Cardigan, Tights, Bag and Shoes: Primark, Tee: H+M, Shorts: UO sale
Well this is a little strange. For those of you that don't know, this is my first attempt at going solo in the blogosphere, after a good year or so of contributing to Frills 'n' Spills. As much as I loved it, now feels like the right time to move on to something different, something exciting, something that's me.
So here goes!
Today was the unplanned second instalment in mine and mama's shopping spree. I don't know what Uni has done to me, but every time I come back home I have an urge to go on a full-blown retail binge. Seriously, you can tell things are bad when the woman in Primark has to double bag your stuff. Oops.
I hardly ever wear these shorts out in public, despite falling in love with them when, low and behold, they appeared before me in a sale rack in Urban Outfitters. For some reason, shorts and skirts terrify me. I've got so used to skinny jeans that anything above the knee feels like nudity, and I can assure you the world is not ready for that. But finally these shorts seem alright again, and they're so darn comfy it's hard to avoid them. My only quibble was a few florally patches sewn onto them which, although lovely for your grandma's tablecloth, didn't quite work with the red-trucked 'born to reign' t-shirt...I wonder why? The stitch picker I had hiding away somewhere finally came into its own.
Anyways, part two of said shopping spree involved more tights; more skinny jeans and lots of man t-shirts all for £20. Yep. Primark, I think I love you.

Love this outfit! I'm so glad I've found where you disappeared to on the web.
You're not the only one, after a rather gruelling week/month of college I always want to hit the shops. Call it stress-busting...?
