There has been quite a hype recently about Primark offering clothes that will fit us plus size babes. Now, I know their range has got better and some of the lines have a bit of stretch. However if you are over a size 22, do not be surprised if you can’t fit in their clothing.
BUT it is getting better.
I remember a few years back, you could barely find a size 16 let alone anything bigger.
But I know for sure, that their size 20 stretch t-shirts (available in a multitude of colours) fit this huge busted girl who normally fits a size 26.
So, what is the point of this post?
It is actually to promote their accessories, namely their earrings!
Now, I have a multitude of earrings; both original vintage and reproductions from companies such as Bow and Crossbones, Luxulite, Splendette and more.
And I love every pair that I have bought.
New Earrings
However, on a recent trip to Primark, I was surprised to see a range of earrings that mimicked the vintage style earrings I was purchasing. Also they were a fraction of the price that I was used to paying!
Green Hoops
Don’t get me wrong. Some of them are more 80’s than they are 50’s however for such a cheap price, I couldn’t refuse.
Here are the ones I picked up last week…..
Green Hoops – Marble effect £2.00. A bargain.
Then I bought two pairs of button studs. One in a blue/green mix and the other tortoiseshell. Just £1.50 a pair.
Blue Green Mix
Tortoiseshell
I bought one last pair that I felt had a vintage vibe, again at just £2.00 and a pair that was in the Winter sale, down from £3.00 to just £1.00 but with a definite 80’s vibe.
Bargain
The red ones just spoke to me. More 60’s I guess, however I am quite tempted to remove the gold link and large oblong section, just leaving a larger red hexagonal button; only time will tell if I do this!
I may deconstruct these….
For less than £10 I got 5 pairs of earrings which I know will match so many of my outfits. I am excited to show them off, I just need somewhere to go now.
So, what do you think? Is Primark the place to go for cheap fast fashion jewellery? Where else do you recommend?
Till next time,
