Batman baseball style top: PRIMARK | Grey wool beanie hat: TOPMAN | High waisted leather shorts: TOPSHOP | Shoes: CONVERSE

I don't really shop in Primark, and this is for a number of reasons:

1. Up until I started reading a lot of blogs, I was a clothes snob; I was sticking to Topshop.
2. I'd never been near one until starting uni in Manchester last year, and now I'm back home I'm far away from one again.
3. All the people!  Once I am in public I am one of the most impatient people you could meet.  As soon as I step in Primark I go from 0 - Frustrated in the space of three seconds. WHY ARE YOU STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORE FULL OF PEOPLE?  BITCH!  (I'm joking.  Kind of...)

However, things have changed, as here I am in a Primark item!  This is my third item from there actually, I got another piece in the same visit as this one and the first thing I ever bought from them was some pyjama pants (so maybe that doesn't count?).  I had a trip to Manchester the weekend before last for a bloggers' meet up, but after realising at the meet up that an hour had passed and I hadn't had any conversations with anyone, I decided to leave and do what I am good at - shopping!  (I clearly have issues.)
I've realised though that I don't go into Primark unless there's an item(s) which I am specifically looking for.  On this trip there were two - both spotted on Lily - and I just knew I had to have them.  I was doubtful in my search as it took me five times the usual time it takes me to find something (the store is far too big me) but I got there in the end!  I walked out with two pieces of clothing for less than twenty pounds altogether, reminding me of the reason why so many bloggers love it in there.

As a fan of Batman, buying this top for a mere six pounds was definitely something to get excited about.  I think I bought it in a size 16 - the largest they had - as at the time I had no idea if this meant adult sizes or age 16?  But after trying it on I can see it was intended for women, not girls, but I don't mind at all and I wanted it to have that baggy, loose look anyway.
This is my first time wearing it since buying and I knew it'd look great tucked into these very new faux leather shorts, picked up in the sale section of Topshop.  The beanie and the Chucks add to the whole geek chic feel of the look, so I just think that the leather material makes it look slightly more grown up (although not much).  Saying that, though, in summer I will be going all out and teaming this with some denim shorts, probably resulting in me looking like a young child, but I'll werk it.
I felt like a superhero for the whole time wearing this, but unfortunately a short while after taking these photos I spilt sauce down it.  Not exactly a cool, heroic thing to do, huh?

Christmas outfit - MY PYJAMAS! (d'uh)

Dusty pink jumper with zips: TOPSHOP | Pyjama pants: PRIMARK | Shoes: CONVERSE

Did I really just pose in my pyjamas?  Yes, yes I did...
So I thought it would be fun to do a bit of a silly post and show you what I'm wearing today, which obviously is my pyjamas.  I know a lot of you make a big fuss about what you're wearing on Christmas day and use it as an excuse to look all glam, which I can SO understand, but apparently this year I'm using it as an excuse to do the exact opposite.  SO SUE ME.  And I'm not cheating by wearing this jumper, honestly, I really do wear it with these pants to keep all warm and snug.  Plus, it matches pretty damn well with them, right?!
I couldn't help but add some lipstick, I mean, come on, I had to make a little bit of effort.  Maybe if the pyjama trend from this year's summer ever comes back, I will be donning this for a full day at some point.  One can dream.
Please note: the Converse were for practicallity for taking the photos, they will be replaced by some silly looking slippers/wooly christmas socks.
Snug. As. A. Bug.
So that's what I am wearing today, perfect for lounging and eating lots and lots.  I'll talk more about my day when I do a Christmas haul type of post, am still contemplating whether to do that tonight or just leave it for tomorrow?  If you've posted about what you've got for Christmas, please link it!  I loved reading them all last year and can't wait to see what everyone got today.  There will be a few Michael Kors watches, I supsect...
Merry Christmas!  YA' FILTHY ANIMAL.

I never play the victim, I'd rather be a stalker

Studded faux leather jacket: TOPSHOP | Round sunglasses: PRIMARK (men's) | Baroque print t-shirt: ASOS |
Black split maxi skirt: RIVER ISLAND via ASOS | Shoes: CONVERSE

I showed you this tee yesterday which I bought in the twenty five percent discount on ASOS a few days ago, and the other thing which I used it for is this skirt.  Also a bargain at the same price of £13.50.  I have been looking for a maxi skirt for ages, and after the one I liked in Zara selling out, I started my search again and finally settled on this one.  It's not as high-waisted as I would have liked it to be so I can't say that I've finished seeking for the perfect one, but it was so cheap that I can't really complain.  I do like the split on each side, too.  I think that this makes the skirt versatile as you can also adapt it to work in your spring/summer wardrobe too.  Today I decided to amp up the rockstar look and pair it with this grey tee, a studded leather jacket (standard) and these round sunglasses, which were an impulse buy when I saw them on the rack for a whole two pounds.
I kept jewellery to a minimum, as in I didn't really wear any, to give off the impression that I had simply just thrown this outfit on.  It's so effortless, dahling.  I can't get enough of this berry coloured lipstick from Topshop, if you buy any make-up this season, I suggest a lipstick of a similar colour.  I didn't even wear lippie a few months ago but since purchasing this one I am a convert.  Looks great with an all-black ensemble and is the perfect way to glam up any look.
I've had a longish day at uni and now I just feel hungry and ready to chill, so will be making a ridiculously massive portion of pasta once I've finished writing this, drooool.
I bought the new Rihanna album today on my lunch break, I've listened through it once so I don't really know any of the songs yet.  I was hoping to have listened to it numerous times by now but I can't figure out how to get the songs from my CD on to my MP3, it's not as simple as I thought it would be... D'oh.  You might know she's touring next year so I'm hoping to get some tickets which are on sale tomorrow.  And I'm not jealous of anyone who's seeing her tonight, not jealous at all...
Happy Monday!
