Yay? Nay?

Lets not complicate things. Croppy boxy tops tops from Primark - yay or nay?

And also, two gorgeous maxi dresses from peacocks [pictured BELOW]. LOVE. Both of them were lovely on. I wish I could have got them but the problem with these patterned maxi's is that they are so...identifyable (is that a word?!) that you can't wear them all the time. If you wore one of these more than twice it would look like you were wearing it all the time whereas (IMO) you can wear a black dress everyday if you wanted to and switch out accessories/shoes and it would be like 10 different outfits,

If I had the money and the figure I would probably be a complete sheep when it comes to clothes but strangely being bigger and poorer makes my wardrobe even more exciting and loved because everything I own has been such a challenge and even if it was 50p it is valued.

It's a fulltime job getting ready in the morning!!!

Don't trip over the Gap!

Me in the fitting room in Gap. It's weird being there as a regular shopper. And it's weird not knowing what's going to be in the store. No money + no time = just a few try-on's in the fits for kicks :)

[ABOVE PIC] Floral maxi; not great on me but (it will become evident) I really want a maxi dress/skirt and I've decided the best way about it is to just try on everything and anything.


[BELOW PIC] With that being said I gamely picked this maxi off the rail even though it looked likea giant tent....and lo and behold it also looked like a giant tent on me too.

And saving the best til last [BELOW PIC]:

I love it! The blazer is navy with a navy and red polka dot sleeve lining and the skirt is a....I don't know what colour; creamy, greyey, beigey, stoney colour in a maxi style with an elasticated drawstring waist (which is much cooler than it sounds!!). The black top is actually my slip that I just tucked into the skirt. But I think the whole outfit was pretty cool and budget aside I would have totally brought it.

Oh well. I'm sad I couldn't get it but impressed with my willpower :)
