So it's currently Friday and I've just finished college for the year, so I thought what better way to spend my afternoon than blogging? I've titled this post 'recent' purchases as a few of these things aren't necessarily that recent, just a few things I've collected that i'd like to show you guys. Also apologies in advance for these photos as I couldn't take ones on hangers due to the lighting and awful quality.
I'll start in order of purchasing as that's just how my mind likes to work. So first up is this(I think, or similar) lovely bright coloured top that I thought was perfect to inject a bit of colour into my mostly monochrome wardrobe. I purchased one similar from Boohoo but it wasn't the kind of 'bright' I was looking for, it was high-vis vest colour, no thank you! So instead I picked up this in New Look, it's slightly over-sized, sheer and airy! Perfect for the warmer months.
Next from New Look was this, not quite so 'injecting colour into my wardrobe' striped long sleeved top. Oops, slipped up a bit there! However I was going to purchase this basic anyway and then I saw it on the website for just £4 in the sale, so I definitely couldn't leave it! I'm really loving stripes at the moment, I definitely need more.
So I popped into Primark for a look and to be quite honest, I wasn't overly impressed. I find Primark is a bit hit and miss for me, but I did find something I thought- why not? It was this slightly sheer periwinkle or powder blue(I'm not sure which best describes it) vest. I'm not really one for vests but I needed some more lighter and coloured clothes for summer, or the few days that we have in Wales. This was again around £4 so I thought even if I wear it once, it's still good!
I hadn't been into H&M for a while and I saw people purchasing some really nice things from their so I had a quick browse. Now I love slouchy jumpers and this was described as loose knit, and I thought this would be good for those not so warmer summer days. It's in this lovely dusty pink shade, so I can get away with it right? I had been emailed a discount code so got this as a great bargain and is only £5 now!
Since I had a discount code my will power to save was lacking, so I checked out the jewelry. I'm usually one for statement necklaces but recently I just can't be bothered with the hassle to choose which to wear, so I wanted something plain and simple that I could wear on a daily basis. I found this necklace and it was described as sparkly, immediately I needed it! It was actually just what I was looking for, and was just £1.99 so I didn't even need the discount code, although I didn't give it a miss.
Last but not at all least, is a pair of shoes I purchased from Hidden Fashion, who I definitely recommend you check out as their clothing is such good value and high quality. I saw somebody talking about this site on Youtube and I had a nose and found the shoes I've been lusting after for a while. I haven't actually had the confidence to wear them out yet as they have a platformed heel and quite frankly we just haven't had the weather. I'm looking forward to pairing these with dresses and skirts on hotter days as in my opinion they'll go perfectly and look out in the not too distant future for a more in-depth post on these!
So I thought i'd wrap it up there. I haven't bought a huge amount as I said this is titled 'a few'. I'm hoping to next do a post including my recent beauty purchases so look out for that also! I hope you have a lovely weekend, until next time..
