Dress: Cheap clothing shop in town (where everything costs a fiver!)

A couple of weekends ago I had a long overdue catch-up scheduled with my Spain partner in crime, Ellie. We had a potter about the shops in central Bristol and paid a visit to one we often browse in (but at the same time, equally as often overlook) where the stock is hit or miss but it’s worth a browse because the everything is priced at £5.
This time we struck gold. Ellie found a gorgeous top and I picked up this dress…which I then purchased again last Thursday in another colour (darker green and pink) when I was shopping with Mum. It’s one of those finds that so rarely happens, it’s not often I buy the same item twice but I’m pretty glad I did.
I wore this outfit Wednesday afternoon when the boy (I should probably start calling him by his name) came over to chill out for a bit. I teamed it with these wedge trainers that I had as part of my Zalando GmbH music challenge parcel. I will be wearing these to death I think, so comfy and practical and one of the only “high” shoes my foot will tolerate.
Busy weekend ahead for me. I’m at work all day today (yes, I know most people work all day every day) and then again for three hours tomorrow morning as it’s my turn on the Saturday rota. After that I have a leg wax booked, lunch scheduled with Best Friend alongside a visit to my Grandad and then I’m off up to Ellie’s parents’ farm for a family Birthday BBQ extravaganza.
Sunday I shall head from the farm to see the boy, stay there until Monday and then come home, pack and crash out ready to fly out to Spain Tuesday evening. I’m so ready for this holiday, I’m glad I’m busy in the run-up as it means I’ll appreciate the relaxation all the more.
What’s in store for you this weekend?
Are you someone who buys the same item of clothing in multiple colours? Does your town have one of those nameless, cheap and random clothes shops?

greetings from hong kong
peace.
That printed dress is adorable, looks quite comfy with the shoes as well! 🙂 /Madison
That dress was a real bargain! It looks lovely. I like the colour, the print and the bow at the waist. Enjoy your busy weekend and best wishes for a pleasant trip to Spain. For myself I’ll probably feel angst that I can’t be two places at once on Monday. I have an obligation Monday evening but at the same time there will be an attempt to break a Guinness world record for people in their underwear on National Underwear Day Aug 5, 2013 5-7PM Times Square Broadway between 46th+47th New York City). Why do things have to be scheduled at the same time?
Have a wonderful weekend and a wonderful trip to Spain.

that dress is such a lovely colour! I don’t recall ever buying anything in multiple colour, except vest tops x
Freddo faces!!I have never seen those before! Definitely going to have to hunt those down while gandering round the shops on my next trip!
There are so many of those random shops in Manchester, they’re great for a bargain, awful when people ask where they’re from! ‘ummm, that place near so and so, round the corner from so and so’ haha! xx
I think it’s called Utopia 🙂
Can’t wait ’til Spain!!!
