Shopaholic

Shopaholic: is a term used to describe individuals who consider themselves as addicted to shopping.

I confess I am a Shopaholic, Lately I have been making any excuse for buying clothes....last week it was "It's my birthday soon" or the last month it's been "I need to look good on my return to work" and before that I just felt rubbish so needed cheering up and "oh it's only £... what a bargain".

Now the guilt begins...As I lay all my new dresses, tops, trousers and accessories out, I felt this huge guilt trip because I really didn't need it all I already have drawfuls so why do i do it........the truth like any addict it makes me feel better at the time. 

I go through phases when I'm feeling low, sad or dreading something I turn to the shops...this time it's the thought of going back to work after a year off and leaving my little man.

It's a good thing I don't have expensive taste. I will be putting my new outfits together for more "Outfits under £20" so watch this space.

 Anyone else what to share their shopping addiction?

 

Friday Wish List - Week 2

I love butterflies and polka dots as you may have noticed already from my posts so I'm adding a few more to my Wish List.

Navy butterfly print

Black polka dot ruffle

Navy butterfly print dress from my old favourite Dorothy Perkins, but a steep £29 so I've added to this weeks Want it Win it competition that happens every Thursday.

Unfortunately the polka dot ruffle  dress is sold out it was only £10 in the sale - gutted I didn't get there quick enough.

George at Asda has a sale on....again. You might as well just wait for the sales as they have them so often as it's horrible when you buy something full price then a week later it's half price.

Split sleeve top

Super skinny jeans

Imagine this with some skinny black jeans and heels or maybe pumps for day wear only £3 in sale.
 I'm liking the bright colours at the moment and fancy some bright jeans, I'm not normally a yellow person but i do like these bright yellow skinny jeans £14.  I imagine these with some black wedges and a pretty girly black top or colourful striped top that has black and yellow in it. If not yellow I like the bright blues.

I have to co-ordinate colours as I hate the mish mash of patterns or colours. I'm someone who matches a hairband to a bag or shoes (Mad I know).

Boohoo have some nice dresses at the moment, here are some favourites that are in my basket that I am very tempted with as of course they are in the sale.

Shola Halter Striped Jersey 

This stripe maxi dress also comes in black and white so not sure which I prefer but what a great dress for the summer at only £10.

Chloe Elasticated Wrap Front

Navy is another favourite colour of mine so i'm wondering about this wrap dress as it's a bagain buy at £8.


Boohoo clothes look great on the website but I often have returned items as they haven't always fitted right so I have to like something a lot to buy it.

That's it for this Friday's wish list - please do share your wish list

Come back next week for more.

Wish Lists

• Wish List - Week 1

Outfit For Under £20

I mentioned in a post last week about so called fashion experts going on about buying high street clothes but always put together outfits that are still so expensive as though we all have £100-200 to spare.

It annoys me so much I'm going to do the job myself and find outfits under £20 and here is my first one.

All from my favourite shop...good old Primark, I had a shop there on Saturday as a treat for my Birthday thanks to my lovely husband which is his idea of a nightmare as I can spend at least an hour in this shop.

The Outfit:

• Polka Dot Top - £6

• Indigo jeggings - £8

• Bright Red ballerina pumps -£4 ( I actually got these last summer)

The whole outfit is for £18 - BARGAIN

I've plenty more outfits under £20 so watch this space.

I would also love you to share your outfits for under £20.

Friday Wish List

Oh so many things I'd love to buy, I'd love to re-invent myself with a stylish 50s look as I love the red lips, styled hair and figure enhancing clothes oh and I think these shoes from Deelicious would make an excellent start but £44.99 and I'm not allowed to spend boohoo! 

I want... I want........I WANT.

I'm a cheap and cheerful high street girl and love bargains so I can get more for my money.

Loving this multi-coloured animal print short sleeve top from Select only £12. I'm rather into animal print and liking this seasons bright colour look so why not put them together. 

Ooh look at this fab black and white striped dress this is defiantly on my wish list also from Select and £16 oohhhh! I think I would add red shoes and bag.

Chiffon Midi prom dress in green from Matalan.

This would be great in the summer with tan wedges and some wooden beads. I like this but I think it's too much at £18, I may hunt for a cheaper version.

I also like this Orange colour block dress from Matalan especially now I have dyed my hair dark brown. This is £26, I still probably wouldn't spend that much - told you I'm cheap and cheerful especially as I like to change my clothes a lot so why spend a lot. 

All those fashion programmes that say buy high street but when they put things together it still always amounts to £100 - £200, I don't have that to spare and I know you don't have to spend that much to look good. I remember going clubbing (going back a few years now) and I had complements on a dress I was wearing and I only spend about £6 on it (Sale probably). I've had whole outfits for about £20 (including shoes). 

Well that's my list of want's today, next time i'll put an outfit together for £20 x

Is it sad to look forward to Thursdays because one of my favourite shops Dorothy Perkins has a Facebook competition called WANT IT WIN IT you pick something from the DP site and add a comment on the facebook page of your chosen item then they pick someone from the comment list to win what they ask for.

I purchased these two boots in the sale in the end as couldn't resist they are lovely and I bagged them in the sale I wrote a post on the tan boots.
