OK , so loads of cheap crap but managed to only buy things I actually wanted , ie lots of longer length jumper dresses for £10 and this great coat for only £25.

They only had it in black, but it looks wonderful on and better than the picture of the model in it(never thought I would write that)

swoon - that is a gorgeous coat

not sure about the sleeves - don't they look a bit milkmaidish? Are they nicer on?

You'd never been to Matalan?!

It's the dawg's baws.

Great for trends and kids' clothes as well.

I loves it!

I'd look like a balloon in that coat, though.

DarrellRivers · 08/09/2007 19:35

Never had a store nearby until recently.
I found Primark full of rubbish when i went so had presumed it would be similar
I was wrong
Didn't really make it to the back of the store for homeware and children today, so another day.

tis gorgeous, i love the colour!

expatinscotland · 08/09/2007 19:38

I've bought lots of houseware stuff in there, too. Bits and bobs like picnic gear, stuff for DD1's lunchbox, etc.

Did you see the shoes? Oooooo. NICE and budget friendly and real leather.

I love the coat but I'm too short for it.

DarrellRivers · 08/09/2007 19:39

I'm only 5 2
It looks great on

expatinscotland · 08/09/2007 19:40

scattyspice · 08/09/2007 19:53
