So today, I went out for a lovely brunch and afternoon stroll around Manchester town and into one of my favourite areas which I live nearby - The Northern Quarter. I stumbled across this little charity shop on a corner. I had a peek in and to my surprise found this fabulous beige oversized mac/trench coat, which was originally from Asos (stated on the label). I tried it on and although the label said size 16 which would usually be way to big and hang off my shoulders as i'm an 8-10, it surprisingly looked great when it was on, as with the style of coat I personally like the oversized relaxed look and feel it has. Oh and for £12.99 - a match made in heaven!
 
I noticed my last blog post was about my other mac which I got last year around September, which is much lighter and more of a throw on and looks better open when layering. It is more of a jacket than a coat with its lightweight material, where as my new purchase feels and looks much more sturdy and that it would keep me warmer, especially as a 21st birthday present I am going to NEW YORK!!! At the end of March, which I am extremely excited about! I will be definitely posting about my time there, a place that has always been on my bucket list and I am lucky enough to have amazing parents to help me fund my trip big apple!
 
Anyway I do have a tendency to ramble on so I am going to get back to my uni work which is proving to be very difficult as I am set in the full time worker mind set (weekdays 9-6 can be a killer) being on placement, which has been great so far and opened up to a range of opportunities and more too come. I will hopefully post about my time at boohoo so far, when I get time. But for now caio.
