Back you go!

Hi Guys,

I did a massive asos and primark haul recently but I was so shocked when I got my credit card statement that I returned most of the stuff before I could take pics/blog.

Here's some random pics I did take:

[Above and below] Leather thong necklace from asos, Dogearred. 100 mixed beads - each bead representing a good wish. It was cute and I loved the concept but it just wasn't my style.

[Below: Primark stuffs]

Pleated cream and black chiffon maxi skirt. Soooo cool on so many levels. Soooo wrong on me on so many levels. Very sad to return this - it's so the look I want to be rocking this summer :(

Not sure what I was thinking when I put this stripey top in my shopping basket. Too clingy and...tacky!! I do love stripes do so hopefully I will get a (nice) striped tee soon.

The shoes!! £15 each and gorgeous. Typical me I got the black and the mink. There was also tan but they didn't have my colour otherwise I'd have have gotten that too.......and returned all 3. PAIN! Very uncomfortable for me. Sole too flat, would have been better with a platform sole I think.

I must be the only person who goes home with more money after a 'shopping' trip since I am always returning things!!

Asos Curve - 'Un-haul'

Hi Guys,

This is a belated post but thought I'd do it anyway...

On on 10th October I ordered a few things from Asos.com. I ordered 4 pair of boots, two dresses and a pair of denim shorts.

On 13th October there was an attempt to deliver it (supposedly) but anyway it ended up at my local Post Office. I went to pick it up on the 19th Oct and boy I was shocked at the size of the box (but what did I expect with 4 boot boxes in the order?!)

(This might sound boring but this is the 'funnest' part of the whole thing, the 'haul' itself is crap.)

I had picked up the box at lunchtime so took it back to work. At the end of my work day i excitedly opened up the box. At this point in time I'm neither impressed or unimpressed, just a bit 'whatever'.

Basically I can't take the box home because it's too big to walk with it, and too big to take it on the bus. So I try on all the boots at work (more on that in a bit) and I decide to take home the clothes to try on.

No pictures of clothes because frankly, FUGLY.
Dress 1 was a 'waterfall dress'; a dressy dress with giant frills down the front. Potentially gorgeous maybe, but it was waaaay too big for me, so much so that the shoulders were slipping off.

Dress 2 was a big big let down; a work dress. Totally not what I was expecting in terms of fabric or style. I remember wanting it when it first came out but at £40 I was not getting it. I brought it for £12 so it's a shame I hated it. Was umming and arring about keeping it but what was the point? And then i realised it was dry clean only so that was my mind made up!

And then the denim shorts. WHAT WAS I THINKING? Again, potentially would have been ok but they were massive. I could put them on without undping any fastenings. And then they fell straight down without any effort. - In regards to getting dress 1 and shorts in a smaller size; it wouldn't have worked.

Now the boots....all gorgeous. I basically got two styles, each in a black and a natural/tan/camel colour.

Boot 1 was a low ankle boot with a mid cone heel and a laced back. Basically too small :(

Boot 2 was a mid ankle boot, again with a mid heel. Basically a girly Chelsea boot.

So........out of that stuff, the only thing I kept was the black chelsea boot. And it's not love but it's a staple and it was a crazy bargain so I couldn't return it!

Better luck next time!!!

xoxo
