23.11.2012- What I Wore Today #77

After my posts centering on making the most of my wardrobe earlier in the week, I've been on something of a roll with digging out old favourites and getting some much-needed wear out of them. Whilst it's lovely to shop around for new pieces, at this time of the year it's important to be a bit thrifty and mindful of your spending. With Christmas (and the sales!) just around the corner, I'm determined to save my pennies for presents and some festive bargains, so have been searching through my wardrobe for some old gems. My outfit from yesterday featured something which I'm ashamed to say I'd more or less forgotten about, but which I'm very happy to have rediscovered:

 Blouse- H&M

Jeans- Topshop

Shoes- Topshop

This blouse was something of a spur-of-the-moment purchase from H&M about a year and a half ago, and I'm not too sure as to the reason I've only worn it once since I bought it! I was a bit apprehensive about how to style such a bold pattern at first, but it's definitely a piece which I'm really glad I picked up, and I think it works really nicely with a simple pair of jeans. The watercolour style print is also quite vivid, so it seemed like the ideal choice to try and combat the gloomy weather!

Are you feeling quite thrifty in the run up to Christmas? And are you guilty of forgetting about things in your wardrobe?
