Dress: Urban Outfitters Sale, £16 (w/ staff discount)

I've been a little naughty this week and bought a few bits for myself, which is something I was hoping to resist throughout the month of December because of having to buy Christmas prezzies. However, when I saw this vintage little number staring at me from the sale section at work I could not bare to leave it behind! With it's black velvet top half and gothic carpet-like print skirt I was instantly reminded of my unlikely style icon, Sabrina Spellman. I can certainly see her rocking this with her tan leather rucksack and peep-toe flatforms around Westbridge High. All I need now is a little black cat to complete the look!

I know, I know... I need to start wearing a different necklace, but I absolutely love this one to bits. It's such a statement piece, that I feel like I don't need to accessorize any further once I'm wearing it. I'm back in Southampton now after a short break back home in Essex, which was absolutely lovely! I can't wait to return in a couple of weeks for a few days before I once again become a slave to the retail industry over the holidays. Those who work in any type of shop will understand my pain.
