This is another round of five picks and I know I haven't updated this blog for a week. Don't fret, I haven't forgotten, I've just been enjoying my mid-semester break. All of these five pieces I have been eyeing for quite some time and I thought I would share them in this round of five picks.

For the past two months, I've been finding the perfect wrap skirt. This has been a 'struggle', (but lets face it, there is more to the world than finding the perfect skirt) mainly because I couldn't find any in stores locally or they weren't at a suitable price point. However, this skirt from ASOS is virtually perfect and at a great price too! Combine it with student discounts and free shipping, I might have to order it for myself.

I know that I have placed an emphasis on building the wardrobe basics, but one trendy piece won't hurt right? This applique top is feminine but is edgy and dark at the same time. This top is great for layering especially when it is coming into winter here in Australia. This can be paired with a black skater skirt for an ultra feminine date night outfit or combat boots for some edgy glam.

ASOS FLIRT Sandals

For my final pick, I chose these pair of sandals. A simple black sandal is a wardrobe staple which can be easily paired with anything especially denim shorts on hot summer days. This sandal also comes in an electric orange colour which can add a pop of colour  to any outfit. The only things that stopped me from buying the orange pair was that I couldn't really wear it with anything. I've bought three of these items already and I may buy a fourth. Take a guess. Hope you enjoyed this round of five picks.

new in | classic button down

ASOS petite shirt

 On the heels of the 'Building the Basic Wardrobe' series, I have started looking into more basic pieces for my wardrobe rather than cheap thrills (also known as that ten dollar that you have never worn). This classic button down top has a tailored fit and will serve me well in the years to come. It is a cotton blend shirt with a three-quarter sleeve. Although I am five foot and three-and-a-half inches, I thought I would still be able to fit into the petite section at ASOS. For those who don't know, the ASOS petite range is made for those 5'3" and under. Despite this, this shirt fit me well. You can purchase this exact shirt here.

five picks from topshop

Well it looks like I have been window shopping online again. Procrastination levels are at an all time high - I should really submit myself for some counselling based on procrastination alone. Topshop is a store which I don't go as often as I would like so that means I am constantly browsing through its online store. In this round of five picks, I have found pieces which would be great for both the spring and fall depending on which hemisphere you exist in.

The floral calf skirt is definitely a flirty yet feminine piece - something I wished I had back in the spring. It is also at a longer length as well which is a definite plus if you are caught in some compromising positions (let's hope that is not the case). Florals are a never ending trend for spring - and as I type this I can hear Miranda Priestly saying "Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking." The patchwork shift dress has taken a more modern edge. It is a neutral floral with hints of mint placed in a patchwork fashion which works well for the dress. It can be a great dress for the workplace and can easily transition into an outfit for a night out.

The lace top featured above is pretty much perfect in my eyes. The lace detailing adds texture to an otherwise plain outfit and creates interest without being too over the top. Other the other hand, this denim jacket would be great for me this season. I have been trying to look for one without any luck. This jacket is just one of many on the market and I hope I can get hands on one soon.

Hopefully you enjoyed this round of five from Topshop. If you have any finds from Tophop, comment down below because I would love to see them.
