Splurging on BLACK

Been feeling really low again recently, which means more impromptu shopping sprees. Ugh, I'm useless! I wish internet shopping wasn't a thing, it's so easy to get sucked in!


I also did a little shopping after getting my tattoo, which obviously means changing-room outfit selfies! I think my Death By Disco Straps Skater Dress is one of my favourites, so easy to wear! And coordinates with my bloody tattoo!


Here is my little Primark haul. I accidentally tried on the sheer shiny top in a 6 (I thought it was an S) & it wasn't super tiny, so I risked an 8. Yet to try it on yet though! The cardigan is so soft, and the other things are beachwear that I intend on just wearing. Could have done with a smaller size for those, but they were out of stock (I swear Primark sizing has gotten bigger).


This is an early birthday present from mum which I had to buy myself, a cheapie rose perfume from M&S. It was discounted for Valentine's Day too, so it was only £4.80 for 30ml. Had I realised this beforehand I'd have gotten the 100ml. It smells yummy, but the bottle is super boring.


When I got home after going over Rob's house, I found my first surprise gift from a fellow Sharkie - some yummy tea and a Finn plush, aahhhh! ♥


My New Look order arrived a few days ago too. I ordered the bralet in 2 sizes, and predictably the 10 fits more comfortably but has super saggy cups so I'm keeping the 8 and hoping I can shift some flab from my ribs. The strap detailing on both sides is so awesome though, and I love that my piercings peek through the lace! The rings & tights were sales cheapies, hoping to accessorise more this year as I'm rubbish!


Next is my Urban Outfitters order. Sadly I will be returning this bralet too. I ordered an M and again the cups are too big, even though the rest fits nicely. I guess I could wear a super padded bra under it, but I am a C/D cup? The stock photo it is being worn as actual bra? Wtf? Like I know I look flat but still. It looks cheaper than I'd hoped anyway though. But I should get good use from the tattoo choker as I wear my plain one all the time, and I couldn't resist naughty socks. I want to wear them to work a lot!


Asos order is up next (they sent me the right stuff this time!). I only realised when it arrived that the Primark beach dress I bought is almost exactly the same as this Asos one! The Asos one is nicer but is way too oversized, so I will be exchanging it. The fishnet thing is ankle socks, I thought they were quirky, and one can never have too many thigh-highs (how have I lived without striped ones?). The Religion kimono is something I'd been eyeing up for a long time, and I made this order as a panic buy as only size M was left (now sold out completely)! It was pretty expensive but massively reduced, and my grandparents are claiming it as birthday present so pretty win-win there. Not sure how I'll wear it, but I've wanted a kimono for ages and those praying skeletons are just awesome.

I think I've found my style finally though, and that style is all black everything. Kind of bordering on the 'health goth' bullcrap which is worrying, but eh whatever.

Now to wait impatiently for my Dollskill order!

More Black Milk, & Sales!

I figured I'd post up some recent buys since I'm being so slow with the wardrobe post (so much to sort out!).

First up, my most recent Black Milk order!


I placed the order a few days after the Cyber Monday sale items were put up, on the 11th of December. A lot of the things I was considering sold out straight away, so I just bought something random as I wanted to see what the leggings were like without paying full price. The packs arrived on the 3rd of January.


This skirt wasn't in the sale, but I'd been eyeing it for a while and it was only around £27! I really love it. The print is great, the cut is flattering (longer at the back so I don't have to flash my buns!), and I'll probably wear it a ton. I want to get a bunch more skater skirts and dresses, but they're pretty expensive for what they are (especially with customs (around £6 for this item) and £8 Royal Mail fee with every order!).


The leggings were a sale item, at around £32. I have no idea now why I chose these as I'm not a hot pink person at all! I'm a little disappointed as the material is a little see-through so I could see my pants through them =[ They're also too long for me, and take some bobbing about to get into as they're ridiculously small unstretched. You can't really see in the photo, but the sparkly print is multicoloured. I'm not sure that I'll use them much, but I'd probably lose too much money by selling them.


I also picked up the Gunter shirt a while back for around £33. I'm a little disappointed with the fabric as it is thin and you can pretty much see straight through it, but I still adore it because GUNTER. I also bought a size up as the site said to if you wanted it baggy or to wear as a dress, but it's freaking huge and still not long enough to be a dress so I wish I'd stuck to my usual size.

I had been tempted to buy more during the Museum Release, but everything I wanted sold out too quickly.


I also picked up these things yesterday in the sales. I wanted a matching underwear set but there was only one of each bra and only one colour of pants, and the blue bra was ridiculously small (and H&M sizes are crazy and make no sense!). Turns out the pants are ridiculously big too (they usually run small so I thought they'd be tight if anything, ugh). The set only cost £10 though, and it's so sparkly and awesome! I'll use them anyway. The fluffy thing is a £4 hip flask from Urban Outfitters. I hate that store as the staff are rude and I get dogged up whenever I go there, but I wanted it for a while!

Did you pick up anything awesome in the sales recently?

Urban Outfitters and y no me gusta

Yesterday I went into Urban Outfitters for the first time ever. I was hoping they would have Jeffrey Campbells so I could find out what size I am and thus order some Litas. No joy there, but I did fall in love with the clothes a little. Baggy jumpers? Denim shorts? Quirky shoes? Yes please!

I saw a few things I wanted but decided to leave them and think it over, and then go back today to try them on and decide then (taking lots of photos in the pricess, which are at the bottom of this entry bahahahaha).

Now today, I find my experience very different. Yesterday the place was practically empty. Today, it was full of girls. All were about 5 years younger than me and were dressed EXACTLY THE SAME AS EACH OTHER. As if that wasn't creepy enough, they all gave me the hairy eyeball the whole time I was there, and I felt very much as if I didn't fit in. Not very welcoming!

A pastel jumper caught my eye, and I was really happy because I never have luck finding fairy-kei jumpers. But it was like £60! The brand new Angelic Pretty dress I was wearing cost less than that. Ridiculous!

So I made my way to the sale section, feeling a bit bummed out and uncomfortable. Turns out the jumper I wanted wasn't available in my size. I tried it on anyway, but it was just too big =[ I tried two tees as well, but couldn't really decide on one. Also when I took it back off a huge chunk of my hair got caught in the security tag. I was so worried about breaking my hair or the tab! Would have been mortifying to walk out of the changing rooms in my bloomers to get them to take the tag off to free me Dx luckily I escaped, but my hair isn't too happy. The other tee I liked, but it was a little big. I checked back on the table anyway, and turns out there was an S lurking underneath something else! I hope it fits. I didn't want to go back and try something again!

But I emerged from the changing rooms (which were stupidly gloomy, as you can probably tell), with my coat now hanging open just to rub in the fact that I was the only person in the building who was uniquely dressed. I only survived that place because I've learnt to do my 'bitch walk' in such places when on my own. I put on my bitch face and swagger around as if I own the place. No one will mess with you if you have that attitude =P

I bought my tee, and the guy on till ignored me for about a minute when I was stood there in front of the tills, too shy to interrupt his pointless fidgetting with stuff behind there. Again, not welcoming. And when he did ring up my purchases, he was SO SLOW! Ugh.

After that I got the hell out of there, still getting glares as I went. Well screw you guys!

I'd like to say I won't go back there, but I'm gonna watch that pastel jumper like a hawk until it goes into the sale. ^_^'


Here's the jumper that was too big. I know it's meant to be oversized, but it just didn't feel right. There was a nicer jumper that was more red too, but they only had that in L!


This is the tee I put back. It was marked O/S, so I guess it's one size. It was actually a lot wider than it looks in this pic. I'm tempted to go back and get it though as it was only a tenner (ik still kinda expensive haha) and it would be great for Discord, Hallowe'en and for just lounging around in. I'm a little too short to pull it off well though. Thoughts?


Here's me in the tee I bought! Reaaaaaally baggy.


And here's actual one I bought, which was a size smaller than the one I tried.


And outfit shots, because I can. Decided to keep this dress now. Just found that you can make the straps longer, which should sort out my issues. If not, I can get my gran to add corsetting so the waist doesn't flap about so much.

Have a lot to do this evening! I am going to a meet tomorrow and I still haven't picked out an outfit (although I have already bought my lunch...what). I also need to shower, pretty up (nails etc), figure out what to do with my hair tomorrow, and other such things. I just want to eat and play WOW Dx
