Glasgow Mini Shopping Haul!

Hello!

I mentioned the other day, in THIS post, that I spent a few days in Glasgow last week when a friend and I went to see McBusted! Whilst we were there, we managed to fit in a little bit of shopping time, so I thought I would show you what I bought.

The majority of what I bought is from Forever 21 because we don't have one of them in Nottingham, or anywhere near my home town either as far as I know, so it was a bit of a novelty shop for us!

Everything from Forever 21 was from their plus size range because I'm a UK size 16, which is classed as a plus size in the US, I believe. That was my only problem with the shop; it was very limited for my size and I had to try and understand American dress sizes (I ended up googling it - hurrah for google!) but I did love the clothes in their plus size range. To a certain extent it was probably better than shopping in their 'normal' range because all the clothes were catered to the curvier person.

Forever 21+ - £16.75

The first thing I picked up was this striped dress. It caught my eye because of how the stripes change from vertical on the top, to horizontal on the bottom (I think I've get that the right way round). I also loved the zipper down the back of the dress because, although zippers can be awkward to do up when you're lonely (like me), I think they add that nice little detail and, in my opinion, just adding that zipper down the back makes it seem like a dress that I could adapt to any situation or event in a day/night.

(I'm going to add in a little collage at the end of me wearing the clothes I bought too, because I know a lot of things can look different when they're actually on a real-life, human being).

I also have some really pretty shoes that I've had for a while and haven't really got much that they go with and I think they would look super pretty with this and add that pop of colour because they're bright orange and I mean bright orange.

Forever 21+ - £18.75

The second thing I picked up was another dress! I must have been in a really summer-y mood thanks to the gorgeous weather because it is not like me to buy so many dresses - I'm more of a jeans and a tee kind of girl.

The colours in this really caught my attention. I only owned one dress from Forever 21 before I went on this mini, little shop and it has the similar kind of aztec theme going on and it's one of my favourite dresses. I'd been looking for something like this dress too, when it jumped out at me. It reminds me of a dress I saw in Primark that I really loved until I saw it had part of the back cut out and I'm not that confident to wear a dress with no back, so I saw this and thought it was a great alternative. 

Again, it has the little zipper down the front but you don't need to undo that to put it on or anything, it's simply for show. It's also got a tie round the waist which I really liked because it means you can have it as loose or as fitting as you want it.

Forever 21+ - £18.75

These lovely shorts were the final thing I bought from Forever 21 because I really, really, really loved the lace pattern on them. I love the whole lace trend that's going on at the minute and I have quite a few tops which have lace on the shoulders or just above the chest, etc. so I thought it' only right for me to own a pair of lace shorts too! 

I'm super picky when it comes to shorts; I don't like the 'booty' shorts that a lot of people seem to wear these days but I also don't like shorts that are too long and go to just above your knees and I find it quite difficult to find anything in the middle, but these are perfect for me - I love them!

McBusted Merchandise - £20

As I said, my friend and I were in Glasgow because we went to see McBusted and there was no way I was travelling all the way from Nottingham to Glasgow without coming back with the most awesome t-shirt that I now own! (If you can't go to a concert (although I'd highly recommend it) I think they have an online merch store if you wanted one of these t-shirts).

It has a picture of them doing their signature McBusted pyramid on the front and then, on the back, is a list of all their tour dates and where they were at, on what day. Definitely the best thing I bought whilst I was in Glasgow!

New Look - £3.99

This little flower-power headband was the last thing I bought. It was a bit of an impulse buy, I'd already had my little shopping spree in Forever 21 so I didn't plan on buying anything else but we went into New Look, where my friend bought a few things, and I saw it as we were in the queue to pay and I fell in love with it, so I grabbed it!

I just think it's a cute, spring/summer thing that will add that little something on a day you can't be bothered to do anything with your hair (which is most days for me). The flowers are also in my favourite colour so I was instantly drawn to it!

And that's it. That is everything I bought whilst I was in Glasgow! I hope you like it and it's maybe given you some spring/summer inspiration for your wardrobe!
