Koi print shirt, Primark; Cigarette style jeans, Vintage Chanel.
Bit of an impromptu post from my phone today, so excuse the phone snap, but it just clicked that I probably won't have time to blog this outfit in full for another week or more - have a midweek snippet instead!
Forgive me ladies for I have sinned. That farfetched idea of giving up clothes and beauty shopping for Lent? Out of the window and straight into Primark. I did the deed and mosied over to the Tottenham Court Road branch at lunch yesterday and returned to the office with a double-layer paper bag. It was bad.
Today I'm wearing my vintage Chanel jeans. I hardly ever wear these bad boys, but when I do, things are good in the world. I picked these up when I was 18, at a vintage fair, and practically ran to the stallholder! They're a wonderfully soft 'denim' with a ribbed look and even have the original, genuine gold buttons and hardware. Oh and quilted pockets. The quilted pockets. Also wearing my new koi print shirt, a newbie from Primark, a stack of thin stackable rings on no less than three fingers, my birthday necklace and ASOS Aggies. Full outfit next week if I get time to shoot it in between watching the last of Flower Boy Next Door and packing for my holiday. Excited? Moi?! ♥
SO so jealous of those vintage Chanel jeans, they look lovely! The Primark shirt looks gorgeous too, I bet it looks gorgeous paired with the jeans.

They're my all time best find, I'd been dragged along to the vintage area with a friend as I don't usually bother to hunt through the rails, but practically sprinted to pay when I saw them! Thanks Charlotte, super excited to write my full post about them! x
DeleteOh I really love the koi print shirt - I have given up spending for Lent so I am steering well clear of Primark as I fear my willpower would not be up to the task.
ReplyDeleteThanks Char! Ah I gave it up too but then I needed some lighter clothes for my holiday next week! x

They've seriously upped their game for the new season, seriously impressed - and this is from a girl who can't stop spending all her pennies in Selfridges! Hope you manage to buy lots at the weekend ;) x

Thank you so much Olivia! x
DeleteI tried (and failed) to give up shopping for lent as well! I also tried on that fish print shirt in Primark the other day, but I found it fit really badly, was so baggy and long on me :( Very jealous of you because I had fallen in love with the print!

In all fairness, we tried ;) I thought I was doing pretty well, but I needed to pick up some clothes for my holiday, so a quick splurge in Primark of all places hardly counts! Thanks Hannah - I actually like the baggy fit, the hem goes down to my knees because I'm so small, but it looks great with skinny skinny jeans/trousers and heels! x
Deleteawesome vintage chanel jeans, can't wait to see you actually wearing them in an outfit post ;)
