My Wish list- casual high street look
As I am currently suffering from a slight cash flow deficit I decided I would make a wishlist of the clothes I like, rather than actually buying them. And seeing as I've been somewhat enthralled by vintage looks recently, I felt as though a return to the high street was in order. So these are some of the things I would really like to buy- I've tried to keep to a fairly realistic budget, as though I were actually buying the clothes, though you'll notice I let fantasy get the better of me with some items...
Red slim fit trousers- £14.99 (H&M)
Dark green cardigan- £14.99 (H&M) (yes- £14.99!!!)
Unsung hero devon men's casual brogue boot- £60 (Very)
Orange aztec belt- £15.99 (River Island)
Armani Leather bracelet- £165 (the Jewel Hut)
Grey cable knit Beanie- £10 (River Island)
Tweed flat cap- £10 (Boohoo)
Braces- £12 (Topman)
Altogether, I think the outfit combined to give a very contemporary, chic, stylish look. It's also rather cheap- the H&M items are an absolute bargain, and if you exclude the fancy bracelet and replace the brogues with something a little cheaper (though £60 isn't bad for brogue boots!), then you have the basics of an outfit for about £50 (a little more with the braces and belt). Each item has its own merits- the aztec print belt is very funky, and will create a nice contrast line between the bright, bold red of the trousers and the stripes of the vest top. The darkness of the cardy will go nicely with the brightness of the trousers, and guarantees the wearers' warmth. The hats are lovely too- the Beanie says edgy indie, whereas the flat cap says smart sophisticated. I hope you like it!
