I apologize... I'm a snob

Hello, so... I have a confession to make. I used to hate primark. I used to envy people who would don gorgeous outfits... and when I asked where they had found them, they'd replied with primark. I used to go in a find nothing but tat in a heap on the floor and ridiculous queues.

Back in like, february? maybe, I remember I bought a blouse, it was black with a peterpan collar and bell sleeves I loved it. I wore it out the next day with some jeans and a jacket and noticed people keep staring, it wasn't until I sat down with my latte in Costa that I realised all of the buttons had popped open and I was on full show. Great. The cheap buttons wouldn't stay closed for five minutes, and the shirt was a size big for me, so it wasn't pulling anywhere!

So I went back to holding hatred for Primark. Working directly opposite to primark I used to stare at confusion at the girl I worked with who often would show me her major lunch time primark hauls with lots of goodies. I sometimes used to stroll in and try and find something but never could. I became a primark snob, I thought maybe my taste was just above primark stuff, pretty bizarre since I am the tightest person ever when it comes to money.

Well anyway, I went shopping with my younger sister on saturday and she wanted to venture into the primark in our new city. I was like in heaven, I could have filled my basket up, you know what's better than Primark prices? Primark's SALE PRICES. I bought two pairs of earings (£1 a pair!)a necklace (£2), a jumper (£3) and two pair of welly socks (£2 a pair) all for £11. I think I died on the spot. Not going to even joke.

The welly socks are just over the knee knitted socks but look super cute with my country chic wellies (blog post to follow).
The jumper was half price at £3 and is going to look good with some many things. It's a striped sweater style, short and long sleeved with the CUTEST faux suede elbow patches. I wore it today with Black leggings a white long vest, and my vans. Very casual but put together at the same time.

I only have the earrings to show right now, in my opinion they are in the same league as Butler & Wilson. They have so much sparkle and I can't wait to get dressed up and
wear them! I still cannot believe I paid a pound for them. :)

And these are very art deco... I'll probably wear them more often than just night's out.

And finally my £2 necklace, the photo really doesn't do it justice, makes it look kinda cheap, but it sits beautifully on the neck, it's pretty unusual and has loads of sparkle.


So do any of you hold the hate I used to for Primark, maybe I converted you? Let me know any of your Primark bargains or disasters!
