My new love: Primark

Today is my One Month Anniversary with London, I must say it's been a pretty good relationship so far...well I could do without the rain.  I decided to celebrate my budding relationship with this city in true girly fashion.  I am not a shopper by any means, most times I would rather poke my eyes out than fight through a mall.  It's most likely because I am always poor.  Nothing has changed, in fact I am more poor than ever but 120lbs of luggage will only get you so far (especially when 20lbs are shoes).  I have no clothes, a good portion of the things I packed have no purpose here and the things I deemed unworthy of London are the things I want.  Typical!  After hearing from some girls at school about the magical cheapness of Primark I decided to check it out.  Think Forever 21 or H&M, cheap, crowded, and not the highest quality.  It was mobbed but I was willing to fight the crowd and the 30minute wait for a dressing room to take advantage of the prices.  I didn't pay more than 10 pounds for anything, most things including shoes, shirts, & jewlery were a pound or two.  I am in love.  These clothes may only make it through two washes but for now I am in love!

For a mere 60 Quid I got:
  • 1 Sweater
  • 1 Buttondown Tunic w/Belt
  • 1 Cute tank
  • 1 Cami
  • 1 Bathrobe
  • 1 Jersey Tunic
  • 1 Long Sleeve Shirt
  • 5 Pairs of Opaque Tights
  • 1 Pair of Navy Tights
  • 1 Make Up Bag
  • 1 Large Purse
  • 1 Pair of Ked type Sneakers
  • 1 Pair of Flats
  • 1 Bracelet
  • 1 Pair of Dangly Earrings
  • 2 Headbands
  • 1 Pair of Jeans
Even with the terrible exchange rate I made out like a bargain bitch!  A great way to celebrate my anniversary, it's a good thing I don't have to feed myself often or else I wouldn't be able to afford food for a few days!
