A Clothes Haul Or My Spending Diet Is Broken But I Do Have A Good Reason - Honest

OK I promised you a haul so I guess your wondering why I have seemingly abandoned my spending diet this month after promising to stick at it and not go mad. Well the truth is I'M GOING ON HOLIDAY - whoop, whoop OK I'm not going until October but still woot woot. My and my mum had pretty much decided to have a staycation this year but we have both been so down about things lately we decided a nice break was something for us both to look forward to. The summer looks as though it's possible going to be a wash out, I mean how cold was it yesterday I spent the afternoon at my godparents and I was literally shaking with cold - It's July not January!! Anyway in October we are heading off to sunny Cyprus - I have been loads of times before and I love it - we've been to the hotel before but they have had a 6 million euro refurbishment over the winter so we can't wait to see what its like - Sunshine,Halloumi, and Feta bring it on.
Anyway providing I can manage to lose a little bit of weight my holiday wardrobe is pretty much sorted - I probably have enough swimwear, tops, flip flops and stuff to last me a life time, but still a few little bits have caught my eye :) First of all dresses I really wanted a plain black maxi dress and I recently saw this on boohoo

It's so nice its made of a lovely jersey fabric, with silver ring detailing on the strap - I am picturing it with some black flip flops, and maybe a long silver flower necklace I have - it's really simple and really easy to dress up and better than that it was only £15 - they had a lovely cobalt blue one which I fancied too but they don't seem to have that any more :(
I also showed some more ruffled top love with this beauty - exactly like the ones I got from Dorothy Perkins but it's in black and has a lovely white / cream removable corsage - that was £15 too

You know me I also love anything with New York in the design so I also got this grey vest

and these cute navy shorts

I pretty much have enough clothes now I think to pick a holiday wardrobe from but we'll see the only things I definitely want now are maybe a pair of grey jersey harems, some tan accelerator Maui babe or zhuzh , and maybe a media case for my ipod and earphones so expect these to pop up in some hauls in the near future along with maybe some other purchases....No this month has been an abject fail but I'm going to try harder come August as I am going to need to save if I want any spending money - so onwards and upwards I'm going to need some serious willpower for both that and to lose a bit of weight eek what have I done ;)

  1. I love the shorts. I'm going away too with my mum in late September to avoid the school holidays, it will be quieter and cheaper hopefully!
