Okay, so today I did a bit of a shopping in the post-Christmas battlefield that we all know as the January sales. Hell on fucking earth and also a massive disappointment. I'd mooched here and there but most of it was either A) crap or B) not a size XL (soz for having an arse River Island). So, down on my luck with no new garms to fill my joy and happiness I was drawn to the one place that always seems to have SOMETHING for everybody. Yep, I'm talking about Primarni or, as it's commonly and offically called - PRIMARK! Yay for cheap clothes!
Now, in all seriousness I actually like Primark alot. As I say it has something for everyone, it's cheap and yes sometimes the clothes look cheap but it's all about finding the right stuff for you and unsurprisingly, I did!
Acid Wash Black Skinny Jeans
From - Primark
Price - £15.00
I absolutely LOVE acid wash denim. Over the last year it's really took off in denim and become a must-have for many trend setters and when I saw these I had to have them. The great thing about dark jeans in general is that they'll go well with almost anything. I'd pair these with a pair of distressed military boots and cool T-Shirt (like the ones below). Trendy, classic, simple.
Grey Long Sleeved Top
From - Primark
Price - £6.00
I mostly bought this for the skull design and the beautiful over-dyed wash it enables. I have got many long sleeved T-shirts so I thought I may aswell for the price. Goes well with a pair of regular jeans and Converse/Vans.
Magenta Over-Dyed T-Shirt
From - Primark
Price - £8.00
Again, I simply bought this for the skull design and the finish. Beautiful colour and quite similar to something that's easily found in your more expensive high street stores such as All Saints, River Island etc. Applied with a pair of skinnys, a leather jacket and some military boots, you're good to go.
Grey Studded Denim Shopper
From - Primark
Price - £3.00
Saw this by the tills hidden behind some Primark branded shoppers. I like using shopper bags in the summer and thought this would be perfect for me and if all else fails it co-ordinates with the rest of my purchases. Quite impressed with this for a Primark purchase and can't really argue with the price!
Skull Ear Stud
From - Topman
Price - £2.50
RRP - £8.00
Okay so I didn't purchase this from Primark, however I did buy it today and it goes with the theme of the post so take it or leave it! Was on sale in Topman and there was 2 in the packet so me and my boyfriend now have one each. Awwwh!
So all in all I'm quite happy with the purchases today and I can stick two fingers up to the January sales as I have some new gear to keep me happy for...24 hours? But either way I have some excellent choices there to co-ordinate with most things I own. Happy days!
So a bit of advice here though guys, if you're really stuck for something simple that you want to look amazing with those pairs of shoes you just spent X amount of money and you're dreading the price tags of the major high street stores then just check Primark out. It may have what you're looking for...the truth is out there *cue X-Files theme tune*
Until next time guys!
