Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's a-returning boots I go...

A manic day today, straight off to Primark after the school drop off. It was pelting down with rain, not great for motorway (complete with multiple roadworks) driving, but I'm nothing if not dedicated, some would say foolhardy!

So, off I set in pursuit of the elusive black Primark wedges, and to return the tan version in any case.

Now, OH swore blind there were no black wedges last week,  but today -  'ta-da' - there they were - which sweetened the 'driving in rain and cones' pill somewhat, I must admit.  (Just goes to prove by the way, never listen to a Primark assistant, as OH even went so far as to enquire if they would be having a delivery of the black version, to be told emphatically 'No'!)

Here they are....
Mwah - you little beauties.

The black version look much better than their £15 price tag would suggest - and really are just what I was looking for - so lesson learned regarding the impatience - I'm a very 'happy-shopper'.

Now regular readers of this madcap blog may recall that between my local Primark and the car park lies a nice Zara. So Primark hauls always  often go hand in hand with a Zara purchase.

Today, having decided that I would make do with what I had - I know - such a hypocrite - I also bought a red dress - it is tres flattering on - and remember that I resemble a telly tubby at present - so that is no mean feat. Those of you who look great anyway may well look positively goddess like in this lovely dress. (Here it is on the Zara website.)

Before I sign off - the best find of the day was this pair of Acne-a-like boots, also from Primark for £18. I was exceedingly pleased to find these having seen that the Topshop 'Mighty' Acne Pistol lookalikes had sold out online in tan.

For £18 these will do very nicely :-)

    1. I think they are worth it for £18! (Oh dear - here I am leading you astray...) x

  2. I like the dress as well - I like the white one (of all colours!!). But the gods must be feeling kind - I'd just said on your other post you needed some black ones and lo and behold - here they are and they work for you? Are you wearing them with the red dress? Need an outfit post!

    1. You know what, the white would work really well for you I reckon, Sue.

      I did wear the red dress this evening, not with the wedges though. Didn't have time to do a pic today, will feature again soon I suspect! x

    2. I saw the boots when I nipped past Primark and couldn't resist trying them on and ... they're not for me.

  3. Great choices. I saw the wedges in Primark on Saturday and the black was the only colour I liked so good move changing the tan. You are a dedicated shopper - woman after my own heart! x

  4. I have those tan boots and my daily outfits currently are chosen around them they're just the right height, colour and style. I love them! I might just have to pop in to Primark tomorrow to see if they have the black wedges locally.

  5. Love the boots and the dresses! We don't have a primark near here :( and as I am 4 1/2 months pregnant I doubt I will look very nice in the red dress haha.
