how the hell am I supposed to leave?

Am I the only one that goes into shop sales and starts sorting out all the clothing that's in the wrong place, replacing clothes onto hangers and shelves off the floor? Because that's exactly what I did at H&M's massive sale. Really. I just sorted stuff out.
I initially went in to look around at things I could buy my mum for her birthday on the 9th, but ended up spending about £25 on myself. Whoopsie daisy! I did buy her some nice jewellery that I hope she'll like, as well as a bunch of other bits and bobs from different places. Went into Dorothy Perkins too, as that's her favourite high street store, and got her a few bits from in there. Hopefully she'll love them!

I bought this jumpsuit at H&M, in the sale, for £10. It was the last one in my size, too, so I was dead chuffed! But it was the only one on the rack that didn't have the sale tag on it- and I'm always paranoid about things like that as I get all flustered when asking about things and whether they're on the sale or not, etc. But I did it anyway; very proud of myself, of course!

Do let me know what kind of sale shopper you are, though- are you vindictive and relentless in your hunt for a bargain? Or do you sort out other peoples' messes?!

black jaeger blazer - charity shop - £6.75

heather gray woollen tights - New Look - £5

black basic shorts - Matalan

black legwarmers worn as knee high socks

light blue boyfriend t-shirt - New Look - £10

black flower corsage brooch - Claire's
I'm so in love with my new blazer- and I'm rather pleased I managed to get it for only £6.75. Charity shops can be brilliant for stand-alone pieces and rare finds like this one.
This entire outfit is sort of inspired by a lot of people I see both at college and on Lookbook, and I think it's actually quite adventurous of me to have attempted to pull off a semi-formal look like this. I was absolutely bricking it about the legwarmers/knee highs! To be fair, I spent the majority of my day pulling them back up my legs as they kept slipping down towards my calves. They're an old pair, and the elastic is now, sadly, non-existent. Hopefully I'll be able to invest in a couple new pairs at some point, although even if I don't, no harm done, really.

Anyway, I hope you're well, and that the winter isn't treating you too harshly. Keep warm! x

Part I of my birthday weekend "haul".

This is my first ever post here, so do excuse me if the fact that I'm a complete newbie is obvious. I have a blog on Tumblr- this one- and while I am primarily a photo-blogger there, lately I've been very interested in fashion blogging- therefore the creation of this blog. I follow some really amazing people, such as Bekah and Lily, whose posts initially inspired me to create this blog/to start fashion blogging.

To begin with, I think I should talk a little about myself- my name is Anshika, although I am known as "Ash" by almost everybody. I'm of Indian origin, but I currently reside in the small port city of Southampton, in England. I love it here, and think of this as my home, as compared to anywhere else in the world.

I turned seventeen two days ago, and I suppose you could say that I'm beginning a new project by creating this blog- new start and all that jazz.

I'm five feet, seven inches tall, and weigh about eleven stone. That's overweight for my age/height, but I'm working on it. I suppose this blog will (hopefully) document my progression towards being a healthier weight-

not only so I look better, but feel better and more confident too.

I go to sixth form college, and take photography, media studies, English literature/language, and communication & culture. I'm not a massive fan of college, but mostly because I just miss school. It's a permanent ache inside me, and I'm fine with the fact that it won't go away.

PS: Here's some people I think you need to follow. 1. 2. 3.
