Since I’m so old and mature these days, I try to stay away from “fast fashion.” But, even the oldest and wisest of us all slip some time, and I’m no exception. The other weekend I was with a friend when she asked if we could go to Primark. I had been once before and found nothing worthwhile, so I anticipated the same thing to happen again.
Much to my surprise, I walked out with two fabulous pieces – a sweater dress and a beige winter coat. Hooray to my winter wardrobe! I still don’t think I’ll be hitting up Primark every weekend, but I’ll make sure to check back one a season to see if there is anything worth picking up.

I wish I had gotten more coz they were good quality and a steal! Many of the clothes & shoes seemed too cheap but there were some items – sleepwear especially, camis, summer T-shirts – that look and felt like decent quality. I’ll go back

Kristin Bassett
December 23, 2015 at 4:32 pm (7 years ago)I do too, but you definitely have to be in the mood to rummage and battle with the masses to get the good pieces 🙂
