I mean, how stinking cute is this?? Only £2. I picked it up and then swapped it for some melamine ones, may have to return...
And check out this guy, I want him on my mantelpiece!
Classic design, so beautiful.
You can find it all online here, but I strongly recommend going in to store and having a look, and try to catch them when they go into the sales...well worth a last minute shop to open next December ;-)
BUT I wasn't on a Christmas shopping mission. I wasn't actually on any kind of mission other than wasting 10 mins of time before lunch...but I stumbled upon Matalan's active wear. And it's really rather nice.
A couple of years ago I went through a wardrobe clearing out phase where I was convinced hoodies were 'holding me back', something I wore at university and therefore did no longer belong in my closet. I know, I know, I am reminded of it every time I shiver! But on a day to day basis, this decision worked out fine. I have plenty of thin jumpers that I wear instead and on the whole I don't miss my hoodies one jot.
But all of a sudden, the weather has changed and I was getting a bit tired of walking down the high street to yoga class and being cold. I was looking for one of those zip-up hoodies that are oddly fleecy inside and almost soft-shell material on the outside?? I don't know what they're called but I had seen one in TKMaxx a few weeks ago for £25...
Anyway, Matalan have loads. And they're all cheaper!
Typically, I can't find mine online but it's very similar to this...
...except mine goes over my head. Only £18? Bargain!
They've also got awesome leggings...
only £14
And cute yoga tops...
for £10!
I know where I'll be headed next time I want some active wear!!
So yes, we did come home with a new 'smart' hoodie and we may also have picked up some new plastic Christmas plates and bowls...WHAT? They'd be sold out if I left it ;-)
