Dress c/o Matalan, Tesco tights (which I shamefully discovered had a hole mid thigh whilst out and about), Georgia Rose boots c/o Sarenza.
Yesterday was one of those days that makes you think “this is what the weekends should be like, always”. With almost spring-like sunshine beaming down on us, Best.Friend. and I hopped in her car (she’s my personal driver, really) and headed down to Clarks Village in Somerset; about an hour away from us. I raved about this place a couple of weeks ago when my parents went, and I will continue to rave. Best.Friend. bought a beautiful dress in the Monsoon outlet at a crazy price to wear to a mutual friend’s wedding in May (I am yet to purchase my dress, but know what it will be!) and we both stocked up on undies in M&S (£5.75 for a matching set) and bras in Calvin Klein (3 for £16). The Cadbury shop is always a delight and we came away with chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate, and the surprise winner of the day was Claire’s Accessories where I got some much needed silver stud earrings for crazy cheap.
Other shops we looked in and enjoyed were Yumi which had amazing bargains if they had your size; they didn’t for me this time, and several places selling handbags. We had a cheap and tasty lunch in Subway and stopped off at a nearby Sainsburys to raid their bakery for a snack.
The evening was spent watching Saturday night TV before falling asleep shamefully early, and today I am hopefully seeing Ellie for one of our Chickpea buying missions with an added trip to Primark. I need to be restrained as I don’t get paid until Wednesday, but when shopping opportunities present themself, it’d be rude to refuse.
How’s your weekend going? Bought any bargains or done anything especially wonderful?

Love this dress the print is fab. Sounds like you really did have the perfect Saturday xoxo
Such a pretty dress, I love the pattern on it and the colours!
Gorgeous dress!
We went to the Clarks Village last summer, but Yumi didn’t have much in my size then. Mum bought me a lovely dress when she went though, so I guess it’s one of those places where you can be lucky or unlucky
