Yesterday (Tuesday) I went shopping (woops) and only bought from Primark and two necklaces from Accessorize. I spent huge in Primark, which I kind of knew was going to happen but I ended up coming out of the store with two of their massive massive massive bags for everything! So I thought I'd share some of the stuff I got with you!
I am wearing some things now which I won't show but they are just an ivory wrap blouse and a pair of rose floral leggings which are featured in my most recent instagram post (see below).
I picked up this gorgeously soft tartan pyjama set for only £7 - I slept in it last night hence the extreme creases in it but oh my it is so effortlessly soft I am so glad I bought this bad boy because I was skeptical when I was in the store because honestly, I don't need more jammies but #yolo. (Plus they have gold thread in them)
The first two things that entered my basket were these pairs of trouser leggings (or treggings -hate that word ew). I haven't tried them on yet but they were really good value for money (£6 each) as they feel incredibly soft and warm and have this little quilted patch by front pockets which makes it look less cheap. So of course I got the gorgeous emerald green ones featured in the picture and I also picked up a black pair for the all important structured black legging look.
I saw this blouse below and fell in love. It's exactly what I had been looking for such a long time so I could finally get rid of this cotton one I'd been clinging onto for way too long! This sheer blouse is so perfect for all year round whether it be day time casual, for work or for a night out - IT IS PERFECT and was only £9.
This jumper was on one of those little sale racks that they have in there and I saw it and loved the cable knit pattern of it! I think ivory/cream cable knit jumpers are a staple item for autumn/winter and I desperately wanted to replace my two others which I didn't get much use out of this season. This jumper was originally £14 but was half price at £7 in the sale.
Below is a beautiful angora jumper which is so soft and snuggly and I cannot wait to wear this soon - it's gorgeous rose cutouts make it so different to anything else in my wardrobe. Bought for £7 as was half price - originally £14. (It's like a burnt rose colour but it doesn't pick up well with this camera - it's not bright red like it is shown!)
The last of my items in Primark include a blue pullover hoodie with a university varsity logo bang in the middle which I know is going to be super cosy as I have a similar one in a different colour which I purchased before. (Hoodie: £7).
As I said I bought a pair of rose floral leggings which are incredibly soft. I love printed/pattern leggings like these this season as you can easily lounge in them with a sweatshirt but you can also dress them up like I did today with my outfit and accompanied them with another blouse I also bought in Primark yesterday, a sheer ivory wrap blouse bought for £5 in half price sale. (I paid £6 for the leggings). I also paired the leggings and blouse with a new item in my wardrobe - my new navy double breasted jacket/blazer from H&M which I only paid an amazing £8 for!
Some other few essentials in Primark were a pair of plain black £3 leggings, a teasing comb (£1), exfoliating gloves (£1), makeup wipes (£1), hairbands (£1), black t-shirt bra (£4), 2 lace thongs (£1 each), two packs of 40 denier tights (£3 each) and a pack of 2 cosy socks (best socks ever for £2).
Carrying on with my H&M items, I bought two of these vests shown below - one in the colour shown and the other in a sky blue costing £3 each.
I also bought two long sleeved t-shirts similar to the picture here:
One is mustard yellow, the other in burgundy - these tops are so great for layering especially in winter and they are so soft too I love them! Paid only £3 each for those too. I also ordered a burgundy v-neck top which hangs so nicely - it's fitted in all the right places but doesn't hug you - it swings were it's meant to and it is so great for layering too I love this top so much it is soooooooo soft I LOVE IT and it cost £3 too!
One last item from H&M was a black knitted cardigan (never can have too many) - I haven't had a chance to wear it but I got such a good deal on it! I have a feeling the original price was somewhere between £24-£36 and it was put in the sale for £12 (at least 50% off anyway) and I got 25% off my most expensive item which this happened to be so I only paid £9 in the end!
From Accessorize I picked up this absolutely stunning necklace (see links below) for 50% in the sale but the cashier gave me a further 10% off as one of the stones is missing but I could hardly tell anyway but I adore this statement necklace soooo much. (http://uk.accessorize.com/view/product/uk_catalog/acc_15,acc_15.6/4822460800)
I also bought a similar necklace too for an extra pop of colour as the stones are coloured and as coloured acrylics - the chain is also a tad longer :)
LASTLY - what I got from ASOS - I won't show the playsuit because even though I love it I wish I would have ordered a size up as it doesn't sit right on my upper half (even though the short part of it is fairly long) plus it was three straps on each side (so 6 in total) but I think maybe two of them have fallen off but luckily I still have the tag on it so I will be returning it when I have a chance!
I will tell you about my other purchases: a floral swing dress from the brand Love, with black lace shoulder cutouts and sleeves (it's so cute and ditsy aha) which cost me £13:
I also bought this New Look plain black off the shoulder skater dress for a bargain of £9.99:
This Vero Moda lace swing dress looked so gorgeous I couldn't resist and when it arrived and I pulled it out the box it looked huge HUGE! And I tried it on and it is just a tad too long as it runs past my knees slightly but the thing I've found with jersey swing dresses is that they can easily been worn with skinny waist belts for a different look and that's what I love about this dress which cost a cheap £12.50.
And last but not least is not a clothing item but a bag from Pull and Bear which I ordered on asos.com. I did expect this bag to be a bit bigger as it is called a 'sports bag' but I used this as an overnight bag and it was the perfect size- I love the print (it reminds me of Katy Perry and I love her and I love tigers and I love bags and I love blue).
This is such a lengthy post so if you have read all of this then wow I love you, you're great. All of this stuff I have bought has been since my last paycheck which was just after Christmas so of course naturally I would hit the sales! *Disclaimer* If anyone thinks I'm trying to brag about any of this you're stupid I love watching hauls on Youtube etc and reading posts on people's blogs about them - all of the items I've mentioned here and probably will buy in the future, I have paid for with my own hard earned money that I earn through my job (and a bit of Christmas money) so no I am not bragging/spoilt blah blah blah.
ANYWAY thank you for reading this far! Tell me please if you like my writing style/the way I post - give me advice or tell me what you like by leaving comments below- THANKS SO MUCH XOXO
