what I wore: high street challenge + clothes show live ticket giveaway!

fluffy knit crew jumper: topshop
black quilted skirt: topshop
white crop shirt: the whitepepper
croc slouchy holdall: topshop

the word challenges usually fills me with fear (mostly a fear of any form of physical exercise) but a high street one..? KAPOW yes please.

I'll be attending this years clothes show as a guest of echo falls; it's an event I always wanted to go to when I was younger (the benefit of going now I'm older.. well I can have myself a nice old glass of white in the echo falls wine bar hurrah!) the challenge was to find a high street outfit for the show with a budget of £75.. and the above pics are what I've put together! 

as always I was drawn to topshop like a magnet, I've been looking for a clean a-line skirt for winter layering and this quilted one fit the bill perfectly! the fluffy jumper was a foregone conclusion.. SOMEONE STOP ME! pastel baby blue and soft as a kitten I can't stop stroking myself because I'm virtually wearing a hug.

I've worn boots here today but I may switch for flats when I head to the clothes show as I'll be whizzing about taking pictures of all the goings on! I wanted to be presentable but comfortable and this skirt and jumper combo is just about the most comfortable thing that's ever graced my skin... puuuuuur.

now for a little extra fun I have a pair of tickets for the clothes show live to giveaway yippppee!! please enter via the rafflecopter giveaway below; I'll be announcing the winner this weekend! 

there are a pair of tickets up for grabs (for your preferred date 6th-10th dec) and this one is just for the UK as travel costs are not included! The winner will have 24 hours to get back to me with their choice.. good luck everyone!
