I was thinking a week ago that I hadn't bought anything from Primark in a long long time… then two gems come along at once! Last weekend when I was home, I picked up the Ramones slashed tee and this stripy sweater. I mentioned a few posts ago I didn't really own anything red stripey and now I have two items to add to my wardrobe. I like this jumper as I think it looks quite ~french and I actually bought it mainly to wear on holiday. I know its a bit weird thing to buy for holiday but its quite thin and lightweight and I think Im going to wear it over a bikini during the hotter times in the day to try and keep some sun off me. Plus I'm not that confident with my middle (its my problem area ): ) so it's nice to have a thing to throw over to cover up!
Today I've just been blogging like mad, hence the super casual comfy outfit. I decided to work my way through my epic stash to try and reorganise it and throw away all my expired makeup. I've drafted so many posts for the upcoming weeks! I actually felt a bit sad parting with makeup and skincare that I've had for a while, even though I know its out of date and I don't use it! I've recently bought some new storage recently which I LOVE, including the Ikea HELMER which is an actual godsend for makeup storage! I actually can't speak highly enough of it. I might do a post on some of my new storage actually as I actually love it that much! I've always been so protective of my stash and never really wanted to or felt the need to show it off, but I think my new storage really has swayed me!
I also did a super informal but fun video on my ETCLLYMLRS youtube channel just answering some questions from a tag I found on Youtube. Im sorry if the volume is super low, its normal on my laptop so I don't really know how Im going to get around fixing it when it isn't an issue for me! We shall see!
love the stripes! especially paired up with the flowy skirt. the look is lovely on you!
ReplyDeletegreat photos, great post!

I love it. So simple, but a great twist on the already classic breton stripe
