OOTN: Christmas Night Out Take One

A quick post whilst pre drinking to show my outfit for tonight! It's the first of two work Christmas nights out and the only one where we don't have to get ready at the office. Naturally, I took this as an excuse to get dressed up!

Galaxy Print Skirt - £14.99 H&M
Peplum Top - £5.00 Primark

I'm going to be pairing this with my Chelsea style ankle boots and studded clutch bag (Primark).

Haul: Primark!

Yes, this is yet another Primark haul. But as I explained to my boyfriend whilst dragging him round today... you have to go there so often because their stock turnaround is so quick! If I didn't grab the stuff I liked straight away then it would just go. Seize the day! Ahem..

The boyf and I are going on holiday at the end of August so thought I would start early on getting cute bikinis :-) There wasn't much variation in the ones on offer in Primark. They were all really bright and I don't think they would suit my pale complexion, so I went for this baby blue offering with the hopes that the ruffles will enhance my boobs a bit! 

Top - £5
Bottoms - £3

 The belt on this dress has made it really small at the top so it looks a bit odd but I promise it is nice in reality. It has a dipped hem and I love the tropical pattern on it. 

£17

I ADORE this dress! You can't really tell but it has a huge bow on the neckline which is a cute addition to the dress. I love the print and they also do a couple of tops with the same print on it.

£10

 I bought this blazer for work as I felt now I'm full time I should probably spruce my work outfits up a little. Just plain, black and simple the way a blazer should be. I've never had one before and I'm not entirely certain I like it that much but needs must. 

£13

 This is actually from the men's section but I just had to have it. I love moustaches! 

£2

 Another skater-ish style dress to add to my ever increasing collection of dresses. I love the way it has a different patterned panels going down the sides of the dress. They're similar colours so they blend in well but are a nice addition. I'm hoping they will make me look that little bit more fabulous when I wear it. 

£13

 This is actually a man's jumper but I love Mr Potato Head! It was reduced to a fiver and the only one left in my size - fate? I think so.

£5

 Probably the most boring purchase I made! A simple, black purse. I hated the way my old one opened and the cards in certain slots slipped right into the depths of the folds - it was generally awful. 

£5

 A random purchase of a pair of socks. I'm not entirely sure what made me want to purchase these but I'm guessing it was the moustaches :) 

£1.50

The second of my hauls for you! I have yet another one to come as I have been a *little* naughty with my spending recently. I hope you enjoy looking at what I've been buying, I certainly enjoy seeing what other people have bought :-) 

Accidentally Large Primark Haul

Anyone that knows me will know how much I adore Primark. When I was growing up it was seen as a cheap store that sold crap clothes and if you wore anything from there, you tried not to mention it. Nowadays, I see Primark as an amazing place to shop - especially if you don't have a lot of spare cash. People still knock it and it still has quite a poor reputation but I love it. I always seem to find such nice clothes in there whenever I go and my wardrobe is teeming with beautiful pieces. 

Having not really done any shopping since I went to Birmingham for both mine and my boyfriends birthday last October, I decided it was about time to get some new clothes. And boy did I do just that. After I picked up the first three items, I knew it was going to be a big spend. Several people have been disgusted by the amount but quite frankly - I don't care. I work hard for my money and I intend to spend it however I want! 

I've lost the receipt but I'll try and remember roughly what the price of things were. I know I definitely did not spend more than £13 on any item.
