Primark has surprised me once again

Oh Primark you beauty, you’ve gone and surprised me once again. I tend to find Primark very hit and miss, sometimes I enter and just think to myself, what a load of rubbish, yet another time I find lots of pieces which could easily be confused for being much more expensive at a fraction of the price. The other day was one of the better days. 

On a trip to Harrogate during my day off, I managed to find an empty well-stocked Primark (shock horror!). As I work full-time, I only ever usually get to experience Primark on a Saturday, which for those who haven’t experienced it, it is something which should be avoided at all cost! So this was a very pleasant experience compared to usual. 


I am in love with this sheer black, fringed cover up, at only £7 it’s an absolute bargain, and in my opinion looks just like something you’d find in Topshop. I seem to have obtained quite the obsession with fringing lately, with 3 fringed pieces this month! 
 
This turquoise stone necklace, also fringed (see what I mean), was only £3, at that price you can’t say no! It hangs at just the right height, and I’ve been looking for a longer, statement necklace for a while, so this is perfect. 



I went on a slight sunglasses spree, but at £1.50 each it’s hard to resist! It’s pretty clear that I have a love of tortoise shell! P.s. the middle pair's my favourite!

Primark you are once again firmly back in my good books!

My H&M wardrobe update for Spring

 Spring  
n.  
  
1. A source, origin, or beginning.       
2. a. The season of the year, occurring between winter and summer, 
during which the weather becomes warmer and plants revive.

b. A time of growth and renewal.           
3. The earliest or freshest time of something





Spring’s arrival makes the world seem much more appealing, and fresh starts suddenly seem possible. Mornings are brighter, bluebells and daffodils are in full bloom and the sun is still shining at 7pm. 

All of this means that my wardrobe is in desperate need of a new lease of life...



boyfriend jeans - £19.99 h&m
I’ve been after a pair of boyfriend jeans, and found the perfect pair in H&M for £19.99 (with £10 discount on denim). I don’t own jeans so this was something completely different to what I’d usually wear. 
Although my sister says they look like my Dad’s jeans and they do nothing for my backside, I love them! Ultra comfy and relaxed, what’s not to like?


mint green trousers - £10 (sale) h&m
I found these mint green tailored trousers on the sale rail for £10. These will be perfect for work in spring with the cuffs rolled up and sandals.


cream lace pencil skirt - £1.25 (sale) h&m

Cream lace pencil skirt £1.25 (originally £30, down to £5, but with a yellow stain on it, now removed with the help of Vanish)) Best bargain ever! Is excellent quality, with a cream lining and is the most amazing fit as well.

new icons rings - £3.99, divided rings - £2.99 both h&m
These rings haven't left my fingers since I bought them, the divided ones started to go bronze quite quickly though.



Quite impressed with H&M lately, a lot of their pieces are hit and miss, but there are some good quality pieces at affordable prices, especially in the more 'grown up' section.
