My thoughts: Primark

Hello Beautiful!

Primark - just like Marmite, you either love it or hate it. I can firmly say that I love the brand and have done since it came back to Derby in 2008.

I have been shopping here since I was a young teenager as my pocket money could only stretch so far. However, even now when I know I could go to clothing stores such as Topshop or River Island, I always find myself back browsing in the crowded but familiar Primark.

I will admit it, not all of Primark's clothing is brilliant, and because the brand is so popular you do find that many people may have the same item of clothing as you. However, I don't think this should make you turn away from the brand. The quality that you get for the price you pay (usually) is brilliant! About 45% of my wardrobe consists of Primark clothing.

So here's a few ways in which I wear 'Primarni' clothing!

I adore this skirt! whenever I wear this two-toned skirt, I am instantly whisked away on a sun-filled holiday. For me, the skirt fits perfectly above my hips and isn't too tight when I decide to eat. The top, is also something I love - and for £4, it didn't burn a hole in my pocket. This white lacy crop top really goes with the skirt, and creates a casual/formal look.

Everyone I know at the moment loves swallows, and this charming top was a steal at £12! The sheer blouse with swallow detailing is perfect to formalises a pair of high waisted jeans or to team up with a black pencil skirt.

This is my most recent buy from the brand, however it is currently in the wash! I love pinafores at the moment, and this one (which cost me £12) is perfect for my more laid back, casual summer day look. I teamed this up with my white crop top, brown brogues and black bowler hat (not from Primark). 

When it comes to Primark, to find the best items you should look around. I usually take about an hour just looking around to see every item - yes, I'm obsessed! But it's my thing. 

I love Primark now, and I probably will forever. If you haven't tried shopping at Primark, I think you should! just shame that they're not online!

Fashion: My favourite pieces!

Hello Beautifuls!

I haven't done a fashion piece for a while, So I thought I'd share the items I am Loving this summer!

Dungarees

New Look - £24.99

Aaa piece that I am so excited to wear a pair of dungarees! If you want a piece that will remind you of a hazy summer day when you were a child, these will certainly do the trick! I decided to purchase a light pair of short dungarees with a slight acid wash because I think it will be easier to incorporate these into my wardrobe. I think I'll probably wear this with a plain white crop top (or any other plain crop top for that matter!) and maybe my white converse for a cute, laid back look. Or, a checked shirt with a cute pair of ankle boots. Of course, there are lots of different style of dungarees at the moment; floral, long, short, striped! So there is a variety of dungarees to play about with. 

Crop Tops

BooHoo.com - £8

I love crop tops, they are a huge 80s'/90's flashback and whenever I seem to wear one my mum always ends up telling me about how she used to wear them when she was my age. I love the fact that they can be worn on a night out or more casually depending how you wear them. As suggested above, I'm going to wear these with dungarees and I love teaming up my black long sleeved crop top with a bright blue midi skirt or wearing a crop top with a design on, such as the one above, with either a pair of disco pants or a pair of ripped jeans. 

Midi Skirts

DaisyStreet.co.uk - £12.99

Since it's becoming warmer (and my legs are finally turning a nice, brown shade!) I think its time to start wearing the skirts again. Midi skirts, like a crop top, can be warn either casually or more formally. I really like this skirt by DaisyStreet.co.uk because it is really bold and can be styled with a plain crop top (yes, I am obsessed with crop tops!) With the midi skirts, I think the bolder the better as it will make more of a statement and will become easier to style around!

Midi Dresses

OMG Fashion - £15

There really is an obsession with medium length skirts and dresses at the moment, which I am not complaining about as it shows the more 'classier' and 'sophisticated' side of women. The midi dress can be styled for both day and night purposes - which is really great because I love this style of dress. Like the style above, the dress can have quite a 'fun', 'pop arty' feel to it which makes it really fun and is definitely a statement piece. However, there is lots of variety of midi dresses like tie dye, plain with long sleeves or printed. I usually wear my tie-dye midi dresses with a pair of tan sandals and my vintage leather jacket. 

What is your favourite piece for this summer?
