Primark Haul

Just a quick haul from the other night.

Rache and I had gone to Meadowhall for a Simply Be shop and popped into Primark for a few bits.

I needed some new shoes since mine had been all danced out and were breaking.

These animal print pumps were a clear winner, I know they fit well and last 2 months or so, worth it for under a tenner.

I picked up this flower crown as it was only 2 quid and well why not?

That makes my flower crown tally a grand total of 4 now and growing!

I was unsure about these cat ear sunnies, but after trying them on and getting the nod of approval from Rach, they were promptly thrown into my basket. 

Again another 2 quid bargain. 

I then got all the frilly socks I could lay my hands on.

I did manage to get something from Simply Be though...

These are what I nabbed from the Simply Be store with a cool 20% off. 

Gorgeous tan Chelsea boots. Ready for autumn days!

Have you got anything good recently?

Wild Cats - FATshion Challange

A little while ago Laura, Rachel and I went on a lady date to Meadowhall for a catch up, shopping, and a mid week pick me up.

As always we hit the ol' Primarny store for our fix of clothing which wont fit us, but ... we struck luck!

Rachel picked up this lush leopard print skirt which we all ooh'd and aah's about, but only she tried it on. I thought for sure it would be too small for me. But seeing it on her, and how roomy it was, we decided she should go a size smaller and I could have one and so could Laura ... And what happens when 3 bloggers have the same item of clothing?! A Blogger Fatshion Challenge/Collaboration.

  

What I Wore: Skirt - Primark
Top - New Look Inspire
Belt - Primark
Shoes - Primark
Cardigan - Primark

Bit of a Primark overload, but hey, I cant pass up a bargain!

I decided to go for a normal casual look for me and wore it with a cardigan and belt (as per usual). I'm sure the other ladies will rock their skirts a bit more gracefully than me! But you know me, I love to keep it simple, casual, and sometimes grunge it up a bit.

I tried to keep my face simple too and just have a bold lip colour.
I used MUA Undressed Me Too pallet on my eyes, and Sleek blush in Sahara and Flamingo.

On my lips is Primark lip stain pen, with MUA Lip Boom ontop.

I do so love this skirt, I know it would look good dressed up, or down.
I love how the colours mash together!

Hair bow is handmade, as is my new fave necklace. Made from an old bow and a broken ear ring (made from a button and brooch).

Pop on over to Rachel's blog and Laura's blog to see how they styled this skirt.

Shopping with ladies

PIC HEAVY

Well I am a bit behind in posting since I have been quite busy over the last week, but I am back to normal posting again.
A few weekends ago I went out with Laura, Rachel and new friend Lisa.

What I Wore:
Striped Boobtube - Primark
Polka Dot skirt - H&M
Cardigan - Primark
Leggings - Primark
Belt - Dorithy Perkins
Pumps - Primark
Polka dot headband - Primark

We met in Meadowhall and hopped over to the Yours clothing store which had just opened. There was actually quite a big variety of clothing available, and most sizes were present.

The shop is lovely, and the changing rooms are decorated awesomely. 

I took in a few dresses to try on.

First this flora floaty dress. It had pockets sort of in the fold of the dress, very cleverly hidden.

This dress was actually a UK size 30. And it it was a bit of a hassle to get over my boobs. 

This cute polka dot dress/tunic was the next one I tried. I like the dress it self, but I'm not the biggest fan of the big bow on the neck line.

I took a 24 as I like to size up for my boobs and it was VERY tight fitting. In fact, it felt like it was a Primark size 20. Which is very disappointing as I have other Yours dresses in 24's and they're very forgiving and baggy on me. It's funny how even though they're a plus size clothing store, they still have ill fitting dresses. 

See how clinging it is, admittedly I was pushing my belly out for the picture, but you get the point of my argument a bit easier with seeing how badly it fit.

And the last one was this butterfly print dress/tunic. This one was in a 26, and was MUCH more forgiving than the previous dress. It was quite floaty, not my usual style, but I could see myself with this dress, outside on a pub balcony, drinking cocktails with the girls, kinda vibe. Something that can be casual or more dressy with a change of shoes.

We then went to New Look, and almost panicked when we went up the stairs to find no Inspire section.

Luckily, it had not been removed, merely moved to the bottom of the store.

The changing rooms were full so Laura and I paired up.

We tried these adorable Magenta Polka Dot skinny jeans, they were alright, but not enough space in the gusset area to contain our fat bellies. 

I saw this animal print hoodie and had reservations since I find it so hard to find hoodies that close over my massive mounds on my chest, but this one fit and zipped up ALL the way, and had cute ears on the top of the hood.

I also spotted 2 gorgeous Leather Biker Jackets, only managed to get a pic of one of them, this Waterfall Biker Jacket, which again, zipped up all the way over my boobs. This jacket was a 24, I'd proably get a 26 for that extra bit of length and space for cardigans and such in winter.

This is the other jacket, again, I tried a 24, and it fit fine. 

Its just a plain Collared Biker Jacket. 

Hoping I get a job soon so I can purchase both those jackets. I have been lusting over them ever since I saw them. And considering I was going to purchase this biker jacket from ASOS, I reckon spending less the money for twice the items is a bargain

We popped over to H&M aswell. I tried on a green Sheer top, advertised as a 26 ... clearly NOT a 26 though.

In Primark I just got a few tops, and a pair of pumps, and whilst in the MASSIVE queue saw this comedy glasses. They were something like a quid, or a quid, and 50p. Very silly things.

I only stayed for a few hours as my mom was ferrying my about and she was still doing shopping, so we went over to ASDA and I picked out 2 bra's for £14.
BARGAIN & a half I'd say!

That's all for my ladydate outing, hopefully more to come in the future!

Ciao for now bellas!
