What I bought in Primark: 19/11/11

~ Shopping in Primark can be frantic for even the most seasoned of shoppers. I'll be bringing these posts to you as a friendly guide, showing you what's in stores and when, to help you next time you shop ~
Leopard print jumper - £14 (...ish...I bought this and the next item two weeks ago and can't remember the exact prices!)
This oversized jumper is comfy, cosy and unexpectedly soft.  The sleeves are elasticated at the wrists, which I love because it stops my arms feeling drafty and helps keep them up if I decide to roll up the sleeves.  It's also rather "inspired" by this jumper from Topshop, but at around £14 it's a much cheaper alternative.
Leopard print shirt - £10
The animal print continues with this sheer, oversized shirt.  I love the dipped hem at the back, making it suitable to wear with leggings and it comes with buttons on the elbows so you can roll up and button back the sleeves.  I had plans to wear this tucked in with skirts or shorts, but unfortunately it looks a bit bulky underneath.  I'll keep trying though!
Pleather skirt - £14
I finally got it!  Ok, ok so this technically isn't what I bought in Primark; after weeks of fruitless searching, the lovely Daisy Kate offered to check her local Primark for me and kindly sent this to me.  Thanks you!  It's sturdier than I expected, and the elasticated waist band is surprisingly comfy and doesn't cut me in half like I thought it would.  I love this skirt, if you spot it in your local you should definitely buy it!

Besides these goodies I've also stocked up on some basics this weekend.....40 denier black tights (£3), plain black gloves £1), undies (£3.50) and another hair tie like the one in my last post for a friend's stocking filler.

What have you been buying?

  5. @Kirsty - duh! Why didn't I think of that?! I'll have to try it asap x

    @Lexie Wolf - surprisingly I'm finding it harder to "work" than I imagined :S Ah well, I'll soldier on! x

    @claire - the skirt is definitely my new favourite thing. Soooo much better than the H&M one I bought (and returned) a few months ago x

    @Lowri - when I recived it I noticed it was from the "Denim" section and thought perhaps I just hadn't looked in the right place but nope, my Primark definitely didn't stock it! Hopefully it just means that for once I'll be the only person in my area wearing a specific item from Primark! x

    @Danielle Rose - really? You can't tell by looking at mine, but it's definitely elasticated in at the bottom of the sleeve...how strange! x
