Bags and bags of new clothes

Hasn't it been a beautiful, sunny, cheerful sort of day? I dropped the car off at the valeting place this morning and walked into the city centre with the sun on my back and BBC podcasts on my mp3 player to keep me smiling. Perfect shopping weather.

so, do you think I a)stuck rigidly to the shopping list and bought only what I needed or b)dashed round like a giddy child trying on all the pretty dresses and wanting anything and everything floral?

You've guessed it, pretty frocks were the order of the day! First up, from Peacocks, this rather jazzy print number. It has pockets - I love a frock with pockets. I also got some jogging bottoms and a headband with a big fake flower on but they're not so interesting so no pics of them.




Then into the giant New Look. I was really quite impressed, I must say. There's still a lot of stuff in there that is made from horribly tatty fabric and I did have to put back a few things that I would definitely have bought had they been better made, but I'm super chuffed with what I did buy. Neither of these look particularly good on the hanger but they look and feel so much nicer on.






Also picked up some blue leggings (not pictured) and a pair of belts and some cute sparkly earrings:



Then who should ring me but my Dad? In town and wanted to take me out for lunch. Yes indeedy said I and trotted off for an absolutely delicious meal. And he gave me £50 to spend on my shopping, what an utter gem he is. Mum had already given me £50 so I was feeling rather flush. Into Primark and with money burning a hole in my purse and general Primark craziness raging through my veins, I proceeded to fling things merrily into my basket. Note to self - individual things in there are cheap but that doesn't mean you can fill up one of their giant baskets and expect it not to cost a lot!

I bought some skinny jeans, are you all impressed with me? Tis quite a big step! Didn't find their basic tshirts very inspiring in terms of colour choice or style (I want v neck, they were all round neck) but got a couple anyway.

Other purchases were:












The blue tights are actually a lovely shade of purple but for some reason it's not showing up on the photo.




A cricket jumper(ish)! Yay for the men's department.

Also is it just the Liverpool store or does everywhere else have rails and rails of cardigans in sizes 8 and 10 only? Very irritating.


I had to dash off to pick up the car by that point so didn't have any time to go and try on jeans properly in Dotty P (my preferred shop when it comes to jeans). There's one in the retail park by work though so I may go one evening this week. I did manage to squeeze in a little jewellery shopping and bought these two lovely bangles from Shared Earth:



And then finally into Accessorize (via Lush as I can't walk past the place without buying something) to buy these two whimsical but lovely necklaces:






So all in all, I think I did quite well! Looking forward to wearing all my lovely new stuff.
