Parka Life



 Parka - Primark - £16
Top - H&M (customised)
Skirt - H&M
Belt - H&M
Bag - Primark (very old)

Today, I'm introducing you to my new baby, my pride and joy. This is my new green parka. I had originally gone shopping looking for a dupe of the well known parka/leather sleeves Zara jacket that had apparently been massive last year, something I had completely missed. However as I caught on this year round, I wanted in. Zara don't sell it anymore (to my knowledge) but a lot of high street stores have dupes on offer. See River Island and Topshop. I was surprised however to see that Primark had joined in as well. I was trying Primark's version on (annoying my friend for opinions while she slumped in the corner with a headache - sorry!) as I spotted this little gem. I tried them both on, trotted to and from the mirror countless times but settled on the parka with the advice from my lovely friend.

I just know I am going to wear it countless times, it goes with almost anything. It's also really lightweight so is perfect for school. Although, it doesn't have a hood and I don't like the sleeves rolled down but hey, I'll be cold and have wet hair but the parka will still look good. (right?)

Last week I got my AS results, I'm happy with what I got (AABC) but cried none the less. I don't know what happens to me, whenever I get results I cry, good or bad. Anyway, I went for a celebratory meal with two of my best friends the day after and wore my parka over my new playsuit.

Sorry it's an instagram photo but I didn't have time to take a decent photo and I've shown the playsuit so recently that I thin it would just be repetitive. (Also, I was in the middle of unpacking so, mess!)

Are you into the new parka trend?
