It's that time of the year again girlies, where I've noticed that the majority of my wardrobe consists mainly of jumpers, jeans and jackets with colours ranging from black, to burgundy so not very colourful! Therefore I thought that it was time for a wardrobe update of spring/summer clothes to spruce up my wardrobe and to get me ready for summer. I decided to pop into Primark (Primarni, as we like to call it) the other day and I just fell in love with their new collection and kind of went a little mad on a few pieces! Below I am going to show you the main pieces I purchased and I will also describe to you why I chose them and what the benefits are of each item. So without further ado, let's gets started!
I spotted this jumper on Zoella's YouTube channel a while ago when she went shopping in Bristol and was so happy to find out that it had been released in the London shops just recently! This jumper is so perfect for spring as it is made of a light cotton and the black stripes give it that everyday casual wear feel. But what really sold it to me was actually the back of the jumper funnily enough - just under the bra line it has a sheer cream silk panel that looks so elegant when it is on and I think that with a pair of black skinny jeans and heeled boots, you can also wear it for an evening out as well!
Once I found out that the stipe jumper worked, I was very impressed to find that it also came in two other shades and so obviously snapped those up as well. It came in a light charcoal colour and also a navy - I found that because these shades are plain in colour with no added pattern to them, you really notice the sheer panel on the back probably more so than the striped version! They have a high crew neck and so I like to style them with a statement necklace - here I teamed the navy sweater with a necklace also from Primark that compliments the sweater due to colour co-ordination with the navy and cream elements that the sweater portrays. This is a great piece with jeans also.
Another sweater that I spotted whilst on my shopping spree was this lovely number! Summer to me, is all about flowers and anything floral so you can imagine my excitement when I spied this in the corner of my eye! I like the simplicity of this piece, what with the charcoal base colour but also the squared/boxed shape which makes it perfect for summer as it keeps you cool. The flower details on the sleeves and hem of the sweater gives it personality and makes it uber feminine - I cannot wait to wear this with my GAP shorts for summer!
Keeping in with the stripes theme going on (I don't know why but this year I seem to have gone stripe crazy... I seriously can't get enough of them), I picked up these cute tank tops to wear with shorts and high waisted jeans. I love the neckline on these tops because it's in the style if a halter neck, meaning it's super comfortable to wear as it doesn't have normal arm straps. I think it gives a chic look and it can be teamed up with pretty much anything. Also, the fact that they are knitted cotton makes them textured and also great for spring as they are not too thin!
Whilst I was in Primark I was mainly on the hunt for a great cooling dress for summer - something I can easily pop on with a pair of sandals but also something I can dress up if I needed too. This dress ticks all of those boxes and more! This dress is a fantastic find because it has two ways of wearing it. You either wear it as a halter neck style (like the one pictured above), or you simply take the straps off and have it completely strapless. I love how it is two dresses in one but I also love the colour and pattern too. Navy and white is classic for summer but the fact that it has bottle green running through it makes it more expensive and quirky! Really looking forward to wearing this when it gets hotter.
And finally I bring you to my last piece that I purchased and I must say that I saved the best till last! This is quite possibly the most useful and versatile cardigan/kimono I have seen in a long time! It is of a jersey material making it cooling but also the shape is unconstructed meaning you can wear it over anything. I absolutely love the fringing at the bottom as not only is it more fashionable but it also adds about three inches more to the length of the item. The colours are really useful to me as I wear a lot of black and grey and I can definitely wear those colours underneath. The teal and the pink colours brighten up the cardigan without making the print be too garish and loud! I would say that this is a brilliant piece as it's on trend without being too bold, as the colours are nice and subtle!
I really hope that this has spurred you on to update your wardrobes and if you haven't already popped down to your nearest Primark, I strongly advise that you do so now!
Have a great bank holiday weekend! M x
