Anyone been to Primark lately?

[jenk1]

Anything worth having?

brown cord military style jacket for £12. Otherwise not very impressed with recent Primark.

Do you find Primark has a strange smell?

got a linen suit on Easter Saturday, but absolutely 0 else worth having.

Gap mid-season sale worth a look though - cord pencil skirts (for next winter with boots) £10 a pop.

Bought a nice waistcoat from there, but about 4 weeks ago. I usually can't stand it in there. It has to be a run in, run out job while it's quiet or I start to hyperventilate and froth at the mouth.

I normally only go in there for socks for me,and cheap shorts for the boys to roll around the park in, but I bought a lovely bead necklace with shells on it,a week or two ago,only £2.50.

A spotty scarf for 2.50 so that i can pretend i'm a trendy young thing who actually knows how to knot a scarf without looking like an arse!

My 15yr DD got a fab Military style size 8 Jacket for £5. It's great for teenagers.

fabric 1980's style belt, y'know with the flat buckle, for £1, linen mix chocolate coloured trousers for £6 and arse flattering jeans for £10!!

I brought a pair of jeans for £10... and a cream/white pair also for £10...
[whispers] (are they in)?

white jeans are IN, skinny, straight leg
Wear with ballet pumps or wedges (too cold to wear white yet though according to Cod)

Oh good.. they wouldn't have sold them if they weren't in fashion would they!

I felt v middle aged as everything looked like cheap tat to me. Too much limp cotton jersey, not enough cotton prints.

I rarely go there MI, but if you have a good look you can get some good finds

Tesco Cherokee worth looking at at the moment. Got some nice stuff for my hols. Cheap too. Filled the trolley with clothes and only spend about £80 on all four of us.

And george at asda for anyone looking for cheap kids clothes for summer, shorts and tshirts for £1.50

I've found lovely things in Primark before, including one of my favourite cotton print skirts. That's why I felt so damn middle aged yesterday at all the limp jersey.

They had some lovely linen coats last week. I wanted one in pale blue but they didn't have my size left

I bought a great pair of white pseudo-Birkenstocks - real leather. Only £6 - can't go wrong!

waswondering - rofl at 'funny smell,slightly combustible'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think the smell is the highly toxic plastic that most of the bags, belts and shoes are made out of!!!

I got some of those Birkenstock style sandals last year and they are fab!
