Bargain Of The Week #6

I can't get enough of the sale jewellery in Topshop at the moment. I always use it as an opportunity to update my collection and save a fairly significant amount of money at the same time. These necklaces were only £1.50 each, reduced from £5 which I thought was very reasonable! They had rows and rows of similar designs all with the new brown packaging they've introduced (and I much prefer!) so I had a good ol' rifle through till I found a couple that caught my eye.

Necklaces: £1.50 each, Topshop

I think I've said before I'm a massive sucker for anything with my name/initials on it, so was obviously instantly drawn to this design :') On a small side note I also noticed a post on Stacey's blog this morning, and she's selling the most adorable scrabble style initial cushions for only £5 each! Probably, definitely, going to place an order for one later. Such a bargain!

One of my best friends bought this necklace for full price when it first came out and I'd been eying it up ever since... for £1.50 it was time to purchase!

What do you guys think of these necklaces? Would you buy them? Have you found any other bargains in the Topshop sale? I also picked up the most amazing collar necklace for only £4! 

Hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather we've finally been given the last few days :)

Bargain Of The Week #5

Pink Blazer: £19.99 H&M

Dress, Blazer, Jewellery and Shoes: All H&M

Clutch: New Look

I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked at the price tag for this jacket and knew I had to snap one up straight away. In all honesty these photos were taken a few weeks ago before dinner and drinks with some friends, but I figured I'd still share them as both the dress and blazer seem to be making recurring appearances in my day to day outfit choices!

Originally I was unsure how much wear I'd actually get out of this blazer as it is VERY bright and I'm usually a, stick to black, greys and neutrals and play it safe, kinda gal. It really has surprised me how easy it is to wear and it gives a great pop of colour to my otherwise boring outfits. 

I'm also in love with this patterned t-shirt dress at the moment, I just love how versatile it is. I've worn it dressed up with tights, down with leggings and even bare legged (!) when we had our mini heat wave the other week, and it was only something ridiculous like £7.99! So worth the money!

What does everyone think of this Jacket? Would you wear it? I think they also do a black version and I'm so tempted to get that one as well as it'll go with everything ;)

Happy Sunday!

Bargain Of The Week #4

Trousers: £14 Asda

It seems I can't get enough of Asda at the moment! I picked up these cute printed trousers and another gorgeous dress this week, and for £14 I only have good things to say about them! Firstly, they are so, SO comfy! I often have difficulty with trousers, I have pretty sturdy calves and thighs in comparison to my waist, and trousers or jeans never seem to sit just right, but these slid on like a dream ;) They aren't restrictive in the slightest and so much more comfortable than a pair of jeans! 

I've wanted a pair of printed jeans/trousers for a while but have been reluctant to actually take the plunge and buy a pair! Mainly due to price, but also the question of.. can I actually get away with wearing these, and pull them off?... This pair from Asda, I must admit, are relatively 'safe'. The print is simple and it's pretty difficult to go wrong with simple black and white, but this is why they're so great! They're actually much more versatile than I first thought, I wore them fairly casual with my studded Topshop pumps, but I'm thinking about wearing them with a chiffon shirt and wedges for a night out next week!   

Jumper: Topshop (old)

The only thing I'd bear in mind if buying a pair of these beauts is that the sizing does come up maybe a size bigger than usual! As the material does give slightly throughout the day. Other than that I have absolutely no complaints!

What do you guys think of these trousers? How would you wear them!

Bargain Of The Week #3

Jumper: £14 Tesco

I spotted this Jumper on a quick trip to Tesco with my Mumma and fell in love with it. I love the pastel tones and I think it's a great way to buy into a trend without breaking the bank! The weather is back to it's usual dreary self, so this jumper's currently keeping me snug whilst spending some time with the fam, however it'll also be great to chuck on to keep warm on cool evenings in the summer. I like that the sleeves are cropped and it's not too long either, which means you can get away with dressing it up a bit!

Rings: £2 for set Primark

These rings from Primarni are also another great way to buy into the pastel trend on a budget. They can be worn individually, which is how I'm wearing them today ;) or they also stack up and can be worn as one big statement ring. I think these are so cute and pretty, and they'll definitely get a lot of wear. I'll probably mix them up with other rings or maybe just wear a single one on its own. 

Necklace: £1 Primark

What do you guys think of this jumper? Would you wear it? Has anyone else bought these rings from Primark! I really do love them :')

Hope everyone is having a wonderful easter! Nothing better than having a little break from everything and having some time back home. Later I plan to eat my body weight in chocolate and watch some cheesy films with Mother :)

Bargain Of The Week #2

Cat Top: £8, George @ Asda

For this weeks botw I originally planned to show you guys something completely different, but I spotted this top in Asda and fell in l-o-v-e. I am a total sucker for anything cat related and have so many tops/jumpers/bags etc, etc, adorned with various cat designs/paw prints (you get the idea :') ). At the start of the year I made a vow to myself that I would actually wear clothes that reflect my age, which sadly eliminates half of my cat themed stash. This top however, fits perfectly into my slightly more 'mature' wardrobe, whilst still being fun and a bit different! The first thing I thought of when I saw the top, was this dress designed and worn by Victoria Beckham.

HERE

I love, love, LOVE the design and print of this dress but certainly can't afford the hefty price tag, this top is a lovely cheap alternative and has definitely helped curb my craving for all things cat. 

Trousers: Topshop (old)

Shoes: £32 Barrats 

Bracelet & Ring: Topshop (old)

Nail Varnish: £1.79 Collection, in Hula Hoop

 This top is great as it can be dressed up or down and due to it's simple and flattering shape can be paired with most other items in my wardrobe! I sense this top will be making many appearances throughout the summer months and for only £8 I'll be getting my money's worth for sure!

While taking these photos, this adorable, (very pregnant) little madam would not leave us alone. She lives next door to me and is always hanging around wanting fuss :') One time climbing through my kitchen window and coming face to face with a very surprised Murphy. I thought I had to include her considering the theme of this post, and yes, that is a tattoo of a cat on my ankle ..... ;)

Has anyone else bought this top from Asda? What do you think? Would you buy it? 

Hope everyone's having a fun filled weekend so far! :)

Bargain Of The Week #1

Skirt: £8 Primark 

I've been thinking a lot recently about what kinds of features I want to include on The Katt's Pyjamas. I can sit for hours reading other peoples blogs and I love how everyone puts their own twists on their own regular features like nails of the week, outfit posts, click lists, weekly portraits etc etc.. 

So today my first weekly post is born! 

Maybe a year or so ago, I could go into a shop and spend a ridiculous amount of money on one item of clothing and not even really think about it. Most of these items getting worn once or twice and then being designated to the back of my wardrobe, never again to see the light of day. More and more recently I've found I've become so picky when it comes to clothes shopping, I'm forever questioning my potential purchases as I'm so conscious the item has to be worth every penny, actually go together with other items I already own and not be destined to remain unworn with all my other 'on a whim' items from past shopping trips. 

Due to this constant scrutinising I have discovered something that I had never before really experienced... The thrill of finding a complete bargain. It sounds so cheesy but I truly love it, coming across something great for next to nothing. It makes shopping so much more fun and even better - guilt free. Every Saturday I plan to share my little bargain or bargains ;) of the week with you guys. Guilt free purchases that are actually worth it!

Long Sleeved Top: Topshop (old)

Black Vest Top (not seen): £2.50 Tesco

Rings: Topshop

Tights: £3.50 Asda

Shoes: £32 Barrats

So my first bargain of the week is this skirt from Primark, it's a jersey material with a fairly thin elastic waistband and it has a wonderful drop hem at the back, which I think is really cute and quirky and looks different from all different angles, which I love! The skirt is only £8 which I think is amazing as it's so versatile! I wore this outfit to a friends baby-shower and dressed it up slightly with black wedges, but it could also be worn more casual with flip-flops and a vest. They also do a version in black that I was so tempted to buy as well, but in the end I went for grey to mix up with pastel shades in the summer :)

Candles: £1 Each Primark

I can't get enough of scented candles at the moment, but they can be SO expensive. I'm currently trying to ration the usage of my favourite Yankee Candle, and eagerly waiting for the Glade candles to drop back down to £2 in Asda and Tesco ;) So as you can imagine I was delighted to find these adorable mini scented candles in Primark, for only £1 each! My favourite of the two is the Strawberry Milkshake scent, which smells delicious, but the Jury's still out on the Vanilla Frosting scent. It smells nice, yet, it doesn't. Strange. Still for a squid each who am I to complain?

Imperial Leather, Raspberry and Lime Blossom body wash: £1 Asda

I didn't originally plan on sharing this purchase, as the body washes I typically buy are usually whatever's on offer that week ;) But I bought this for a pound yesterday whilst food shopping and I love it! It's from Imperial Leathers skinkind range and says it is both moisturising and hypoallergenic. I use my exfoliating gloves every other day and with this bodywash a little goes a long way, using the smallest squirt and the gloves, it foams up quickly and smells soft, sweet and summery. 

So there we have it, first 'of the week' post :) Any feedback would be much appreciated! Has anyone bought the Primark skirt? How would you wear it! Hope everyones having a lovely weekend so far!
