Pretty in Primark!

Wednesday 14 November 2012

Recently during my daily blog surfing, I've noticed numerous outfit posts featuring stylish bargains from Primark. Jade isn't a fan of the store but my boyfriend often finds cute pieces in the menswear department, so last week I was on a mission to find something cute too.

Jumper: Primark - Top: c/o Glamorous - Skirt: Primark - Ring: Cheap Frills - Beanie: Forever 21 - Boots: Rocket Dog

The first thing I spotted was this sparkly sequin skirt (£16) from the Limited Edition range. I've been after a sequin skirt for weeks now but I'm not a fan of the ultra mini versions floating around. This one is absolutely perfect for me because it's dip-hem (my favourite) and it's not too heavy either. 


As a pinning addict, I've spotted several bloggers on Pinterest wearing chunky knits with sequin skirts and I love this combo. After finding the skirt, the hunt began to find a suitable oversized jumper to pair with it! My well-trained mum actually found this cream jumper (£12) which has small flecks of gold running through it, I think they match perfectly.


The jumper is a little sheer so underneath I'm wearing a cream blouse from Glamorous. The pearl collar is so pretty and I really like how it fits in with the outfit. As it's a little chilly, my beanie of choice is this neon number (£6) from Forever 21.


I love that adding a jumper to a sequin skirt makes it pretty casual. I wasn't sure if I had suitable footwear to them both until I remembered these yummy Satire boots (£54.99) from Rocket Dog.


They had somehow became lost in a sea of shoe boxes so had never been worn before but I rescued them and put them to work. They are so comfortable and I think they finish the outfit really well, I'd love them in another colour too.


Bristol is so pretty this time of year, this pic was snapped as the sun was setting and gives you a nice close-up of my collar poking through. My talented photographer pal Liz took these pictures, I'm hoping to get a DSLR this Xmas so all my blog pics will then look (almost) as pretty as these! 

Are you a fan of this knit/sequin combo?

  14. I love how the beanie adds a pop of color to your outfit! I love that sequined skirt. I'll admit, I think sequined mini-skirts look slightly distasteful, at least in my opinion, but I love how this skirt is slightly longer with a unique hem. I think pairing it with a knit jumper makes it look more cute than glamorous, which, in my opinion, is the perfect way to rock this skirt unless you're going clubbing!

    I adore your blog and I've followed you. You're so flawless, by the way! (:

  25. I like the skirt - I don't think I saw that last time I went in Primark but it is the kind of thing I walk past normally as I don't think I would be able to carry it off but you've paired it really well with everything. The pink beanie is the cherry on top.

  29. This outfit is ridiculously cute and quirky, I love it, the dipped hem skirt is definitely my favourite and I wish I owned one, I would never of thought to pair it with brown Satire boots and a neon pink beanie, but they work so amazingly well :) xx

  35. The sequins are so pretty and light- excellent find! I love the contrast between the textures too. :)

    I really need to have a proper explore of Primark! We don't have a local one and when I go to the city I just tend to stick to the accessories so I think I'm missing out!
