This week's Fitting Room Focus is a phone cam special. Enamoured as I am with my cutie phone camera (shout out to Samsung slide phones - mine is a GT-S3100), I do usually take a higher quality camera with me to fitting rooms to capture the colours and patterns correctly and to make sure I have pictures with a certain amount of clarity, but this time I wasn't planning a fitting room adventure, so I didn't have my "proper" camera with me. Since I'm not exactly a very normal fashion blogger, I think I can probably get away with it. Often my phone camera grants me more of an off the cuff, diary-like look, which kinda suits me better anyway.
This Fitting Room Focus takes place in New Look.

| the only top that genuinely fits me tbh |
So first thing's first - my pre-shop outfit. As you can see I'm wearing a huge zip-up jumper that makes me look like a little girl in a big city. The reason for this, the ultimate in cosy, is that it was hella cold that day, and I need mammoth protection lest I disintegrate into a series of (VERY special) snowflakes. And snowflakes can't even wear clothes.
Underneath this wearable radiator, I have a nice and simple well-fitting grey top, and a long tube skirt (also super warm and comfy). I have really gained a fondness for tube skirts lately. They are form-fitting, flexible, soft, and cheap.

| top - £14.99 |
I spotted this cutesy floral shirt with peter pan collar and since I'm already a brogue-wearer and as I have been known to exist between a peter pan collar and a satchel I fairly readily embrace the '60s/floral grandma sort of look. I like a bit of twee. I like handling tea cosies and listening to
Dolly Mixture. It's all good, if a little bit hard to maintain in the face of my undying love for trackie bottoms.

| dungarees - £24.99 |
Since I was little I've had such a love for dungarees. They just have such a carefree adventure tomboy vibe to me, which represents the core of everything I always wanted to be, really. Unfortunately they do make it trickier to go to the toilet, which is why I mostly avoid them these days. Adventurers have to take their ease of pee into account, really. Still adore them though.

| jacket - £24.99 |
Please try to ignore this artistically blurry picture for a moment whilst I explain the purpose of this mint (I was going to write "minty" but that just me think about Eastenders) blazer. After you've put on florals/peter pan collar/dungarees/other childhood-reminiscent items, you can evolve into a PROPER COST EFFECTIVE SALES DEDUCTION BUSINESS ADULT by slipping on a lightly colourful blazer. Now you are ready to make daisy chains AND do your tax report.

| dress - £22.99 |
And here we arrive at a different outfit. A simple black watch tartan style dress, still a bit '60s. In this you can probably happily reenact my favourite film,
Daisies. Of course at this point I feel a bit naked with such a nothing-y collar. Some good socks could probably make this dress look quite different. The power of socks is unimaginable.
After leaving New Look I passed Dorothy Perkins and saw this bag through the door and I rushed towards it like I rush desperately towards the fridge when I'm hungry. I think it's the shape more than anything but I just really like this bag. Below are a couple of images I scanned from the in-store booklet guide. It's so cute, wah.
