Primark haul - Sweater season


Hi Guys!

It is so cold these days bbbbbrrrrr so I've stocked up on some new jumpers to keep me snuggly and warm.

I've only become into wearing jumpers since last year. Previous to that I just felt, honestly, too chunky to be wearing jumpers. I'm bulky enough and I didn't see the point of adding on more bulk.

But then last year I just....I dunno....accepted my bulk and welcomed jumpers into my life! And this year, with the addition of having to actually travel to work beyond 10 minutes I actually need the extra layers for practical reasons (I can be practical at times!).

Everything is from Primark. 

[£14]
This chunky jumper is a mix off creams and greys. It fits quite boxy but is by no means cropped. It gives off quite a boyfriend vibe with the wide contrast neck line. Absolutely love it. It does get a bit fluff central and leaves my office chair and  black skinnies slightly fluffy but nothing I can't live with. One thing to note is that the washing instructions says to cool wash it....which may or may not matter to you. 

[£14]

Leopard print. Nuff said.

This feels like heaven. It is so soft and fluffy. It is not as thick as the previous jumper, and it isn't very flattering but it was too cute to not buy. 

[£10]

This is the typical fluffy jumper that was all the rage since last A/W. TBH I am going to return this because the colour looks absolutely hideous on me. I look like a fluffy washed out pig. They do sell this in black but my size is never in stock. I will persevere cos I'm dedicated innit. 
[£6]

I know. I know what you are thinking.

Double chin. Triple chin. Roll neck. Really?

Yes really. As I mentioned previously, sometimes I can be practical.

I've been sick a lot since starting my new job (Hello public transport germs!) and sometimes you gotta keep, not just the chest region warm but also the neck.

This is a wardrobe essential and I shall be busting it out and probably layering it under another jumper when it is snowing and shizz. I'll be in so many layers and scarves that noone will be noticing my chins. And to be fair, my chins are there with or without the rollneck anyway.

(Also note, if you have less chins than me, this would look very stylish and it is only £6!)
[£14]

Neon yellow jumper.

Goodbye comfort zone!

I love this. It is chunky and slightly boxy. I could have gone a size smaller but the oversized look really suits the style and colour. It is neon yellow for god's sake. I took, "go big, or go home" quite literally.

This isn't everyone's cup of tea (no shit sherlock) but hey, if it garners too much hated I can always wear it around Penny Palace. Ain't no one gonna stop this star from shining!

OMG this jumper just makes me all happy and weird.

The only downside is styling it is tough. Pretty limited with which outwear and accessories I can wear it with.
But I don't mind a  challenge. 


[£14]

This is the jumper I am wearing in the first photo.

I love this jumper. This is my favourite one.

It is oversized, long (more than covers my bum) and it has slightly batwing thing going on and the sleeves are bracelet length (my absolute fav sleeve length - cos I'm the sort of person who has a sleeve length favourite).

The neutral beige is just sexy. Yes, beige is sexy. 

And I saved the best til last!

Oh come on. Just cos I've purchased a few non-black items doesn't mean I've gone bat shit cray.

But seriously, if you want a pastel unicorn rainbow jumper, go to Primark. The jumper feels like clouds.



Hope you have enjoyed my sweater haul :)
Are you guys all warm and snuggly?
Keep healthy xoxo

Bringing Penny back

Hi Guys,

It's Sunday so despite the sling situation I thought I would stick up a few 'normal' posts; I don't want to get out of the swing of things again.

My days have been pretty lame as you could imagine.

Something (that I find) exciting is that a few girls at work went out and brought the Barry M Instant Nail effect nail paint that I showcased the other day with my yellow base.

I changed to a grey (Barry M) base that was much nicer - AY did them for me, she also did her's grey and crackle and loves it :)




And then my friend R has a red base:



Another friend N had a hot pink base but no pic I'm afraid. I guess this 'look' is a marmite thing - either love it or hate it. I have a feeling a lot more people in my building will have this but I'm happy to share the love :)

Friday was a nice day. First day at work in the sling but I was just training so didn't need two arms! At lunchtime we had lunch with the trainee's and it was really nice. It's a long training period so the bonding is important I think.

I ate this:



I picked it off the menu simply because it was the only main meal I could eat with my hand. But my plan was foiled when they put a burger as big as my head in front of me. My manager had to end up cutting the burger into half for me :S It was very yummy though. And the 'fat chips' were amazing! Bloody expensive though.

Yesterday I went into work (Saturday job) - I didn't know my shift had changed so turned up for my 9:30am shift (to finish at 18:30) only to find out I was doing a 10:30-19:30, so I ended up doing a 9:30-19:30!!!

Very tiring- I didn't get home til 21:00 and that was me getting the tube (bus very jolty = painful for my arm). And because of my arm I was even more tired. It's very physically exhausting to have to hold your body a certain way. And the weight of my arm was giving me neck achne, shoulder ache and back ache :(

Luckily today is a day of nothingness. YAY PJ DAY! :) Happy Halloween - noone has rung my buzzer buts it's only 18:30 so I guess there is still time. The clocks also went back today. I woke up really early anyway so didn't make a difference to me.

Been watching a lot of tv no surprise. Caught up with last night's X Factor; loved Cher - I think I love her regardless; or more accurately, I hate her the least!!!. Not really supporting anyone but Cher is a much-watch for me. I take wee breaks during Mary and Trey-C's performances.

Watched the movie 4.3.2.1. Sexy! Bit depressing more than exciting (which I assume was the desired effect.) Recommended to lesbians/closet lesbians. Too girly for guys to find sexy. (But you can always fast forward to the naked bits...)

Also simultaneously wathcing two Selena Gomez 'movies' at the moment - "Princess Protection Program" and "Ramona and Beezus". Opinions to come later.

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend. A big big happy birthday to AY <3
