I work at Topshop in Manchester and worked the student nights on Tuesday and Wednesday. It was absolute madness, we had over 2, 500 people in 3 hours on Tuesday night and took £104, 000 which was amazing.
Doors opened at 7:00 and the students started queuing from 6:00. Now that is dedication for you. The queues snaked all the way round the Arndale centre. Students got 20% off, rather than the usual 10% all year round, so it was definately worth going to nab those crucial new season Topshop pieces. There were dj's for the night, and bottles of prettily hued vitamin water being given out. Loved the candy colours of the goody bags, mint green, coral (my lifelong obsession will never end for this sunshine shade) and yellow cloth bags, very handy for carting heavy files and books around i.e. my journalism law and public affairs textbooks, which resemble bricks.
I recently bought the Topshop floral 'skater' dress that Peaches Geldof was pictured wearing, and ditto the heart print tights. Although I'm not sure i'll be laddering them with as much gusto as Peaches.
And I'm already planning my next purchase- the leopard print faux-fur coat, which I have been giving backward glances to on the shop floor for a number of weeks, as I bend down to rescue a wayward skinny jean or lace camisole. But can I wait until my uniform is due?
The look at the moment amongst the scarily on-trend Topshop staff seems to be a uniform of black hotpants, with tights, patterned or otherwise and a ballet pump, or stacked platform heels for those more willing to suffer after an 8 hour shift. Bright pink lips also seem obligatory, in fact I might whip out my MAC St. Germain for my sunday shift.
