A good days UK shopping. And yes I am male.
Decided as yesterday was pay day, to go and blow a little money.
So, armed with cash, and feeling dangerous I hit town.
First call, trawl arround the Charity shops, then to the supermarkets, then to the discount stores so beloved of the Chav element.
Net haul,
Claires house Childrens Hospice: Black long sleeved fitted shirt £3.29
St Roccos Hospice shop: Avenue Black Denim jeans, brand new with tags £2.50
Into the Supermarkets.
Asda: Punky sleeved shirt with some "patches" (bit like workshop shirt) Black £12
Pull over shirt, black, short sleeved, ribbed like a dress shirt (go well with kilt) £10
TJ Hughes: Black fitted short sleeve shirt £3.00
Black canvas jeans no brand £4.00
Tomorrow Tesco
Plan is, 3x Tesco value black brushed denim jeans at £6 a pair
4x Tesco value plain black T shirts
Need to take one of the shirts back to Asda as it is too small and exchange it (need to lose weight when XL is too small).
Need to find some news shoes/boots and trainers plus a black jacket.
I don't fancy New Rocks, I want something I can wear to the office as much as out.
Maybe a short cowboy boot or a Chelsea boot. I have a nice pair of heavy Rockwood steel toe caps for stomping, and some slip on "italian" brogues.
Trainers wise, I don't want to go too "cyber", thinking maybe a Converse/Vans or Basketball shoe copy.
I love raiding charity shops, Today I was completley gutted.
Two immaculate black Armani Collection suits, Mint condition £10 each. Only 42 chest though, and I'm a 48.
Still, I reckon I did quite well.
