We all love a good shop. Well, we all love a good shop when we've actually got the money to buy a few things. So that I did! This is a mix of things from my favourites: New Look, H&M, Primark and Boohoo.com and it's completely accidental that things are very monochrome.
First off I picked up this magazine print jumper from New Look. This is actually my favourite thing right now. I can't take it off! It's slouchy and super soft inside, I love the fit of it and the print on the front is really cute.
Next, these were little things that my mum picked up for me from H&M when we went to Manchester for the day. Thanks Mum!! (Isn't she just the bestest?!). I love the cropped grey jumper, the texture to the grey is really different. However I picked this one up in a medium (when I would usually wear a small) and it is not a great jumper if you want to try to oversize as there is a lot of structure in the shoulders, so if you're looking for something slouchy then it's probably not for you.
Me and my mum both saw the pencil skirt at the same time and it was just too gorgeous to leave behind. It has a stunning blue and silver kaleidoscope jewel pattern on it and a silver zip up the back. I've been loving wearing pencil skirts to go out in and have been looking for a statement patterned one for a while.
And finally, I can not tell you how long I have wanted a leopard print cardigan! And now I have one! Yay! I love that the design on this one is quite small and is really easy to wear. I would always team it with a relatively plain outfit so as not to clash with any other print or colours, but it's definitely a new love of mine.
Who can resist Primark fitness wear?...I can't! I actually picked up more than just these two tops (but the pictures were crap). I was obviously channeling fluorescent yellow at the time and picked up the grey crop top and the black racer back top. I was surprised at how good quality these felt and having worn both of them I can say that they are really comfortable and didn't show any scary sweat patches! (Of vital importance of course). I also snapped up two pairs of jogging bottoms and will let you know how I go on with the patterned pair as I'm not sure my thunder thighs can pull them off. Haha.
And lastly, I put a little boohoo order through on payday and went a bit wild. Altogether I only spent £45 on 7 items (bargain) but still, it was a bit wild for me. This is another one where I bought more than I can show you (as the photos were yet again shite)- must try harder. But I thought that I'd definitely show you this basic grey maxi dress. Being only 5ft tall, I've never been able to find a long dress that doesn't drown me, but here it is! This one is from the boohoo petite range, which fits height 5ft 3 and under! Kudos boohoo!
I also picked up a basic jersey pencil skirt and (another) plain black tube skirt, as well as 4 different tops of varying shades of grey, black and ivory.
So there we are, a bit of a monochrome haul for you there. Have you picked up any 'exciting' basic pieces recently?
