Bits and bobs, clothes and shoes!!

So this is another round up of some bits I have bought recently. I know it seems like I spend an absolute fortune but I honestly dont, a  lot of my stuff is from cheap shops like Primark or H&M. 

First is a really cute dress I bought like a month ago from TKMAXX for £14.99. So far the weather hasn't really been bright enough for me to wear it that much but I have managed to wear it once. I changed it up a bit due to the weather and swapped the blue under dress for a black one and black leggings, then put on the little blue van style shoes. 

I love the lace and the shape, its almost a skater skirt so really flattering. 
Next a little grey crop tank top from H&M that was £1.99, so far I have worn this a few times. For work I paired it with high waisted trousers and a tube top as the sides are low cut. Also worn it out with shorts and with a maxi skirt. 

Here it is with the my pink maxi skirt. I like that this one is loose and not too cropped, only just shows the midriff.


 I love this top, its from Primark think it was about £4. I have worn it soo much since I bought it. I love how bright and colourful it is, also its a really nice shape on, not too tight or billowy.


So far my favourite look for this top was this one with my emerald green jersey pencil skirt. Got this from top shop last year, I really like it but like I've said my office isn't very smart so haven't worn it to work. Most of the time I wore this skirt with a bright yellow floaty top but then I saw a pic on Pinterest where a girl had a normal grunge T on with a pencil skirt and chunky cardy so thought I would try that.

That pic is also the reason I bought this next T shirt. It was like £2.50 from primark mens wear, I bought it in an xs and have taken the collar off. Think I am going to take a little more off the collar not sure need to take another look at it.


I like the colour and the pattern pocket, its a bit blown out in the pic but actually its a dark maroon. I know its mens wear but sometimes I like to customise stuff. 

Here are the shoes I mentioned above, also bought these from Primark £6. I love the colour, light blue denim effect. I would really like some real vans but at the minute our budget doesn't extend that far so I will settle for fake ones. 


These last two I bought from Primark in Guildford when we went though for a flying visit. I think I might have a look in the one up here for more of the plain vests, I really like the shape and length is nice for with leggings. Its almost short dress length which I like as it covers my bum hehe
extra long grey retro style vest

Love this pattern
I love the pattern on the black one, it was a fiver and the grey £2.50. The white pattern is raised and feels almost painted on, I am going to try wearing this like the sugar skull one with a pencil skirt not sure which one yet as I have a few coloured ones.


I also just bought this envelope style handbag from Peacocks, £7. I love this style of bag though it doesn't have a handle so I am thinking of buying some loops and clips to go on a gold handbag chain so I can put it on when I fancy it. Might also buy some extra loops for some other bags so I can use the one handle for a few bags.


As you can see I might buy quite a bit but its spread over a few weeks and with most of it under £20 doesn't exactly break the bank.

Let me know where you find good bargins and what you have picked up recently.
