Exploring ASOS

I may be about to make my first purchase from ASOS (well, aside from some polka dot flip flops and a cliched skull-print scarf circa 2005). It's rather annoying that the spotting of this blouse took place approximately 0.35 seconds after deciding that I was going to halt all fashion-related purchases for the time being to aid the procurement of a Samsung netbook. I thought to myself, should I really even be here, when I am emphatically NOT buying any new clothes for at least a few weeks? But I reasoned that I've never been taken with anything on ASOS enough to buy it (though the odd thing does take my fancy now and again), so I was safe. I didn't bargain on this pretty peach double-breasted blouse.

It's in my colour of the season and ripe for pairing with a nude palette a la Christopher Kane S/S09, or maybe sleek and shiny black.

I browsed on a bit further to see if I could find anything else covetable; predictably, most of these came from the accessories departments or the designer collections (which I tried to exclude for the most part, because that seemed like cheating).

Hmm, slightly regretting my further foraging, because as well as the blouse I want the shoes and bag now, too. Oops.

EDIT: Can't decide now whether I like this blouse, or actually think it's gross. Either way, I'm really holding up on the not buying any new clothes - it's been a couple of days now! I'm much more excited about making a visit to Comet this afternoon to futher investigate the purchasing of the netbook! (I'm a computer geek, and I just don't care.)
