A Week of Primark Outfits

08/08/2018

If you’re up to date with my latest posts, you’ll remember I wrote about my £50 Primark Challenge last week and that I would be sharing some outfit posts of what I managed to pick up!
It was also a good chance to talk about each piece, my thoughts on how they look on and how they wear. I’ve also been inspired by a recent video Samantha Maria posted where she looks back on pieces she’s picked up in a haul and whether she wasted her money – we’ve got a lot of content to look back on, so keep your eyes peeled for some posts along these lines and to check out her video here;

Denim Bardot Dress

This dress has major hanger appeal – I envisaged wearing this slightly on my shoulders so it was work appropriate and having it slightly more fitted. However, I needed to nip it in at the waist with a belt and ended up wearing it off one shoulder slightly as it just looked a bit weird as a standard bardot dress. The embroidery is lovely, the colour is gorgeous, the fabric is pretty decent for Primark and IT HAS POCKETS! I’ll wear this again, but think I want to get a tan brown belt to go with it.

Mustard Yellow Striped Cami

I bloody loved this cami, the colour is gorgeous and was perfect with my vintage Levi cut off shorts – at £2.50 you can’t really go wrong and this will definitely end up paying for itself.

White, black, pink and blue striped skirt

I didn’t realise until I shared this snap on Instagram that this is THE skirt to have from Primark and was quite pleased that it wasn’t an influenced purchase! It’s a lovely skirt, but my arse is slightly too big for the size 8 that I picked up which led to the buttons gaping slightly (gutted). It’s a very lightweight cotton so you definitely need some nude coloured thongs (I say thongs as you’ll 1000% get knicker line – but go for a standard knicker if that’s your jam). You also need to be quite careful with the buttons and getting out of the car – I stretched the bottom button hole and tore the fabric slightly.
Great for the ‘gram, but not massively practical, size up if you can’t try it on.

Black Slouchy Vest

I know the stand out piece of this outfit is the trouser/skirt combo (they’re like a trouser length skort? I tried to find a link to them but couldn’t find them on the website as I picked them up in the sale they had in store) but this black slouchy vest is the perfect staple for the summer, it’s lightweight, versatile and cooling for the unusual hot weather we’re having in the UK at the moment.

White stretch vest

I picked this up as a girl can never have too many white vest tops to wear in the summer (and under shirts when it gets chilly in the winter!) – a standard white vest that I paired with some tan coloured Jamie jeans from Topshop (not pictured) and this beautifully embroidered cotton cardigan from the New Look sale.

Love Island “Lay it on Factor 50 Thick” slogan tee

I’m not going to lie, I hate this picture of me, but I’d rather share an honest photo of what I actually look like than lie to you all and make out I look fabulous all the time. This is just a standard slogan that I got in a size large for those days when I don’t fancy leaving the flat, also for those of you that are big Love Island fans. Not much more to say on this one…

And there we have it! Just a few outfits that I’ve styled my latest Primark buys into. A little bit disappointed with the more trend led pieces, but I know I’ll get some wear out of everything!

    You say you hate that last photo of you but it’s honestly one of my favourite photos of you! You look so cute and a little goofy and it’s natural and adorable hehe. The mustard striped top looks real lovely with your skin tone and hair, mustards always something I’ve been dying to pull off but it just doesn’t fit! And it’s a huge shame the striped skirt is a tad too small but you’re still rocking it. I’d love to see posts about whether hauls have been a waste or not, I’d definitely have A LOT of items that did end up just sitting in my wardrobe unused…

      Ahh thanks lovely, strange how everyone can see pictures differently – everything looks different to the eye of the beholder! And I bloody love mustard everything – I’ve got some gradual tan moisturiser that I’m using at the moment so I can get away with it for longer – the Bali tan has long gone 😂 still gutted about the skirt, but it’s not a lot of money lost so I’ll be alright! ❤️❤️❤️

Thought I’d make another appearance on here sinc Thought I’d make another appearance on here since it’s been over a year since my last post, so here’s one from my Tiktok #sustainableootd #ootd #vintedfinds
Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise birthday outing last night, although I’m definitely feeling it today! Love you both loads ❤️❤️
So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve been working and saving away with this gorgeous man to make sure that we could buy a house and we’ve only gone and done it! We’re now in the process of fixing it up and getting our bedroom ready to move in to, so hope we can get in next week! I’m going to be sharing the whole process on our Tiktok account which you can follow @thealbonrenovation - the first post on there is just a video showing the whole house as it was when we bought it on Friday (it’s changed a lot since then!) - so give us a follow it you love a bit of home renovation! 🥳🥳 #firsttimebuyers #newhouse
When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
