What spending ban? | Clothing Haul

Hello!
So after last months pay disappearing without me noticing, I decided this month I had to cut the spending and only buy the essentials- granted most of these are not what you would consider essentials but I had hardly any clothes for the summer and i'm hoping I can incorporate some of these into my Autumn/Winter wardrobe. So lets get started..





First up is this beautiful Kimono purchased from MissPap.co.uk. I was on the hunt for a Kimono that I loved that wouldn't break the bank seeing as there is not much of summer left, well here in Wales anyway. I saw this in the MissPap flash sale and couldn't say no, it was reduced to £5 so I ordered it in an instance. It looks so pretty teamed with a plain vest and jeans, although I wish I sized down as it came up a little big but it doesn't drown me so that's cool! 
Oops what an awful photo- sorry..
Next is this grey 'Boyfriend Tee', which is simply just an over-sized basic t-shirt. I don't have many basics so I thought i'd pick this up as it was only £3 in Primark and I actually love how it looks on so i'll definitely be going back for more.



Another item from Primark is these nude coloured T-Bar shoes, that took more than 3 trips to finally get the right shoe and right size! I say this as I didn't pick them up the first time as I didn't really need them but I regretted it a lot, so next I went in to find they had either of the two T-Bar styles in my size apart from a 6 so I thought i'd give them a go. It's safe to say I should of tried them on there and then but I didn't so those had to go back, I kept my eye out for either of the two styles in a size 5 and finally I got them- I love them!



I was in need of a new bag that wasn't quite as huge as my Zara shopper bag that I use to carry my files to and forth college, this little number caught my eye and I couldn't leave it! I think it looks a lot more expensive than £6 from Primark so it went straight in my basket. It's very different from the bags I own and isn't black, bonus!




Pretty boring but essential, just a pack of invisible socks to wear inside my shoes, obviously.





I've been on the hunt for a new pair of jeans for a while that fit really nicely so I can get a lot of wear out of them, after trying on so many styles and colours I saw these reduced from £24.99 to £10, what!? And they're Mom jeans so I couldn't not get them as I love the style and fit of these jeans. Despite from being a fraction of the price of the Topshop Mom jeans, these New Look ones fit perfectly!



This next item is from boohoo.com after returning a dress I thought I loved which looked nothing like it did online when it came, anyone else find that a lot? Boohoo is very hit and miss for me! This was a hit however as it fits really nicely and is a lovely shade of mint green(my favourite colour). So at only £6 this was mine!



Last but not least is not really clothing like the bag mentioned previously but you wear it so, you know! This Hamsa hand necklace is from an Instagram shop I've bought from previously(@leahmcmurdockk). Although I had a small issue of this being lost in the post and having to have another resent to replace it(that was no hassle at all as the owner of this small business is lovely and so efficient!) When I received it, I forgot about that as it's so well made and at only £3 you can't say no really?

And that's the run-down on my recent clothing purchases! A lot of these items are very summer orientated and surprise surprise once I bought them the suns playing hide and seek- great! I'm sure i'll get the odd few days use out of these and hopefully will next year too so its not all a loss. I also have a beauty haul coming very soon after I get back from my week in Plymouth. I'll still be posting on my blog but while i'm gone the posts will be travel related and scheduled so keep an eye out for those!

Until next time,

Amy X
