30% Off Jewelry At Topman? Yes Please

Well, I'm not sure where my sudden enthusiasm for Topman - a brand which I had previously condemned as being too mainstream - has come from. The point is, it's here now; and it looks like it's set to stay for a while at least. In fact, if they keep doing sales on the same scale as the ones they're doing currently, I don't see myself ever losing interest.
And when I say 'sale,' I mean SALE. A tonne of really nice items are up to 70% off right now - and you can take another 10% off if you have a student card! I could, of course, show you a selection of my favourites... But the list would contain almost half of the catalogue, and I wouldn't want to bore you with another selection of clothes I hope to own (one day, maybe).
So, instead, I've perused their jewelry collection, which is all 30% off, and picked out some must-haves. These are my faves (NB I haven't subtracted 30%):
I think chain earings are really cool. And I like skulls. No-brainer, really. £5.

I've never seen anything like this before, and I'm not quite sure what it's actually for. But I like it nonetheless. £8

I think chunky chain necklaces are really cool. This one has three chunky chains! As well as skulls and spikes! What more could one ask for in a necklace? £25 (not cheap either)

A split skull ring. Looks very pretty! £10.

Overlapping chains and crosses thrown in. Beaut. I imagine this would go well with a plain white vest top. £12

A feather bow tie?!?! How could I resist? £10

Spiky bracelets are fab. This one is a bit more interesting that the usual plain black/gold/silver spikes. £15.

Cross collar tips. This would really jazz up a plain shirt. £8.

I like bow ties (if you could call this a bow tie), and I like studs. Not really jewelry I'm afraid. £10.

A bendy cross and a funky chain, you say? £12

Winter Sales Outfit no.2


Another really simple look- casual but smart. It's a nice one to wear indoors on a cold Winters day. The snowy Jumper, which I found for £10 at a local vintage shop, is woolly enough to be warm, and baggy enough to be comfy, but is cut short at the waist via an elasticated waistband so isn't so baggy that it makes you look fat. It's got a kind of chicness to it, particularly when worn with the sleeves rolled up, that prevents it from wandering too far into grandad jumper territory.
The dark colours go together swimmingly; the white print on the jumper really stands out. The burgundy chinos can be found at topman for £15- and I imagine at River Island and H&M for a similar price. I often worry that I rely too heavily on Doc Marten boots, but is that such a crime when they add a sublime touch of class to any almost any outfit? The trick with DMs is getting the colour right. I chose dark green to go with the jumper, and laced up the boots in dark red to match the trousers- just to show that I put a bit of thought into them, rather than just chucking on the first pair I found. I imagine white laces would have worked well too, but sadly I didn't have any to hand.
The necklace is the true party piece of this outfit. It's a beautiful, spike-adorned chain, with exciting cuboid shapes increasing in order of size up to a nice big one, right in the middle, which never fails to catch light at some angle, drawing attention to the necklace. 'Interesting,' 'nice,' 'fancy,' 'lovely' and 'gorgeous' are all descriptors for this necklace that I hear regularly when I wear it to partys, or even just when I go shopping in it. I hope you like it too!
