Co-Ord: Primark / Crop Top: Topshop / Necklace: Primark / Shoes: eBay
Get out the banners and assemble the marching band, for this is worthy of a celebration – I finally got my hands on a co-ord! Despite my local Primark being masters of uselessness and not having any of their matching pieces together, as soon as I saw this jacket I was on a mission to track down the co-ordinating shorts that I knew existed. Ten minutes later I was on my hands and knees, ignoring the barging I was getting from surrounding pushchairs and rooting along the bottom rail in search of my size as I had finally tracked them down.
This co-ord makes me feel like a mixture of Cher from Clueless and some sort of football hooligan (I know, way harsh Tai). The bomber jacket top adds a very casual dimension, making the co-ord lie somewhere between a short suit and a cut-off shellsuit. It’s kind of odd, but I kind of definitely like it.
ALSO, can I draw some attention to my mighty fine new necklace, also from Primark? I’m going to be posting a haul either tomorrow or the day after (or maybe even the day after that – but definitely some time this millennium, hold tight) of a few the other bits I got on my Primark shopping trip so I won’t bang on about it too much. I just want you to be aware it exists and I love it.
The jacket was £15 and the shorts were £10, meaning this whole co-ord is a mere £25 (watch out Carol Vordermon). That is an absolute snip as for something similar in Topshop you’d easily be looking at probably three times that. The necklace was only £4, which was good as I think Primark have been getting a bit carried away with their jewellery pricing lately. I swear I saw something for SIX POUNDS recently; what an outrage.
Anyway it’s Saturday and we’re off to a super exciting event tonight with work so I need to go and piss off. BYE.
What do you think of this co-ord?

Lovely outfit 🙂 Very 90’s inspired.I really like the statement necklace too.xx
Thank you, I’m definitely back to my 90s roots aha xx
Love your co-ord so much – co-ords are amazing because you can wear them separately or doing which makes them super versatile. Also, you can’t go wrong with monochromes!

Hahaha that was EXACTLY how it was, I channelled some serious Monica ruthlessness 😉 xx
I am SO envious you found a co-ord in Primark I have been searching for weeks, and this one is HOT. You look amazing babe xxx
I don’t know why they don’t have them together, would be so much easier to track them down! Good luck in your hunt 😀 xx
