retail therapy at its best

So yesterday, in the end I wasn’t needed at college (but will be at the end of the month) but as the weather was good and Mum and I had planned to shop after, we went on in anyway.

It was a success in terms of buying things I needed, Urban Outfitters sale was a gold mine yesterday and I ended up getting a skirt for £4.99 (instead of £30) and some [blank] jeans for £4.99 (instead of £60). I also got a sweet floral top in the New Look teen section for £10 and some bits and pieces for my Mum and a friend.

Outfits this week have been hit and miss,
mainly because I’ve been lazy and the weather has been so-so.
Tuesday I wore a dress I forgot I owned (woops, I’m so bad for doing that)

I think it was once Mum’s, bought for a holiday…possibly from Matalan.

Yesterday I opted for a cream and black dress, but failed to get a photo because I was rushing around,
and today I popped on my new skirt and top
(I could have done without the tights but I was too lazy to de-fuzz this morning)

The material is soft jersey with a denim effect, so comfortable and I’ll probably live in it from now on.

I can’t believe we’re almost at the end of another week,
I hope it’s been a good one
