How To Know When You’re Becoming Too Much of a Shopaholic

Posted on by notcentralfashion

So it’s been firmly established that I opt for a casual outfit 10 times out of 10 on a day-to-day basis. I say day-to-day basis because getting dolled up in a dress for a blog post once in a blue moon doesn’t really count does it?! It’s unlikely that you’ll catch me in the street wearing a dress, a skirt, heels, but what you can guarantee you will see is a pair of jeans and my Stan Smiths. Don’t get me wrong, I find it fun to switch it up in a blog post, put on a pair of high heels and wear a look I probably wouldn’t put on if I didn’t have a blog (remember that time I wore a full length pinstripe jumpsuit?). That’s just what fashion is about. But I think the amount of jeans I’ve got hanging on a rack in my room and that pair of pink Adidas Gazelles I’ve got on my wishlist right now will tell you how much of a casual dresser I am at heart. Comfort is key, and who says you can’t look good and feel good all at once?

You know what goes well with jeans and trainers? A slogan t-shirt…and Adolescent do some great ones. I know some people can’t stand them, but if you’re a fan of slogans then definitely check out Adolescent’s website for some witty wording. I actually picked this up on one of my thrifting sprees (I think this was £3!) and I just had to have it.

I also just wanted to chat about this coat situation. So I received a Next gift card off my grandparents for my birthday a couple of weeks ago and I walked into the store with my mind on buying a sweatshirt. I ended up walking out with this little jacket in my arms, and let me tell you – it’s the warmest coat, EVER.  The reason I wanted to talk about this was because I think I’m slightly obsessed with Next at the moment. I seem to end up buying something every time I set foot inside the place and I had a lot of fun with the boxing day sales online! Is it too much for someone to buy 3 coats (YES, THREE, see the other two here and here) from the same shop in the space of a few months? Am I taking the title of ‘shopaholic’ too far or is it all acceptable for the sake of the blog?

Let me know if you’re a slogan t-shirt lover or hater! xx Sophie
