big gems & dot

Dress H&M, Cardigan Primark, Necklace Wallis Sale, Belt Primark, Bracelets Holiday, Tights Topshop.


Doesn't everyone have that one go to top that seems to go with everything when noting else will? This polka dot dress is definitley mine, it's thrown on as a dress or tucked into jeans when I have nothing else, it's worn with shorts as a top, paired with things that nothing else will go with, basically it's a pretty versatile piece and something which was definitley worth £9.99.I bought this cardigan on Saturday in Primark and my eyes were immediately drew to it when I though 'i'm sure Topshop had that in a few weeks ago'. I actually remember trying it on in there when they'd reduced it from some price down to £30 but ended up not getting it. This one was only £14 which i'm super pleased with especially when I went into River Island afterwards to see this one which is almost identical for £32. I'm sorry but doesn't everyone love finding a piece of clothing for less than half the price of another shop?

Obviously I don't personally make a habit of going into Wallis for myself but I was in there with my nanna a few days ago and spotted this beauty in the sale for only £1, also similar to necklaces that Topshop do i'm sure? I'm not sure if everyone knows this already but Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, Asda, Boots, Bhs, Matalan, Wallis and Miss Selfridges are all supplied with jewellery from the same company so often they have the exact same pieces in but for a few pounds cheaper in one of the other stores. Proves that Topshop adds a few pounds onto everything simply because of the name of the shop, there's been many occasions when i've seen the same ring in Asda & Matalan (remeber that gold wrap leaf one?) for around £3.50 compared to the £8 or more in Topshop. Feel like i've given Topshop such a battering in this post, don't worry I still love you despite that fact you overprice just about everything you have haha!
