This Week

This week has been full of odd situations in various places.  It has comprised of trips around local Communities First areas, a hot chocolate in a beachside cafe with a policewoman in Porthcawl and a 3am chicken burger to soak up an obscene amount of rum in Swansea.

I spent approximately the same amount of money on that chicken burger as I did on the above bag from Primark, which had its first outing today.  I took it to a book fair at the YMCA in Bridgend, where I purchased 10 books for £10 (including a surfing picture book which was published in the year of my birth) and consumed a carton of orange juice and a Cadbury's Creme Egg in the makeshift cafe.  Incidentally, I have been to two YMCAs this week (the other was in Pontypridd).

My life is so rock & roll (sarcasm), and it seems I'm subconsciously dressing in a subdued way to reflect this.  I wore a button-down smock dress today with a polka-dot-heart pattern, practical Clarks boots and that cutesy bag, and realised when I got home that I looked like I was auditioning for a British wartime version of Little House on The Prairie.

Or, to put a much more positive spin on it, the girl in this video who falls in love with a wolf and turns him human.  Awww.

Primarni's Spring Summer Collection

 

Ah, funk.  Primark and my empty purse have clearly been conspiring against me.  They've come up with this collection together because they know I won't be able to resist cheap and pretty/ pretty cheap clothes.  It's not fair; I've been trying to spend less on throwaway fashion so that I can afford to eat splurge once in a while, and I've been trying to pare down my wardrobe so that it's easier to dress myself in the morning.

Guess this means that despite my best efforts my wardobe will remain bulky and I won't be able to afford that bag of oranges Stella McCartney's lemon and satsuma printed dress.

Woe is me.
