a few small purchases :)

i really, really, really can't afford to go shopping at the moment. i went into aberdeen today to pick up my mother's birthday present, honest! but my determination was broken after i found out the ignorant woman in bhs hadn't even ordered my order.... which i placed over a month ago!!! i needed a little retail therapy just to lift my mood! i promise i didn't go anywhere expensive, and everything i bought was kind of necessary....

this is what i wore today:
(wool dress - french connection. tights - primark. boots - new look)

excuse the awful awful mess inthe background - my bedroom is honestly such a tip at the moment, and i haven't quite had that insisent urge to hang everything up and put it all away. and until that happens, everything is staying put...!

i only went on a bit of a primark splurge today, honestly. at first glance, i didn't like anything i saw in there today. at all. but then i had a proper look round and managed to find a few little bargains,like this great shirt:


it's exactly like a boyfriend shirt, but with a better cut to it! i was going to buy a proper man's one from topman but this seemed like a much cheaper alternative, for only £8! it's got a better cut to suit a girl and is just long enough to wear with leggings or tights. nice! i'm going to wear it tomorrow, with a few pairs of tights for warmth and the boots i wore today, and these cute little mini satchel bag i picked up today for just £3!

these little babies also jumped out at me as i walked to the escalator - they are quite delicate and pretty and will go lovely with an outfit i have planned for a night out next week :) i do love all things shiny and dangly and girly! and they were a steal at £1.50! honestly, i'm such a sucker for any kind of jewellery. i'm like a magpie!


shopping wouldn't be shopping without a small purchase of some undies. i have a real thing about leopard print at the moment, and i know leopard print undies sound tacky as hell, but these were so cute and cheeky i couldn't help it!


haha the bra looks massive in this photo, my boobs really aren't that big!! but that is the sum total of my shopping for the moment. and i'm so determined to stick to it this time. no more clothes purchases for the whole of november. if i can manage... ;)
