Wearing: Wrap Dress as top from Vero Moda, Skirt by Darling via TK Maxx,
Oversized Denim Jacket from Primark, Brogues from Peacocks, Belt and Sunglasses from Tesco and
Necklace from Olivia Accessories*.
You are reading correctly, this skirt really was a measly £3. Me and Phil were drifting round TK Maxx (a somewhat regular occurrence when I'm at his) and as I scanned the rails my eyes found their way to this super cute print skirt and a rather pleasing red sticker hiding away on the clearance rail. I completely lost my train of thought and whatever I was jabbering on about came to an abrupt halt as I admired it. There was no um-ing and ah-ing to be had, I grabbed it hurriedly and tried it on over what I was wearing in the middle of the shop before I paid the same amount as I would have for a car parking ticket and took it home. The length is perfect and I adore the little embroidered polka dots which, to me, add a little bit of texture and depth. I've styled it down with a bit of brown and denim but this would be a brilliant candidate for a day to night type outfit.
On another note, what have you all been up to? I've had a lovely chilled week with Phil, he started a new job today so last week he used up the last of his holiday from his old one. We popped to Alton Towers and had a couple of days in the park where we got our rollercoaster adrenaline fix and queued 2 hours and 50 minutes for The Smiler. We had a few hours another day in the water park where I rocked a bikini for the first time and in the evenings we explored the beautiful village of Alton after eating home cooked pub food; lovely! We also managed to book two seats for McFly's birthday show at The Royal Albert Hall in September so are searching for decent priced hotels (preferably with car parking) in the area, so if you know of any please do recommend them to me. I now have jobs to apply for, several emails to catch up on, posts to write, comments to leave, and photos to take and edit. Wish me luck!
Make sure you let me know your best bargain buys whether they're TK Maxx finds or not, I'd love to know.
Love that skirt! And what a bargain as well! It looks so cute paired with some tan and denim for the faux summer we're having. So jealous of your McFly tickets, I must admit. Good luck with the job apps! xx
ReplyDeleteI have never seen such a bargain from TK Maxx looks so lovely on you. Love the outfit pics, I have hair envy and want a new lippy now haha. I need to google The Smiler!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not so familiar with TK Maxx but honestly, that skirt is sooooo pretty! :) You looks so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that skirt was only £3 - such a bargain! This outfit is gorgeous and the wrap dress looks amazing layered under your skirt. So lucky you got McFly tickets! I've not seen them in far too long. good luck with the job applications xx
ReplyDeleteHUGE bargain hunting kudos for that skirt, I keep saying this but I really need to venture into TK Maxx! I always had this idea of it being an awful jumble-sale (possibly because I worked there for one tragic week), but I've seen people get some amazing stuff lately. Thanks for the inspiration!

I do love a good wrap dress - anything that can contain my boobs and still look classy is a winner!
ReplyDeleteI need to start going into TK Maxx more, forget how good their bargains can be! xxx

Seriously cannot believe that skirt was £3, what a total bargain! My top bagain wasn't form TK Maxx but New Look, and it's a green summer strappy top type thing with a white crotchet part on the chest... it was £1! Seriously couldn't believe it haha. Wearing the dress as a top is such a good idea too, I see so many people do it but I'm never clever enough to do it myself :)
