sts: Primark Haul,. September 2011

Its officially my favorite time of year,. I adore Autumn and Winter if I'm honest. I love how the sky is clear, the sun is shinning, yet it is cold and I can wrap up without becoming a victim of the dreaded "hot flush". I am sure I have already mentioned I really do not cope well in the Summer or under any kind of excessive heat, I don't really enjoy only wearing one layer, revealing skin, baring flesh, getting legs out etc etc, its just not for me. I'd rather be too cold rather than too hot.Yes I am clearly a 22 year lady old trapped in the mentality of a middle aged women, but I do simply just enjoy "wrapping up".
So when the cool Autumn breeze started nipping at me, I was delighted and looked forward to going and purchasing some new clothing for this season.
I just wanted to get a few versatile pieces that would keep me warm and be on trend with regards to colour etc.
So here we go;

Cotton Vests, £2 each, one in a Blue/Grey, and other in Grape ( deep purple). Let the layering begin :)

The trusty cardigan. I'm just going to put it out there, I bloody love them. These two were only £6 each, I got these as I love the autumn colours, however they have a massive range of colours available in the basics section. For £6 these are really good quality, I have worn one a few times, it is so soft and keeps its shape.

This jumper comes in a few different colours, and I have seen loads of guru's on youtube with it. Its a lovely thick knitted jumper which hangs lower at the back which makes it great to team with leggings or thick tights as it covers your bum ( never reveal the bum!). In fact I am wearing this as I type, and it is just so comfortable. It is oversized and can look a little "boxy",. but I guess this is the trend so I shall just go with it. Oh and it was £10, which I believe to be a bargain and it will last a long time and keep you super warm when the Winter arrives.

Next on the list of things to buy were "bottoms" aka,. jeans or jeggins or something to put over my legs :)

I picked up this pair of black skinny jeans for £9. I have these in dark blue also and they are the perfect fit. I have jeans which cost up to £120, and none have ever fit me so well. They wash great and are made very well, they even have floral lining in the pockets :)

Next purchase was a pair of grey jeggings, do exactly what it says on the tin, they are grey, pretend to be jeans when in fact they are more elasticated, no zip just elastic waistband and pretendy pockets. They were £8, fit like a glove, and a great put on for everyday casual wear.

The last pair of "bottoms" I got were a pair of thick grey leggins, these a very similar to the 'treggings' that H&M offer. These were £6 and remind me of jodhpurs, never the less very comfortable and thick enough to pass off as real trousers.

Now onto jewelry and accessories, I got this skull ring which is a little bit McQueen'esk for £2. I also picked up a pair of very vintage looking earings which have the green "gem" inside a rather over the top swirly gold casing, these were £2 also.

The next item I got was a long necklace with an imitation tooth/bone pendant. I believe this was £2-£2.50.

I was after a thick belt, to actually keep trousers up rather than for show, this does the trick nicely. It is a thick brown embossed belt with a brass buckle. It was £2.50
