Well here it is:

This fabulous snow has me stuck inside all day with nothing to do but formulate outfits and bake, so while the chocolate cake's in the oven, I will share my Topshop related adventures.
The other day I purchased these mmmm-tastic Alice McCall troosers in the sale (£10!!!), and came home only to find myself falling into the same old trap of subconsciously imitating the Topshop lookbooks of the season.
Today it is "Memphis" described as:
"Take a trip to Memphis - America's Deep South - as splatter bleached denim, feather print tunics and slashed tees are infused with ethnic nuances. Pale jeans and oversized dresses are given a hand crafted feel with Mexican style embroidered trims, while cowboy shirts are strewn with stud work. With a nod to Rodeo styling, cropped jackets appear in lilac and marine-blue suede and shrunken waistcoats are adorned with folkloric prints. Leather satchels, studded heels and boots with tasselled laces finish off the Memphis look."
Ok so that doesn't really describe this outfit at all, but the leather boots and jacket, denim shirt and rodeo rousers are all part of the Memphissy thang, don't you think?
