Adventures of an Unfit Mother: Uniqlo

Show and Tell

You know how I love a bit of jewellry bling? I know, I know, probably more than I should... probably more than most...and definitely more than might possibly be considered tasteful. Welllllll, its taken me time, but I've gradually learned to accept, and even embrace it, because when you look at it, it's really a lifelong affliction of sorts, most likely incurable and getting progressively worse with age.

So it should be no surprise to you, that when I was let loose to shop on Oxford Street last Monday morning, I went a wee bit mad on the old jewellry front. Not,(blessedly), in Harrods or even Harvey Nicks, but in lowly, Irish born and bred, Primark (code name Prada), H&M and Uniqlo. Be still my beating heart, because when my eye fell upon these little beauties, I found myself actually shaking with excitement...shaking, I tell you!

IRL, I'm utterly rubbish at playing it cool. If someone says, 'Oooooh, I love your bag! Where'd you get it?'
Instead of calmly purring 'Oh this old thing? London, darling!', I gush excitedly and tell the truth. 'Marksie's sale, £80 down to (silent drumroll in my head) £20!'

Given that tendency to overshare, I just HAD to show you my newest little trinkets.... and I won't even make you guess the prices! And even though I can't see your face right now, I sincerely hope it's wearing a suitably impressed expression. If its not....I'll just pretend it is! Brace yourself for a blingtastic Thursday....
