Little Primark Haul

Hello lovelies. I'm really sorry for the lack of posts at the moment but I think Soph and I have been super busy recently. I'm back now though! I treated myself a little bit the other day, without spending big money so I thought i'd give you a little peak (: Where better to buy lots and not pay bucket loads? Yup, Primark. 

Cream Lace Blouse- £10
 
 I've had my eye on this every time I went into work so I thought it was about time to finally buy it. I must admit, it looked a lot better on the hanger (most things do) but I still really like it for £10. The detail is lovely, with the pleated bottom, lace panels, dimpled shoulders and cuffed wrists and think that it's a nice play on the simple white blouse. 

Grey Boyfriend Tee- £3.50

 I have so many plain t shirts but this is by far my favourite. I love anything that's boyfriend cut, as it's generally meant to look a couple of sizes bigger and more casual and those who know me know that I am fond of oversized clothes. This is such a bargain for £3.50, and I'll definitely be purchasing every other colour that they release!

Bow Tie Skirt- £6

 I was never a fan of skirts until recently, and now I have tons of maxi and midi's. However, I don't have many skater skirts so I thought it was time to add to my collection after spotting this at work. It also comes in blue with mini hearts and also a very vibrant flower pattern but I was drawn to this more than the others. 

Vine Backed Tights- £1

I actually can't believe these were only £1 (reduced from £3?) and they are my new favourite tights. The flower detail goes down the back of the leg and they loops around the ankles so they're not too in your face but still fun. I love the detail around the ankle so much that I'm tempted to get this tattooed there now!

Micket Mouse Tights- £3
 
 I've been wanting these for so long! I'm a big Disney fan and they've been in the shop for a couple of months but I eventually gave in and bought them. It's a good job too because they were the last pair! I know I won't be wearing them out very often but they'll be good for fancy dress and halloween time (: 

Tan Croc Bag- £3*

 *Bit of a cheat, but I actually got this from a charity shop which is why it was only £3! I think in the shop this would probably be around £12 considering the size. The detail is really nice on it and it also comes with a handy, long shoulder strap which is a must for me. It's massive inside too. 

So, there you go (: just a super quick post about my buys this week. Again, sorry about the lack of posts but I'll be keeping on top of them again now so don't worry, we haven't gone anywhere!

Casual Tuesday- Outfit Of The Day

Hey guys (: I know it's been a while since I did an outfit post but I actually look half okay today so I thought why not! 
It's still mightly, mightly cold outside (boo!) so I can't break out my dresses and short sleeves without covering up with masses of cardigans and coats so you'll just have to bear with us whilst it's still chilly. 


Sometimes I find it really difficult to look casual, yet still relatively stylish, as most of the time I just feel like a massive tramp. I think the trick is to know how to acessorize, especially if you're just a jeans and t-shirt kinda girl. 
The tee trend at the moment seems to be the ones where the words 'GEEK' and 'DORK' and all that silliness, is 'adorned' across the front. I don't know about you, but I really don't like it. I much prefer my little, white, bike t shirt (Topshop, £20) Unfortunately, Topshop don't sell this anymore but here are a pick of my favourite alternatives. 

Grey 'Twin Peaks' T Shirt (Topshop £22)/ Green Bird Print T Shirt (River Island £15)/ Black Hand of Fatima T Shirt (New Look (£7.99)



SHOES





My black ankle boots are from New look here (they also come in khaki). They're only avaliable in the wide fit section but that just means they're that little bit more comfortable for your feet! I adore the paisley detail in the cuff and they're a bargain at £19.99 (: 

ACCESSORIES 



Aquamarine and white make a great pair, which is why i've chosen these accessories to wear with my simple t shirt and jeans. The earrings are from Primark (part of a set of 12 for £2.50) which Sophie reviewed in this post here. The ring is actually from Greece, and if you're planning a trip this year then definitely keep an eye out for stuff like this, it's everywhere and, most of the time, it's quite affordable. If not, have a mooch around your local Primark and River Island as it's a popular colour at the moment.

EVERYTHING ELSE 


 

 It's far to cold to be going out in just a t shirt, so don't forget your big, chunky cardigan. Mine is actually Sophie's (which I stole, sorry!) But I adore it so much, it's so warm and I love anything that's oversized so this does just the trick. 
My leather bag is years and years old so it's looking a little battered, but it was from Topshop and it was in the sale for £20. Bargain. 
 
Till next time!
