black velvet


Topshop shorts

Jeeeeze velvet is hard to take a decent picture of! Anyway, I finally own a pair of velvet shorts! I've been wanting a pair for so long now. I pretty much live in shorts because I'm always in fear of accidentally flashing whenever I wear skirts or dresses haha. I think velvet looks more formal than denim shorts but not so formal that you can't wear them on a day to day basis :) I wore these, a skull top and a blazer to new years, but I didn't get around to taking a picture and I think it's too late to post the outfit now! I actually wore polkadot tights too which I felt gave the outfit a nice edge, plus I'm a sucker for anything polkadot. 

These are priced as £32 on the Topshop website but I only ended up paying £6 for them! When I took them to the checkout they popped up as £18, and after a lot of confusion from staff they decided to just sell them as that price. I've heard a lot of people say that this has happened to them recently with the velvet shorts. They're not on sale on the website so I don't really get whats going on here, but oh well! That plus my student discount and a £10 voucher ended up with me only paying £6! So happy considering I was expecting to pay £20.

I'm moving back to uni on monday so I should really start packing. Oh, and do my assignments......

  3. I have these shorts too, and I think they're fantastic. I kinda bought them on a whim because I'm not the fondest of my legs, but they look fitted without the 'im gonna pop' feeling. I love the high waist on them too (perfect for a meal out when you eat a tad too much ;) - )
