Asos haul on Thursday

I completed iiiiiit! I started from right to left. It's all kind of jumbled.. You can just see Dolce and Gabbana's tapestry florals from their aw12 collection on the right, and then move in to s/s13 on the right there, with Burberry's metallic trenches, Prada's Japan-inspired florals and stripes and squares from the likes of Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton.

Speaking of the stripes, I would say that they will be the most influential trend this summer. Probably because striped clothes are fairly common already. But this season, stripes are going to be taken to a whole new level, for example they will be mixed with other geometric patterns, and will overall appear a lot bolder and will usually be considered the statement part of the outfit. I get paid on Thursday, so naturally have been familiarising myself with asos.com and all of the clothes I will buy.

I am going to share them with you, because they are amazing. Not all of them are stripey.

1. http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-A-Line-Skirt-in-Ponte/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2704374&SearchQuery=a%20line%20skirt&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Red

I feel I do not wear enough red, usually because I fins it sooo bold. But for summer it should be acceptable. This red skirt is adorable, I saw in the asos magazine a picture of a model wearing it with a black and white stripey baggy t-shirt tucked in and they complimented each other very well. Plus, this season, bold skirts are in so that is another fashion box ticked.

2. http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Sheer-Bomber-Jacket/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2315827&SearchQuery=sheer&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=-1&sort=-1&clr=Grey
I find that the sheerness of the material gives the jacket a very summery vibe, usually bomber jackets look very heavy. How practical it is, I am not sure.. I don't care. I'd team this with a pair of jeans, a camisole and some flats. Caaaaaaas. For those colder summer days (i.e. every summer day in the UK).

3. http://www.asos.com/Motel/Motel-Hollyanna-Dress-In-Faded-Vertical-Square/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2739983&SearchQuery=square&Rf-700=1000&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=-1&sort=-1&clr=Verticalsquare
I am so in love with this, not only is it bang on trend with it's 60's influences and geometric print, it looks pretty versatile. The dress is quite loose-fitting, meaning that it can be worn during the day with a denim jacket, or for colder days with tights. This is the first item I will be adding to my bag. I cannot WAIT till Thursday omgomgomggmmggm!!!!

I hope they will not have run out of stock of this by thursday. I love sheer things, make me feel sexy. I'd probably only wear this in the evening or nights out with some black jeans or a skirt.

5. Not sure between these two:

or
http://www.asos.com/TFNC/TFNC-Skater-Dress-with-Textured-Mesh-Top/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2282740&SearchQuery=skater%20dress&Rf900=1465&Rf-300=1924&Rf-800=-1,24&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=200&sort=-1&clr=Black in black
They are both pretty and I like the skater style, it's very feminine. I might decide to go for neither tbh, I got one from primark yesterday and it was only a fiver.

Yeah, so that is my Asos haul, counting down the days.

Also, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6yZnT599HM, she is so amazing.
