Fashion Buys on a Budget - New Look and George @ Asda

I don't really know enough about fashion and trends to blog a lot about it but do enjoy buying clothes again after loosing a lot of weight.

I thought I would share this weeks buys with you. I am a size 14/16 at the moment (I used to be a size 22/24) so I dress to suit my shape and hide my mummy/loosing weight tummy.

budget is always on my mind and my favourite clothes shops are New Look and Asda! I feel like the clothes here fit me well and are great value for money plus my sister works at New Look so often get discount vouchers for 25% off from her.

I would highly recommend all of these clothes and the bag is fab!  I even went back to Asda to buy the 3/4 sleeve tunic in another design (oops) They look great with most footwear, I've been wearing boots or sandals depending on the great British weather!

Tunic Top with bird print - £12 George @ Asda
White Stripe Tunic Top - £8 George @Asda
Leggings 2 pack - £12.99 - New Look
Bag - £17.99 New Look

Short Notice Shopping - Fancy Dress for Red Nose Day tomorrow...

Wednesday after school I got a letter telling me that on Friday my daughters will need 80's theme fancy dress and crazy hair for school on friday to raise money for Comic Relief.
I love putting together fancy dress for days like this but one days notice really doesn't leave me a lot of time!
Anyway I had a plan in my head and went into one of the bigger local towns today to see what I could find.
Daughter number 3 is in Nursery so any fancy dress goes, she is doing Peppa Pig.
Daughter number 2 isnt really big on fancy dress so we have gone with a TK MAX 'Stella Mccartney' red nose t-shirt, leggings, some coloured fake hair from Primark, sweat bands and red hair spray from Claires Accessories.
Daughter number 1 is making more of an effort with the 80's theme and has an oversized metalic top from Primark, leggings, 80's style hair and accessories.
I will post pictures of them all tomorrow.
I think I will need to get up much earlier in the morning as I predict it will be chaos!
Whilst shopping I got a couple of good bargains - 2 pretty tea towels for 50p each from Primark and a fab 'Bird Cage' canvas from a charity shop for £1.
Pictures below show some of our Red Nose Day goodies and my bargains.


Top £5.99 TK MAX, red/glitter hair sprays 2 for £4.50 & sweat bands £4 Claire's Accessories, head boppers £2 Oxfam, coloured hair pieces £1 each Primark.

Todays Bargain Finds

Today I went to one of the local towns to pick up a pair of boots for daughter number 3 to wear for nursery from Clarks. Whilst I was there I decided to have a rummage in a couple of charity shops and found a really cool t-shirt for £1 for daughter number 2 that will look great with her bright skinny jeans and Converse. She is only 5 but loves clothes already.
I also picked up a bargain John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Hair care set from Morrisons for £2.48, it was reduced with a lot of other mothers day gifts.
Bargains always make my day better.
