The Monday Piece - The Fort Birmingham Blogger Challenge

This week's Monday Piece is on The Fort blogger challenge! Last weekend i popped over to The Fort shopping park just outside Birmingham for a blogger challenge where i was given £50 in vouchers to create an outfit. I'd not been before so checked out their website to see what stores they have - lots of my high street faves including H&M, Topshop, River Island and New Look. It's laid out like a big outdoor retail park, and has food places and coffee shops as well as high street clothes shops, so it's easy to spend the day their shopping and chilling!
I was determined to get a full outfit for £50 so started by looking at shoes, i found these boots in New Look for only £14 so thought they were a bargain and obviously fairly classic, so i snapped them up! I then spotted this chiffon split side tunic in River Island which i loved straight away as it's kind of asymmetric and the double layered fabric is a bit different - it was £30 which is reasonable though didn't leave me much left to get some trousers. So H&M came up with the goods with these extra thick legging type trousers, and they were only £5.99 bringing my outfit total to £49.99. I think i've done quite well, and it shows you can get a whole outfit for £50 so it's pretty cool! I'd recommend The Fort, it's easy to get to, has lots of shops, tasty places to eat - i had a Nando's and Costa in between shopping - so do check it out if you live in The Midlands or the surrounding area!

Also The Fort are currently running a competition where you can win £50 to spend there, click here here for full details - it's mega easy to enter, like one of the three outfits created by the bloggers on facebook, or retweet or favourite on twitter and that's it, you'll be in with a chance of winning :).
