The Pogues

The Pogues by xwallflower-x featuring resin jewelry

Crop top / ASOS acid wash jeans, £33 / Resin jewelry, £2.46 / Dorothy Perkins , £17 / Ace Black / Georgia Knitted Coat With PU Sleeves And Pockets at boohoo.com

I've vaguely based this outfit around 'The Fairytale of New York' video by The Pogues...which suitably enough, is my favourite christmas song! I wouldn't go so far as to say that I'm a complete scrooge around christmas time, I just tend not to get excited over it, and I think that song fits with that pretty well.

I've seen a lot of holiday season outfit posts, so I thought I'd make my own- with a twist.
Being a Brit, I find myself getting stuck in the habit of dressing like the weather- a bit dark, a bit dreary. I wanted to prove to myself that I could still make that look fashionable, with the help of a few key colour pieces.
If my bank balance would allow it, I think I'd buy everything in this, including the veerryy expensive 'Acne' boots. What I like about this is that by simply changing the shoes, you could change the entire look of the whole outfit.

Is this an outfit you'd wear, or do you always make the effort to dress up around the holiday season?

I have to leave the house to go back into the pouring rain as I'm going to go see my friend perform in some christmassy...performance.

And on that note, I'll leave you with this:

My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown

Today I have learnt that whenever I say "I'm not spending any money," I am basically telling a massive lie. My bad. I've been in an awful mood for the past week or so, retail therapy was desperately needed! I even paid for express delivery on a couple of these items because I'm just too impatient to wait! 

Skirt from boohoo.com -£10

I already own this in the Berry colour (and I have a very similar one in purple, courtesy of primark) and I was shocked when I realised I only own 1 black skirt, so of course I had to change that! 

Aztec Vest from boohoo.com - £10

This is literally on the first page of the 'day tops' and I have no idea why I like it, as it's not something I'd usually go for it. It could be the migraine, but I hope I love it just as much when it arrives.

(As a little bonus, boohoo.com also offer 10% student discount. Can't complain!) 

Bracelets from etsy.com - Approx £8 (including overseas shipping)

I love these, so yeah, I ordered them. As if I needed anymore bracelets! 

I already own these boots from Primark, however I had a search online and you can buy them from ebay for £25. (Although I'm sure I only paid £15 for them, so it would be worth popping in to the shop beforehand to see if they still have them in stock!)
