In calendar terms, we’re at the height of summer, which technically should equal pub gardens after work, debuting bright new summer buys, and only feeling guilty about eating 3 Magnums when you realise you have to cram yourself into an itsy-bitsy bikini in a few weeks.
But hang on, this is England, and there seems to be very little sign of the above, unless the pub gardens include darting under an umbrella…
Never mind, I won’t let a bit of overcast sky stop me from singling out a brand new coral dress, and ankle strap heels in pastel shades, oh, and 3 new maxi split skirts. Yes, I could only be talking about the holy grail, Primarni, which takes this month’s In Vogue title.
On a recent trip to London I dared venture into the Oxford Street branch, aka hell on Earth. I picked up a basket at the door, which actually doubled as a pulley trolley, but 10 seconds in and someone had already tripped over it. Safe to say that was left by the first table I approached.
I could happily spend hours in here, but I feel I’m often the fool enticed by the tiny pricetag, only to arrive at the till and be faced with a hefty bill ‘cos I’ve picked up 60 things with tiny pricetags. Either way, I decided on a few items this time not going too crazy. My favourite is this stunning (£10 – making it even more appealing), strappy coral sundress, perfect for my holiday in September, or warmer days in Blighty with a cute cardigan.
What I ❤ most about this is the frills at the front, adding a slightly more glamorous touch to a simple dress, as well as the gold bars which are laced into the straps. Not forgetting the ultra feminine cross-over back, this is possibly my favourite buy of the last few weeks.
I’d love to know what you all think, and if you’ve bagged any bargains from Primark recently, too! 🙂
