Lookin’ fancy for a fiver

Feeling the winter blues,the arctic bite? Purse strings(and skinnys) dismally tight? Like most fashionista folk, right now I’d much rather be spending my pennies on Boohoo bests than British gas. Yup things sure ain’t what they used to be, blimey, a fiver scarcely covers a bus ride into town these days and will barely buy your milk, eggs n bread at your local ‘Tesco- every little costs alot!’

I remember the teenage glory days of 90’s when my mum would sly me a twenty for a shopping spree. Patting that note in my pocket and smugly nodding to my mates in Tammy, I felt the biz.

This got me thinking, In 2012 can you still get that thrifty thrill?...

Oh yes... I’ve been a woman on a mission-(whoa-oh!) And alas! My bargain busting days have paid off...and busting makes you feel good! Behold!

What I found for five whole pounds

In the fabulous Topshop sale, this tomato maxi will look fierce prancing on the promenade simply accessorised with tropical tan and casual gladiators, or turn up the glam with a gold statement necklace and bling bangles. I can’t wait to rock my fancy fiver frock on my holls later this year!

And still, whilst my finances may need to thaw out a little longer, at least I can continue concealing that extra xmas pork in gigantic jumpers and cosy oversized sleep suits-god bless the onesie!
