Life's a beach

The sun is finally making an appearance. :) The weather has been so gorgeous these past few days, and I really hope the weather lasts. The sun really makes my days feel tons better, and makes me actually want to get out of bed in the morning. ^-^


With the weather reaching around 20°C - or at least, according to the car - it'll soon be time for me to put away my winter coat, boots and thick cardigans and swap them for maxi dresses, maxi skirts and palazzo trousers; admittedly, I'd need to buy palazzo pants first - but hey, Primark have some good offerings at the moment!

My small collection of maxi dresses :)

The navy and camel one is the newest addition to the maxi dress family. I saw it on Dina's blog, thinking it was absolutely gorgeous and floaty. She said she had gotten it from Primark, but her post on the dress was last summer. On a whim, I thought I'd see if it was knocking around on good old eBay. To my absolute surprise, I found a brand new with tags one and won it for £25 - the actual RRP price of it last summer.
The black and camel one was £10 in the Bank sale about a year ago, although it's yet to be worn.
The black floral one was also brand new from eBay, and is part of ASOS's range. It was around £10-£15, maybe?
Lastly, the white aztec print one was an absolute bargain - brand new from a car boot sale for £2! 

My even smaller collection of maxi skirts :)

The leopard print skirt is a jersey type one from Sainsburys. I adore it when food shopping leads to awesome clothes purchases :) it was £7.
The black one is one I actually bought today from Matalan. It was originally £12 but I got it for £10.80 with my student discount, woo! It's a little different to the typical black maxi skirt as it has little pleats at the top of the skirt, which give it more of a feminine look. 

Maxi dresses and skirts are so modest, all whilst being fashionable at the same time; definitely hijabi friendly :) 


Until next time,
xoxo, Saima.
