In for the Haul: Because Clothes are Needed (Originally posted on 5/62015)

I originally created this post on my original blog, Shambles to Rambles in WonderLAND, which is now defunct. I am posting it here because I like it. HAULS!

I really should update with better posts, but until I actually get around to doing a review, like I eventually plan to, I'll have to settle for dull ol' Hauls that everybody else within the blogging community does. Because buying stuff is, apparently, of keen interest. Hm...

About a Fiver, Amazon

I am a spender, I admit this to you all, and I like buying my random little luxuries in life - make-up, skirts, headbands meant for kids, sweets, bottles of Lucozade... things that are maybe not so necessary in life, but also things that seem to keep me smiling. I like these things, and sadly, they cost money. Then again, what doesn't these days? Air. dear readers. Air.

In general, however, I am not a big clothes buyer. I mean, I buy them, yes, but not as much as I do other things. Clothes are necessary, otherwise I would be breaking the law, but I also find them to be frivolous in comparison to sweet treats or food of some kind. Yes, I buy clothes, mostly when something is coming up (an interview, or possibly a nice event) or when I actually need new clothes, or in this case, because I needed another pair of suitable shoes for the summer, and a suitable dress and shirt, too. It's hot outside, and by lordeh, I don't want to walk around wearing tights and a rather thick dress like I did the day before whilst the sun is beating down on me with its lovely glare of rays and light.

It was unbearable, actually, and I just wanted to strip in the middle of town. Not that I did, because again, kind of illegal and also rather rude. So, yeah.

Oh, and a few days before I bought all these clothes, I actually received Fairest from the Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer in the mail. So I'm randomly adding that to my haul. Cause BOOKS!

Maxi Dress from Primark, £10

 Anywhoo, moving on, I bought what will be my first-ever Maxi dress! And honestly, it reminds me of the blue willow patterned plates and teapots my mother collects. I like the pattern, and it's because it reminded me of the blue willow design that I actually bought it. It's pretty, it looks like a bloody teacup, and clearly, I want to look like a teacup.
I'm British, what else would I want to be, other than a cuppa? Actually, I hate tea, so...


Anywhoo, I wore the dress already, possibly dropped my red-tinged lip brush on it about two hours after purchasing the damned thing, stained it a tad with red and cried about it for a good while before bunging it in the wash and getting said lipstick stain out. Thank you, washing machine!

The face of a make-up-less Brit...

 Argh, my face! Ah, whatever. Needless to say, I really like this dress. It's a bit long for me, but I'm a short-arse and besides, that doesn't matter; I feel like a princess, and that's what matters! Also, it matches my flower crown, and it is this lovely thin, floaty fabric that dries so damn quickly. The only problem is that it's see-through, so gonna need to wear shorts under the blasted thing...

Did I mention that it makes me feel like a teacup?

Butterfly cami, Primarni, £4

 I also bought this pretty shirt - both the dress and top are from Primark, if you must know - and it's really floaty and light, too, and much like my teacup dress, rather darned see-through, so I need to either wear something under it, or not give two shits. Possibly the latter will happen, along with some glares from the locals, because village folk aren't too well-receiving at the showing of skin or your bra showing through a top that's see-through.
 Is the village/country life, folks.

It's pretty though, and nice and floaty meaning it keeps me cool during this heatwave we had for one day. I likey!

Gladiators from Primark, a Tenner

And lastly, I bought me some GLADIATORS!!!!! No no, not the hunky kind we see on TV that we drool over, but the shoe kind. I know, I know, I bought some flat shoes about a week ago - well, the coral ones are good for summer, the lace ones aren't, and also...

I haven't seen these bloody things for YONKS at a cheap price. I'm buying these little fudgers, and I'm wearing them! I LOVE GLADIATORS!!!!

...*ahem* Well, I actually haven't seen Gladiators in shops for a while, and I haven't had a pair since I was, what, 16? I think my older sister nicked stole me last pair, so I've been searching for some more, because during the summer I like my feet to breathe and not be cramped up in dolly shoes. I also wear wedges, but currently, Primark seem to only stock the UGLY kind, and Jelly Shoes (why the f*#$ are they back in fashion? Please, enlighten me?) so, when I saw these in Primarni, I all but bowed to them. I mean, I actually didn't bow to them, I'm not that nuts, but you get what I mean.
To thing, I nearly didn't buy these, because I'm a stingy bugger, and they were a tenner, and even at £10 I squirm and think 'too expensive' - in the end, though, I gave in, and now they are paired with whatever summery garb I choose to wear this season. Mostly the Maxi dress, I think, it will make me feel festival-y!

Okay, so, that's all I actually bought, and this is all I'm writing. For someone who should be asleep, I've written a grand amount, and it's colloquial, too. Hrm...
  I need to go to bed, so for now, this will be all! Have a grand week, and hopefully, I will write something that is not Haul related next time! That said, this has been fun to write.

T'rah, ducks!
