Me & the Muvster were going to get out of bed nice and early New Years day & head for our monthly Primarni session but instead, we opted for the day after. Which may have been a mistake on our part, as I did happen to over hear one member of Primark staff say they lost out on money big time New Years Day as it wasn’t busy at all. She also mentioned that the Bristol branch alone, made £90K every Saturday…can you believe that!? That certainly was an eye opener, thanks for that, stupid Primark member of staff talking loudly about wages, staff & earnings. Discreet much?
Anyway, Primark opens at 11am Sunday, so we sat and had a coffee in a Starbucks nearby as we arrived slightly too early, then headed off, in the hope of finding some amazing bargains. And that I did. I wasn’t majorly overwhelmed by the stock they have in at the moment. It’s that really awkward, tricky inbetween stage. There’s chunky-knit cardigans & boots that have been in a while, and summer dresses and flipflops that have just arrived in stock. I don’t know about you, but i’m not shopping for summer clothing JUST yet. The flipflops just made me wince at the thought of wearing so little in such cold weather. Frost bite anyone? They still had maxi dresses in & a lot of it was very samey. They did have some really cute playsuits however, which i figured could be worn with tights, cardigans and boots in the colder months, then bare-legged with flipflops when the sun decides to come back. Here’s what i picked up anyway…
Stripy Sailor Oversized Jumper – £10
Navy Sailor Cardigan – £10
Polka Dot playsuit – £13
Long Sleeved Floral/Birds Playsuit – £15
Pink floral headband – £2 Daisy Headband – £1
Knitted Headbands (Good alternative to hats/ear muffs in the cold) – £1.50 each
Khaki green chuncky knit over the knee socks – £2
Miss Selfridge Rings – Both 50% off – Bow ring – £1.75 Cameo ring – £3.25

wah my arms went up in the aair :Dpplease tell me what you would wear them socks with they are gorgeous !:O
awesome findings, especially that sailor-inspired jacket!
You picked up some gorgeous pieces in this haul!
I'm constantly amazed at the quality of Primark clothes. I'm not necessarily talking about the quality of the fabric and how long they last, but compared to a couple of years ago when all you could pick up were plain vests and t-shirts everything is so much more fashionable!
I'll definitely be buying that daisy headband for summer, I've been looking for one since summer last year and didn't find any!
That cameo ring is gorgeous! Miss Selfridge do some fantastic jewellwry at the moment!
Great haul — good going Zoe!

You always seem to find such lovely things! The best my Primarni has to offer is some tangled neclaces and a pair of shocking lime green shorts. I need to visit Bristol; Eastbourne just isn't cutting it.
Anywho, great post!

I love the headbands!! I'll like see you wearing that!!!
:)
It's so difficult to me writte a english comm!! Is it good?? jajajaj!!!!
They are all fab! I'm lucky to have a Primarni right on my doorstep! I have learnt to visit it only certain times of the days, else it's a jumble sale amongst crowds! My worst nightmare!
I like all your buys especially the little playsuits and the knee socks :) x
Great buys hun :) was lovely seeing you (all be it briefly)
Love the buys, you got some lovely bits! I always feel a bit over whelmed with the Bristol Primark, as there always is SO MUCH- crap or not, it;s just stock everywhere.
I'm still very much feeling the winter clothing, and cold times- so I'm not into looking at summer clothes just yet, it will make me want to jet off on holiday.
I got about 5 pairs of tights- can't get enough of tights & socks at the moment, and also a similar playusit to the polka dot one, just slightly different pattern :)
xx
Ooh, gorgeous purchases! Loving the nautical bits, and especially loving the floral headband, I'm hoping it's still in stock by the time I get chance to pop in :)

I love the polka dot playsuit…my Primark didn't have that in my size so all I ended up getting today was some tights! x
I've seen some nice playsuits in Primani, bought one and it was too big and they haven't had anymore in since, my Primark is rubbish :( Want it sooo much more now!
Lovely purchases by you :)

Ireland's Primark (penneys) never seems to have the same stuff :( Maybe the store where I live just isn't big enough.
