I have decided to do a haul, detailing many of the things I purchased. I hope you find this helpful and may even see somethings that you like.
I will start with clothes first, as this was what I brought most of;
Blazer
One of my favourite bargains was a patterned blazer, I recently have become obsessed with the plain black and burgundy blazer's I already own, and as they go with everything,and I decided it was time to add to my collection. I stumbled upon this blazer at Sainsbury's in Reading, and I fell in love with it. It is such a pretty pattern of dark grey and black swirls with three- quarter length sleeves, and I thought it would look great with leggings a long black top and converse. Its one of those patterns that you can wear casually during the day, or dress up to wear in the evening. This was a bargain at £7 in the sale, and I am very happy with my find.
Topshop JumperI am becoming more and more obsessed with Topshop, over the weeks, even more so when they email me with tempting sales or new season items, so when I came across this beauty, I didn't hesitate to snap it up! This is a lovely chunky knit, perfect for throwing on, with leggings and boots and a patterned scarf. It has black sleeves and a cream pattern on the main part of the body. Its thick enough to be really cosy, but thin enough to put a coat on too. Something I look for in a jumper, especially as I hate to be too hot. This was in the Topshop tall range, but it would suit all body shapes and lengths. This again was a bargain at £8, in the sale, although I brought this a while back, I'm sure there are similar styles out there.
Zara Jumper
My hometown doesn't have a Zara, so when I stumbled upon one in Reading, I almost ran. Everything always looks so pretty and clean, and some of the patterns are amazing. Zara was packed with people, as there was a huge sale on, and I didn't know where to look first. After ages of looking, I came across a beautiful jumper (getting prepared for winter). This has plain black arms, and a leopard print sort of pattern with cream and black on the main body. Its very thick and comfy, usually I look for whether a jumper is itchy, as I cant stand that, and this was soft and cozy. this would look great with black jeans, or skirt in the winter, teamed with boots or converse. This was £9.99 reduced from £49.99, I couldn't believe my luck, what a bargain.Primark
Dress
I brought a cute little dress from the Reading primark, and its so adorable. I fell in love with the pattern and the colours. I have already worn this a few times, once with leggings and converse, and the other with cute little sandals. It is a really good length as it is not too short, and the small cap sleeves make it great for sunny weather. This can also be teamed with a jacket or hoodie, for when it gets a little colder. This was £8 and it comes in a variety of different patterns and colours. This is a must for any girl of any size.Shirt
This blue shirt, was one that my mum actually picked out for me, and I love it. Its a lovely pale blue cropped shirt with white polka dots, that buttons up the front. It works really well with my complexion, and the brightness in colour goes really well my dark hair and eyes. I teamed this up with a denim high waist flared skirt and tucked the shirt in. its great for all seasons and can even be put under jumpers, with the collars poking through. This was £5, and only comes in the one colour.Jersey top
Is it possible to be in love with an item of clothing? If you re saying no... you re lying. I've seen a few celebrities in these on Instagram, and thought how comfy they looked. This is a burgundy jersey top, in the American basketball T-shirt style. I use this when I am mooching around the house, having lazy non make-up days. It goes great with leggings, and its so over sized and baggy, its really comfy, perfect for when us ladies are having 'That' time of the month, and we want to be comfortable. This was £6 and comes in different colours, with a variety of slogans on, I picked this one, as I have matching converse, that I could throw on, if I ventured out.
High Neck topThis style of top is not in my comfort zone, as I have an issue with getting my arms out in public, however when I tried this on, it looked really nice and was very flattering. This is a silk style top, with a high neck that buttons at the back, which is also sleeveless. It is cream in colour and has vibrant coloured prints of birds and flowers etc. I have experimented with what I would wear it with, on a night out and I think it works really well tucked into a plain black midi skirt, or even a pencil skirt. This was my bargain of the weekend, and I found this for £2, how great is that?
Accessories
Bow clipI have been trying to find new things to do with my hair for ages, and I happened to be in Dorothy Perkins, when I found the cutest bow clip ever. Its a light pastel pink colour, with a silver clip, that is big enough to hold my hair, as I have a lot of thick hair, I need something sturdy. I have played around with some hairstyles and the picture below shows the one I like the most. This came in cream and black, and ranged from £2- £3, which is a really good price, if you re not sure you'll get on with using it.
Clutch bag
One of the things I wanted to buy, before I went back to University, was a new clutch bag, that wasn't too expensive. This was also from Dorothy Perkins, in the sale for £7 and I love it. Its black leather, with a row of silver studs, and it has two compartments when you open it up. The size is great, because when I go on a night out, I take a lot, purse, camera, makeup, keys, phone, little perfume bottle, and some of the shoes in a bag, so I needed a bag that had a lot of space. This is a classic black colour, with a simple design, which I could wear with pretty much all of my clothes.
Toy Story 2 DVD
I am trying to re build my Disney DVD collection, as many of them I only have on video, luckily a lot lately have been really good prices, so each week I buy 1 or 2 films, starting with my favourites. A few weeks ago I brought Toy Story, so when I saw the sequel I had to buy it. It is such a fun film, and just as good as the first one. This was from Sainsburys for £5, which is really good for a Disney film.
