a while and this blazer was only £3.99! I had to wait about 2-3 weeks for it to arrive as it is from Hong Kong but it was totally worth it. Such a great value for money and it looks great paired with other pastels. You can view my outfit post on it here 

That is all my purchases for March. I feel I didn't buy as much in March, even though it looks plenty haha. 

Until next time,

Let It Roll










1. Lazy Oaf  Let It Roll T - Shirt (link here) - £40.00
2. MOTO Gingham Print Joni Jeans (link here) - £38.00
3.  (Similar) Dr. Martens Aggy Strap Ankle Boots (link here)  - £57.96
4. (Similar) Topshop Boxy Fur Gilet (link here) - £65.00


Firstly, I apologise for the lack of make up I am wearing in these photos. These photos were taken on a very busy day and I went without wearing mascara, I have realised mascara helps in many ways.
Onto the outfit. As the weather is slowly improving (yay! However, it is currently the type of weather where I don't know what to wear or not!) I thought I would go without a large, heavy coat and opt for the faux fur gilet which I feel is appropriate for this type of weather as you don't feel too overdressed or under dressed. I bought this gilet from Ebay a long time ago, but there is plenty of similar ones around, I just linked a Topshop one above. These gilets are very versatile and can be worn on any occasion and can be thrown on over anything.
 I have recently purchased the Let it Roll crop top from Lazy Oaf. The price of this is £40 from Lazy Oaf but I managed to purchase this on Ebay for twenty - something pounds. (I love Ebay me). I have also noticed this top on PersunMall a few weeks ago at only £16 but when I went to buy it, it was sold out :( I think it's always best to do a little search before paying £40.00. I saw this top on another blogger and I instantly fell in love with it. It is a cropped fit, so I'll probably wear it with high waisted bottoms. It has such a nice tartan print to the neck line and on the sleeves. The Let It Roll and dog image just adds quirkiness to it.
I paired this top with my Gingham Joni Jeans. I purchased these jeans around about the same time I purchased the Let It Roll top. (Yes, I purchased them from E-Bay, shocker). I think I may have to order many more pairs of Joni jeans as these are soooooo comfy and have a very flattering high waist! And I'm wearing gingham (shocker again). I love the gingham print this season. On my feet, I am wearing Dr. Martens Aggy Strap boots. These are not in sale anymore, however, I have managed to find some fakes for you if you're interested. They look no different to the originals from the pictures (link is below the pictures). I love these boots, they are super comfy, look great with anything and are different. The only negative is that they take an age to do all the buckles up and do the zip up but it's all worth it!
So, this was my first outfit I wore out without a big coat, I felt naked. BUT BRING ON SUMMER.

Until next time,
Sommer x
