As promised in one of my latest posts, I am completing the closet confidential tag. You can check out Fleur DeForce, the amazing vlogger that I got this idea from. I have to admit, I cant bring myself to start vlogging as to be quite honest I just don't think I would be very good at it. I just know I would make myself cringe and never actually have the guts to post anything, hearing my voice on a Dictaphone is bad enough let alone having to see my face as well so I am sticking with the standard blogging for now.
If you do like vlogging then check out:

Anyway... Here it goes!
1. What is the oldest item in your wardrobe/closet?
This is definitely my oldest item! I wore it on Christmas day about 4 years ago. I don't wear it very often at all but whenever I see it I do still really like it and cant throw it away. Its from Topshop and I think the open back is amazing! I am not usually into floral prints at all but this is a little bit different and in the whole 4 years of me owning it I have never seen anybody else wearing it which makes me like this top even more.
2. What is the newest item?
This is a little bit of a cheat as both the top and the skirt are new and I bought them at the same time but this fake leather skirt from River Island is my best new purchase. I originally went shopping for either the black or the nude colour in this skirt but when I tried all the colours on I actually preferred the burgundy. I am so excited to wear this outfit I have been waiting for the perfect event! I am going out with my gym friends (the best people I know) on Friday and I think its the perfect night to take the skirt out! The only issue I have is the waist is a little big but the size lower was tight around my bum (they should make half sizes) so I could only ever wear tops tucked in to this item. With Autumn and Winter coming we have to be sensible and I think this skirt will be great all year round and can be dressed up and down. Basically, I LOVE IT!
3. What is the most expensive item?
My wardrobe is pretty much all high street and as a 19 year old student I think that is expected. I do have a few designer items including my Michael Kors purse and clutch and some Kurt Geiger shoes but my Gucci watch definitely takes the lead. My mum bought me this for my 18th birthday and it is still the most precious thing I own! As I only have small wrists I didn't want anything chunky and I fell in love with this as soon as I saw it as its just so classic and simple, it will never go out of style. I literally cried when I thought I had lost it but don't worry it turned up, in the middle of the kitchen table (silly me). So, for £465 nothing else in wardrobe even comes close to this little gem.
4. What is the cheapest/most affordable item? (that you wear/use a lot!)
This black jersey dress from Topshop is so worn it is starting to get that bobbly texture that we all dread yet I literally cant bring myself to get rid of it! I think I only paid around £12 for this dress a few years ago but I have had so much wear out of it, its been worth every single penny. I dress it up, I dress it down, I wear it when its cold, I wear it when its warm... I would sleep in it if I could! Ive searched for a replacement but nothing comes close. Im attached and I cant let go!
5. What was the biggest bargain?
I bought this dress around 2 months ago, right in the middle of our heat wave. I have loved the trend for slip dresses for a long time but I thought they were SO overpriced for such a thin, tiny piece of material I couldn't bring myself to pay more than £35 for what is essentially, a nightie. I was shopping in Manchester with my friend from home when I came across this cute navy, polka dot slip dress with a lace hem and cut out section. I bought it from Urban Outfitters on sale for £10 and with my student discount it was £9, every little helps right? can you believe it?! £9! Bargain! I have to say I have really got my wear out of it with all the warm weather, I just hope I can find away to dress it up for the cold weather as its one of my favourite items right now!
6. What was the biggest waste of money?!
This top taught me a valuable lesson, don't always trust Ebay/ Depop. In the past I have sworn by these sights but this is definitely the biggest waste of money for me ever! In the pictures it looked like a completely different top and then I unwrapped it in excitement to find this... To be completely honest, even my picture does it justice. It is literally something a 6 year old would wear and its made out of the most horrendous material that clings to every lump and bump and for some weird reason made my boobs look HUGE! (not in a good way). At least its a lesson learnt and I am now a lot more careful online bargain hunting, its still £5 I will never get back.
My Topshop culottes have been an amazing staple item this summer. Perfect for in the evening when its getting a little chilly but still keeping it summery! They are a tad see through so black underwear is not recommended but they look so good with a cute crop top or even a cropped jumper. Heels are a must though! Although I paid nearly £50 for these, I think it was a worthy purchase.
Considering this is a completely person task it seemed silly not to include an item of gym gear. Whilst being at home I practically live in my gym clothes as 1. Im there so often 2. They are so comfy its ridiculous! I have chosen my new bright pink shorts. They are fairly new as I have only just built up the courage to get my legs out but these are great as they don't ride up at all. Can you believe they are from George at ASDA? I think they were £6 if I remember rightly. This is when Mum's come in handy for finding bargains in places I wouldn't even think to look. (Keep and eye out as ive been taking part in the Wedges & Weights Summer Sweat Challenge and will be posting about my experience soon).
Finally, my boots from Topshop. I've had these quite a while now and I was worried they would hurt my feet but they are so comfy I've really had my wear out of them. Its not very often that ankle boots can look good with shorts but these really do, with a cute pair of socks youre sorted for a warm day. For cooler days I wear them with my jeans and find they are really flattering for my legs, WIN!
Yours Fashionably
