Going shopping tomorrow

[quinara]

Yay, London shopping tomorrow! I really wouldn't mind getting some new things, since I am very much in a rut of just owning Topshop things (it's the only actually decent shop in town), which means chatting to everyone and having people say 'I love your jumper; I've got it at home'. And it's a running joke among several of us that we all have the same top in different colours. (Oh, but so comfy and easy to wear and ridiculously modern-looking for something so shapeless.)

However, it's fun to browse places online before you go shopping, right? I think so. Unfortunately, this means I find myself on the Selfridge's website in exactly the place where I never want to be because I can't afford anything and, and... Matthew Williamson, what have you done; I love you and your coat is so beautiful and worth over five months' rent. Aaaaaaahhh!!!

And now I must sulk because I've chosen academia as a career and will probably never own clothes as nice as these. :( Alas!

(On a brighter note, however; thanks louise39 for the cute Halloween spider gift! It's so cute!!

I don't know. You could wow your students in the lecture halls with your fantastic fashion sense! For the, you know, two outfits you will be able to afford, anyway.

Hee! Yes, I suppose. The problem is, when everyone else is dressing down, it's very easy to look like you're trying too hard... I need to get a book deal, I think! ;)
