What I bought in New Look

This outfit looks so 90's and I love it. I was in NewLook having a browse around and I saw this skirt which I have seen before in a different colour and regretted not buying it. Its high wasted and sort of like a soft tweed. The high waist part about it remind me of a school skirt but still its fantastic.

 I saw the top and instantly new it would go together. It's like a polo but not to big at the neck if that makes sense. I also think I had one just like it when I was little. Strange how these things come back in style.

 I then picked up the shoes. The shoes ended up being a bargain and the cheapest part of this outfit at only €7. I don't normally where black shoes I actually hate black shoes normally and don't think I've owned a pair in years. Apart from work/school shoes I would never willing buy a pair so this did surprise me that I went straight for them. I also haven't worn any heels in about a year since I hurt my calf and knee. I'm very accident prone and was a bit worried but when I did wear them out I brought flats and changed as soon as my leg start to hurt a bit.  I really don't need to spend a month on crutches this year lol. 

I wore this with black tights and a long necklace with a leaf design. I unfortunately didn't take any photo's of the outfit on which is typical me lol.

Travel Haul Part Two

As I'm clearing out old stuff I'm replacing it with new stuff for travelling. The cycle never ends. I bought some practical stuff this week as well as some fun travel accessories. 

First if all I got this purple zebra print travel pillow and matching luggage tag in Dunnes Stores for €8 for the pillow and €3 for the tags. I just love the print and the way the pillow is filled with little beans. I got one last year that was memory foam and at first I found it comfortable but after a while I just found it uncomfortable and irritating, it felt like a rock around my neck or something. I'm hoping for better luck with this one. I saw them in pink as well but went for the purple as someone pointed out that most of my stuff is pink ....woops. 

I also got two packs of vest tops and a pack of socks in Lidl for great prices. I'm genuinely impressed with the quality of the vests and socks. The tops came in packs of 3 with either mint green, pink and white or blue, yellow and grey and also a 3 pack of black but I didn't get those ones. They only cost €6.99 for a pack and came in loads of sizes.I even picked my sister up a packed while I was there and she was delighted with them. I love vest tops they come in so handy for when a top is a little to low for my liking, a little too sort which I always find and hate or when I'm wearing a sheer top or blouse. The socks came in a pack of 7 for €3.99 and came in a couple of different sizes, I got size 21/2 to 5 even thought I'm a six and a half but I got socks there before in a bigger size and they where too big. They colours are lovely and bright and a change form just plain black and white, and well you can never have enough socks.
