A triple whammy from Primark

Another day, another reason to shop at Primark. I popped in there this weekend and picked up an array of goodies - including a scarf, a purse and a pair of sunglasses for the grand total of £6 - but what I really wanted to share was this fabulous trio of summer tops-slash-dresses.

From left to right: an Indian-style top (which I wore to a bank holiday pub lunch yesterday) for £8; a ridiculously colourful mini-dress with fluted sleeves for £10; and an almost Heidi-style top, which could be worn by the brave (that's me!) as a dress when the weather gets really hot, for £12.

The ridiculously colourful dress reminds me of something my mother might have worn in the '60s, if our old home movies are anything to go by. Or possibly something that Cilla Black might have worn... Well, it's so easy to get one's mum confused with Cilla Black, isn't it? And Lulu, I find.

Anyway, here's a rather blurry shot of me trying it on (it's first thing this morning, so trust me, you don't want to see me too sharply right now). And if you look closely, you'll spot Tess the cat admiring it, too. Apparently she's waiting for tiger-print to be all the rage again.
