I ♥ Tophop


 
 I walked in to Topshop today, just to have a little look and the truth is I wanted everything. Even more so when i saw the sale rail and all the gorgeous clothes that were hanging there calling my name.
   
Yet sale but still not so cheap, not when you pick up 8 items and spend about half an hour trying them on in the changing rooms, I was strong however and put everything back on the rail and walked away.


That is the thing about being a student, I'm sure your expected to keep up with the fashion, always look like you've stepped off a cat walk. At least that's what I see when I look at all the girls around the Uni campus and in the high street. 


How do they afford it though? We're all students right? Do they not eat? Do they not have a life? I can't quite understand it. If I didn't have to feed myself, enjoy myself and live I would look like the manikins in Topshop and River Island!
I have this thirst for clothes and fashion but it's one that I can't seem to satisfy at the moment. Sadly that comes down to the fact most of my money ends up being spent on food and you know, the things you need.


I am in love with colours of this season and worker boots. I must admit though, they were not my cup of tea to begin with but every day I walk around the city and see them on different girls - and i want them! The thing is though there are so many different types and styles of these boots, I'm a little bit overwhelmed and unsure of which ones I actually like.


It's become clear however, with the money situation I may have to take a rain check on the boots and wait and see what summer brings. The weather may actually get warmer - and then who wants to hide their feet in a pair of boots?



As i write this though I'm beginning to think to myself - Fashion is everywhere, just because you don't wear what the models are wearing and what Topshop says you should wear doesn't mean you don't have a fashion.


The world is full of so many different people and every single one of them is a different person. Yes - i admit i love the fashion that magazines say you should be wearing but there's probably someone not so far away from me that hates it. That's not to say however, they don't have style. They probably wear what they want to wear from the shops they want to shop in. So who's to say they don't feel fashionable just because their clothes are not from the likes of Topshop?


My point is everyone has their own fashion and style ideas, and when people may think someone else dress sense isn't fashion that's because it isn't their fashion. I don't think I need to elaborate too much about my ideas of fashion, just go Topshop if you have any doubts. Sadly however - I love it but I can't exactly warrant a shopping spree in there just now. 


You wait, when I'm earning the big bucks, I will be Miss Topshop. Until then, not so much.
