Retail Therapy

I've not been feeling too great the past couple of days, so today's post is mostly just a few bits and pieces that I've picked up online while I've been in the house feeling sorry for myself.

I accidentally stumbled across this cute little coat on eBay. It actually popped up on the sidebar while I was searching for something else, but my dad's been having a bit of a winge recently because I don't have a Winter jacket, so I had a closer look.
I really like Khaki green at the minute and I've been looking for a coat with a fur hood, so I'd already decided that I really liked it before I'd even seen that it was less than £15, including p&p!

I've also spied these cute little Pixie Boots on eBay. I haven't bought them yet, but I've been looking for some nice flat boots that I can wear out on an evening and that are also a little more practical on the ice/snow that we've had recently. These are only £16.99, but I can't decide between the black or dark brown pair :/

And finally on my journeys through eBay, I picked myself up a little brown satchel bag. It cost me a total of £3.19, and I really love it. It's the perfect size to carry around my little bits in so I haven't really put it down.

Over the weekend I spent some time shopping with my sister and I spotted this black shirt for £14 in Matalan, of all places.

The photo doesn't do the shirt justice at all, but the only camera I have at the moment is my terrible phone camera and the photo of the shirt on the website looks completely different. You can see it HERE.

According to the website it's supposed to be a full length shirt, but due to my height it sits pretty close to my waist, so I've just been tying it tight enough that it stays put and looks like it's cropped. Also, there are buttons on the sleeves to keep them folded up at a nice elbow length and I think they look better like than full length.

Finally, I bought myself a few bits from New Look.

Cardi, £17.99 £8. Ring, £4.99. Skirt, £7.99. All New Look.

This dark red cardi, that's extremely similar to the red studded Topshop cardi that I mentioned a couple of posts ago (HERE), has been reduced to £8. And since that post I've also bought some more of the sew on studs in a gunmetal colour, and I think those will go great with the dark buttons on this cardi. I'll post a photo of it when I've finished, assuming that I can find a reasonable camera. :)

I also bought this quirky little gold Buddha ring. I have a huge fascination with religious iconography and religious jewellery, and already have a little collection of rosary beads and crucifix necklaces and even a Saints Bracelet that has beautiful little images of Hindu gods, so this is a great addition to my little collection.

Lastly, I bought this dark red tube skirt. I've realised recently that all of my skirts, except two, are black and decided to add a little colour to the skirt section of my wardrobe.

It's not been an exciting post today, but it's cheered me up a little bit. Nothing like a bit of retail therapy :)
