Sale Shopping

Today I headed in to Plymouth city center for my first, (and probably last), browse of the sales. I also tried on a pair of Dr Martens and decided that firstly I definitely need a pair and that secondly, I need a 5 rather than my normal 6, but it was so busy that I'm just going to wait and treat myself to them when I get my student loan in January! I've been trying to work out recently actually whether I've been wearing my shoes too big! I know that sounds absurd but I honestly thought I was a six...yet all of my heels are a five, (otherwise my feet slip too much), I fit into my Mum's size 5 Chelsea boots and now I need a size 5 DM's. Do I just wear my brogues too large!? Maybe I'm an awkward 5.5! Does anyone else have this shoe size confusion?

Anyway I just wanted to show you what I bought in the sale today - it's not much because I'm having to be sensible as I want to save and travel a little after uni! My first stop was H&M in which I found a pair of simple black skinny trousers for just £5. They're really comfortable and practical.

I don't usually bother with Bershka as it really isn't my cup of tea, however today I went in on the off chance that they had a decent pair of black skinny jeans in the sale and ended up finding this lovely jumper! I love the sparkly, almost eighties style and the material feels absolutely divine! It's so comfortable and I feel like it can be worn both casually with a pair of jeans and also dressed up with a high waisted skirt or something. I can't wait to wear it out!

 £12.99 Bershka

I also looked in Topshop, New Look, Zara and River Island but unfortunately didn't find anything that took my fancy. I headed out of the mall and over to Debenhams as I was in dire need of a new black bra! Not only did I get myself a lovely new bra in the sale but I also stumbled across this delightful dress which was just £10! It reminds me of a Dahlia design. (Sorry I couldn't get a full photo, I'll get my boyfriend to get a snap of me in it properly when I'm home!)

I did also find a beautiful pair of wedged court shoes which had bows on the front but they were still £30...which is money that I could put towards my Dr Martens instead. I still feel heartbroken that I left them behind - they looked so so good! :(

Last night my best friend Ria popped over with her boyfriend Dan so we could have a catch up and exchange presents before I go home. We usually get each other tea related things - (we even have matching tea loving tattoos)! This year she got me loads of little bits and bobs which was exciting but my two favourite gifts were these delightful kitsch items: a teapot purse and a little owl decoration! I have no idea why but I'm absolutely in love with the owl decoration, it's so cute...I think I might try and make another one!
