MEADOWHALL LOCK IN! caitlin are you shopping again?!

Ahhhhhh hi everyone! I'm so excited about this post today as i still cant believe it my self, so yesterday evening at meadowhall(shopping centre in Sheffield if you didn't know) had a student lock down between 7-10 which basically means you get discount off hundreds of shops, and at the same time its like a massive party in meadowhall, its so amazing i loved it! At topshop theres 20% off everything so of course that's the very first place me and my friend went!  
As i only came to meadowhall with £30 and £8 on my card i was kind of limited but i was deffo taking advantage of the 20% off so i though ill just buy the 'karki green peplum top' from topshop because that's the only thing i 'need' and i wont resist to anything else. But of course that didn't happen cause as soon as i walked in the shop these shorts just like flew at me; no idea where they came from but there they was.. in my hand and i defiantly wasn't letting go of them, it was like fate! I then took a while looking round topshop and tbh it was really weird, all these clothes were ending up in my hands and i have no idea how?! I found this lovely denim shirt, this cute little cream speckled tee, a lovely little bralet, and of course the green peplum top(which i originally came for) all in my hands! Off to the changing rooms i went...




(please ignore the awful quality of photos, i seriously need a new camera!)
 
Now I'm thinking i only have £30 and i seriously want the shorts as I'm still yet to own a pair of 'MOTO topshop shorts' so i ask the assistant how much they are because they didn't have a tag and she said £32! omg dilemma dilemma! I can afford them with student discount but what about the green top i want?:( and i really wanted the cream speckled one to because I've had this fab idea to sew some cute badges onto the bottom corner of it! OMG ahhhhhh! Hmm well if i get the shorts and cream speckled top it comes to £36.80 with my student discout because the tops only £14! So i can pay £30 in cash and the £6.80 on my card; but then i don't have enough for my dinner, ohh well i don't mind missing food for clothes! Anyway about the green top it was a size 10 and fitted ok but, well lets face it any girl would feel happier with a size 8 in the back of their top even if no one knew so ill just save up for that another time. Right yes I'm sorted!
So off to the till i go and as I'm waiting theres all the lovely little nail varnish's sat staring at me :( NO CAITLIN CONTROL YOUR SELF(another thing I'm now saving up for)! So anyway she scans the top and types in the bar code for the shorts, i show her my student discount and she then says '£16.80 please' I'M LIKE WHAAA?' shes like £16.80, so I'm like well okay!!!
I pay her with like the hugest grin of my face ever and then walk away and look at the receipt, The shorts came up for £7.. yes £7! I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT!
I was soooo happy i mean £16.80 for a top and shorts, wahooooo I'm no longer in debt :)
The lovely lady also gave my this adorable topshop tote bag which i love to pieces, its so cute!




I also got a cute topshop carrier bag which makes a change from the white and red ones, and i still have my pink meadowhall lock in wrist band on as i think its giving me luck! Ill be keeping it on for a while :)
Look out for lots of outfit posts, and maybe a DIY for my speckled top if i can find some badges and hopefully the green karki peplum top will be mine soon, teheheheh I'm shopping obsessed!
love Caits xx
