So as many of you will know by now.....I’M
GOING TO ITALY IN MAY!! Ok sorry about the yelling but I’m slightly excited-if
you hadn’t already guessed that!!! Anyway, believe it or not going to Primark
is a bit of a treat for me, sounds a bit sad but to be honest I try not to spend
money because I was a bit naughty with shopping when I was younger. Let’s just
say it wasn’t quite the credit card in the ice block like Rebecca Bloomwood but
it wasn’t far off. The other reason is living in Dorset I have to drive about
40 minutes to get to a Primark (which is tiny but still better than nothing) so
it’s a bit of a mission to go if you need one thing so we order a lot online
but it’s not the same. Anyway I got to a Primark and spent a small fortune but
they are key pieces which I can use as different outfits. I had loads and loads
of stuff which always happens with me but nowadays I can put stuff back. So
there were a few things I thought would be great for the holiday but I had a budget
and I stuck to it (or thereabouts-eeek!)
I decided
to go sophisticated apart from one item which I will wear here. Which is the
sparkly high tops which I couldn’t resist buying. They are quite comfy as well.
I thought they could jazz up a boring outfit. Think they have had mixed reactions but I love them so I’m going to wear them. Sometimes it’s good to
be a bit silly!!
Then I
focused on my Italy style and what I could wear to make me look as glamorous as
all those beautiful and elegant Italian ladies. So I thought key pieces that
would work with other clothes I have. So I thought the white shirt with the
little bobbles or dots on would go with everything (I just need to buy a white
strappy top to go under it.) I can put the shirt with my white jeans, my yellow
and blue trousers and most of my skirts including the one in the picture.
The skirt
is tulle material which I love and the detail of the flowers is very pretty and
the colour makes it sophisticated and it can be an evening or day depending on how
I accessorise it and what I pair it with. In the day I can put it with a little
t-shirt or a vest top but maybe the skirt is a cute option. I have black
sandals that I would probably wear with that skirt rather than the other
sandals which are a bit more playful with the teeny tiny pom poms-which are too
cute to handle-lol! The other shoes I bought were for evenings out, I bought
flat shoes because with cobbles and hills I don’t want to struggle to walk
around. I think on holidays it’s sensible to wear flatter shoes in places like
Italy. They will go with skirts and long dresses too. I did forget to
photograph my long evening cardigan that is cream which will go with all of my
evening outfits or if it’s more chilly in the day. Oh and I also forgot to
photograph the jumper I am wearing now which actually is a mint colour, it’s a
summer jumper (lightweight) so I can wear it in Italy with my white jeans or a
skirt. I bought some new sunglasses and a silk scarf that I thought looked
quite chic for Italy. The sunglasses are the style I used to have when I
thought I was young and hip! The silk scarf I could wear with a skirt or a a
more simple top that I could then pair it with to make it a feature. I was happy with what I got and I can combine
it with other clothes that I already have so only need a few cheaper bits like
vest tops. Can’t wait to go and I’m sure maybe another mini haul before I
go-hehe!!
