Recent fashion purchases round up

I've always meant to do posts like these more regularly but I don't always get the time or money to go shopping lol... Anyway, here's a small round up of a few purchases I've made over the past few weeks and months!

Primark:

I picked up this majestic unicorn long sleeved top and pretty minty pastel 'Tokyo' jumper recently.

I think they were both £8 each, a good price for a statement top and jumper. 

I also got these acessories over the past few months. I adore the strawberry pastel feel snood! Perfect for throwing on over a jumper on slightly cooler days! I also needed some new sunglasses but couldn't decide between colours so I ended up getting both as they were only £1 each!!  I'm really loving all the flowery hair accessories they have in Primark right now too. I got this lovely peachy rose hair band, a cream rose 'top knot' bun hair band and a lovely corsage slide that doubles up as a pin too. Would look lovely pinned on a cardigan or blazer ^^

The last little bit I picked up from Primark was this glitter shadow palette. They're more like gels than eye shadows though. I'm looking forward to experimenting with them as under eye glitter is a big catwalk trend as of recently as well as glittery eye lids!

I purchased some Solo HD Beats headphones in light blue two weeks ago. I have to say I have no regrets, the quality is amazing and they're extremely comfortable! I've never gotton on great with headphones but these ones are a pleasure to use! Plus they're designed to use with iPhone (I have a pink 5c) which means I'm still free to answer calls and skip through music at my leisure when I'm out and about. They easily extend where needed without looking messy at all plus (not pictured) they come with a small soft case to store them in. Ideal for me as my bag is constantly full of rubbish! 

I picked up these last two items from Camden Market last week so they weren't expensive and are really cute additions to my wardrobe. The watch is such a sweet design and matches all my pastel, girly themed stuff perfectly. Also picked up some glitter jelly shoes, a big trend again this summer. I'm going to Cornwall in July so these will be ideal for just chilling in around town and the beach :3

Little Primark shop & co-ord

At the weekend I went into town to get some new books and thought I'd have a quick look in Primark (despite it being a busy Saturday) in case they had any blouses suitable for my upcoming first ever lolita co-ord. ended up getting a few totally different but lovely finds. I try not to buy too much clothing as I'm at work full time (40 hours minimum) so I don't get much time to wear non uniform or cycling clothes.. But these really stood out to me, especially price wise :3 

£8

This dress is a bit more green than pictured here which I think will go well with my bright red hair. I'll be wearing this to a big birthday party next weekend most likely.

The material is a bit thin and builds up static easily but I should be alright if I wear a slip underneath.
There is a little tightness around the chest area but I'm putting that down mainly to me being big busted, I can't help it!

Otherwise this dress is a beautiful fit and hangs nicely on my frame. The pattern is very pretty and gives off that typical vintage feel that is so popular now.

£5

Next up is this cute 'tattoo' print shirt. It's slightly cropped which is a bit frustrating for me with my large bust and long back but it looks good with a tube or skater skirt or maybe high waisted shorts.

My favourite part is the swallow print, I have a bit of a fixation with swallow & bird prints and accessories so my attention was grabbed by this shirt straight away!

£5

 




















Here's another 'tattoo' (what it said on the receipt lol) print shirt. In gorgeous pastel pink & lilac. This top is comfortable and flatter on my fluffy figure. I think it's my favourite of all the tops I got and I have plenty of stuff I can style this with.

Material is nice and soft and there weren't any mishaps with the stitching. (something I often discover on Primark clothing, have to be really careful to check everything I want before I buy it)

    

Next is another top I found sitting on it's lonesome and it happened to be in my size. When I took it to the till it turned out to be reduced too! From £5 -£2 which is even better. It's like I was fated to get this top haha!

I really like starry and galaxy prints and this just fits the bill for me. What makes it a little more special is the cityscape at the bottom of the shirt. I think this stops it from just looking like a bog standard starry print shirt. Gives it a bit more detail. I've already had a few compliments over this one as I've worn it already.

Again it's a good fitting shirt and doesn't make me feel like a fat sack of potatoes!

£5

This is the last top I bought (I'm such a sucker for cute t-shirts)

Delicious pastel colours and delicious ice cream! This will be a perfect top whenever we eventually get warmer weather.

It doesn't look like a great fit just sitting on the hanger but I can say it fits nicely on me without being frumpy :)

£5!!!!

Final item in my shop and my most favourite thing: short dungarees!! I'm a big girl and dungarees always tend to make me look worse or just pregnant >_>;; but these short ones I feel look a lot nicer and they were reduced to a bargain £5! Sweet.


























Below are some pics I took wearing the dungarees, not a super fashion concious co-ord but it's about what I think looks good on me right? Please bear with me as I learn how to take self portraits with me new camera!
