Even though it is really cold outside and the rain is
falling down, I am so excited for spring. All I want to do is wear skirts with
bare legs and sandals. Since the weather is not really working with me I have
to wait. But this doesn’t mean we can’t go a little bit crazy in the shops, can
we?
Topshop
First I made a purchase online at Topshop.com. I have seen these shoes for a while know. They are
sort of becoming a blogger cult product and I thought they were really cute and
comfy. They are the TIKA2 High Vamp Skaters in the black crocodile print. I
really like them. I got them in size 39 and they fit perfectly. They were
€26,00, which isn’t too bad for a pair of Topshop
shoes.
Another pair I got was a sale purchase, so you can’t
get these anymore. I knew they would be a love/hate thing, but I think they are
fun and different. They are the MARTIE T Bar Geek Shoes in silver. I had seen
these types of shoes for a while now. I originally wanted them in black, but
since they were still the original price and these ones were in the sale for
€13,00 I went with these ones. I contemplated a lot, but I am happy I bought
them. Metallic is going to be big for spring and summer, so at least I already
have my metallic shoes at the ready.
They are a size 39 and fit true to size. I love that
they are different and a bit funky. I will get a lot of wear out of them this
spring and summer.
Primark
Last Monday I took a trip to Primark. I knew I just had to go, because I haven’t been since December
*gasps*. I managed to find some pretty nice things in there without spending
too much money. My technique is: ‘Do I really need this?’ and ‘Am I going to
wear it?’. Because it is so cheap you want to buy the whole store, but luckily
I got to prevent that.
I bought three things. First of all, another pair of
shoes. Since I don’t have enough shoes already, but these sandals are to die
for. When my eyes fell on them I knew these had to be mine. You had them in
white, tan and black/white. Since I am pretty pale myself I decided to go for
the black/white pair. They were €13,00, which is a good price for a pair of
sandals. I just love the contrast and the design of the shoe. They will be my
spring/summer staple. Maybe I should get another pair just in case?
The next thing was a black beanie. I already have a
purple/burgundy shade that I got in London. I find that this type of beanie
suits me the best. Since black goes with anything I decided to put it in my
bag. It was €3,00. So an absolute bargain if you ask me.
And the last and final item is this top. It is white
textured fabric with pink kisses all over it. I already saw some Instagram
pictures from Primark with items like
this and I thought it was really cute. It was €8,00 and that is so cheap for a
top like this. I got it a few sizes bigger than I normally wear. I find that it
looks better when it is a bit oversized. I already see myself wearing this on a
warm spring day with a cute skirt and my new sandals. Only the weather has to
work with me right know. Please sun some out!
So that were all my new items. Is it bad that I have
five items in this haul and three of them are shoes? Nevertheless I am really
happy with all of them and I will wear them a lot.
Have you bought anything recently?
Love the Topshop shoes! Thinking of buying them in the white color. Would you say they run true to size or not? Debating on whether I should get the 39 or the 40
ReplyDeleteHey! Yes I am a size 39 myself and they are true to size. After you have walked in them they are becoming more comfortable. I do advise to put some tape on the heel of your foot. Especially in the beginning. Otherwise you will get blisters. I hope this helped you!
