The High Street White Shirt Invasion

Ok, I promised you a High Street search of white shirts when I went into town earlier this week, and here it is. Apologies for the bad quality (iPod standard!) but I think it's very clear from the photos that they are in fact, white shirts :)

The three stores I picked out were: Topshop, H&M, Forever 21. I'd never been to Forever 21 before, despite hearing about it ALL the time from fashion enthusiasts and American celebs. It really does live up to the hype: cute hairbands from just over £1, colourful summerwear, lovely dresses, a wide range of pretty much anything a girl dreams about, and it's all super-affordable. I'd say I was more impressed with their prices than those at Primark! I found about 4 types of white shirt - one with floaty sleeves that didn't really count as sleeves, one with strange buttons, a short-sleeved one, and the one in the photo. All were under £20.

H&M was even cheaper and offered your standard staple shirt - if you're looking for a simple bargain, H&M is where it's at. Topshop's main white shirt was £45; it was obviously very nice and chic but I just wouldn't be prepared to pay that much. Even if I am wearing one every day! 

I think you can tell by my gushing that Forever 21's shirt was the winner in my eyes, and I am wearing it right now, and you'll notice from previous posts that I've been wearing it quite a lot! I'd say the High Street has lo-o-ots of lovely shirt offerings - and I say this quite a lot: come winter, spring, summer, autumn, it won't go out of style/stock. It just won't.
