Although most girls would give up food before giving up their Topshop addiction, I was kind of pleased that I'd be finally kicking the latter habit by moving out of Britain. I find that the price of Topshop clothing has dramatically increased in the last few years, while the quality has decreased. I don't think one item I bought in the months before I went away lasted more than a couple of weeks without quickly eroding, seemingly gaining scars in the form of bobbles, holes and skags in the battles of day-to-day wear.
No one does fast fashion quite like Topshop though. I find myself browsing the site right now since I went to an electro festival on Friday night and bore witness to thousands of Korean girls imitating the Western festival uniform of floral dress, wellies and a straw hat. It made me feel nostalgic for summer at home and for the ubiquitous sunshine season's look that Topshop does so well, year after year.
Surprisingly, many items seem more affordable than usual and, oh dear, I see they've started delivering to South Korea. The catch? You have to spend over an-easy-to-reach target of £75.
This outfit has found its way into my virtual shopping bag.

The perfect summer designs, just like the ones I bought last year. And the year before that and the year before that....
I guess some habits die hard, for both high-street clothing giants and materialistic 22 year old girls.

Lovely to see a post from you in my updates! I hope you're going to buy yourself that outfit? If you can't treat yourself now when can you...
ReplyDeleteI need to wait until I get paid! Although it seems a bit silly to buy from Topshop as there are plenty of nice clothes here. I kind of like the idea of wearing TS and NOT bumping into a million girls wearing the same item, who also all look like me...
