I have my lovely friend Vikki to thank for this little purchase as we were having a conversation about dungarees when she sent me the picture above and said how about these! I headed off into Bristol today intent on hunting down a jacket I'd seen in Mango that I'd been hankering after for weeks! I wished I'd tried it on when I first saw it as I'd really built it up to be something really special in my minds eye but in reality it was a complete disappointment!! I thereafter embarked on a mission to find a peasant style top but no luck there either!! Primark ended up being my last chance saloon or else I would have been going home empty handed on payday! I decided to check out the boiler suit that Vikki and I had discussed and managed to find it so I headed off to the fitting room with 3 different sizes. I ended up plumping for the size 12 as I think it should be worn on the slouchier side!! At £17 this boiler suit is the perfect price for something that might only be worn a few times! For me this would be perfect for travelling in so I look forward to donning it when I go on my hols!!
It is so comfy....I would have happily left the store wearing it. In fact I changed into it once I got home! Must admit I was very surprised to hear that the hubby liked and the 7 year old daughter thought it looked very stylish....bless! I love it and it is the perfect outfit for these in-between Spring/Summer weather days!
As usual a few outfits from the rest of the week! The H&M thrifty top find is certainly already paying it's way! Worn here again for a birthday supper for my mother-in law on Saturday.

Is there an item of clothing that you couldn't picture yourself in that once you've tried has won you over?? Is this a trend you can see yourself indulging in? I know the boiler suit along with the Birkenstock Arizona's are a bit of a Marmite item that won't be for everyone....I wonder what other trends I thought would pass me by will find their way into my wardrobe this year?! Answers on a postcard please!!
Love hearing your thoughts and responding to them!
I will be back soon with the post I mentioned last time about one of my old favourite clothing haunts.....it is a work in progress as I have been in and out of the store to photograph stuff (been trying to do so discreetly) as the website pictures do the clothing absolutely no favours!
Wishing you all a good week!
Until next time!

It is amazing what you can unearth in Primark Jane but I think it's a case of being in the right one at the right time!! This was a good buy from them for what will probably be a one season wonder! xx
DeleteThe girl did good, it looks totes amaze on you Michelle, love it! x
ReplyDeleteThank you Sharron! I'm not one for such an impulsive purchase usually but it's always a good sign if you want to wear out of the shop! xx
Deletetotally suits you! x
ReplyDeleteThank you Annemarie! xx
DeleteHi my lovely!! Wow I just adore this look, I am so surprised this is Primark, the fit and cut looks fabulous and not only is it super stylish on you it looks amazingly comfy- I reckon you've started something now Missus, hehe!! I also love your red boots and how you styled them up and your other daily looks are top notch as usual!! We've had dismal wet weather here so I've been in my winter parka these past couple of days, boo!! xx
ReplyDeleteHey Sharon! I don't often go into Primark unless I'm in on a mission....I must have been in the right mood yesterday as I couldn't picked a worse day as it was half term and the place was mobbed! I'm sure if I'd had the inclination I could have found some more great stuff but I just grabbed the boiler suit and headed for the fitting rooms! Thank you for the lovely compliment about my outfits....I'm find it hard to decide to wear because of this darn weather! Looks like I will be donning a parka today.....it is horrible here today! xx
DeleteYou are rockin' the jumpsuit - love it on you! I bought a denim one from Zara but not worn it yet - maybe this will be the week now I've seen you in yours!
ReplyDeleteA x
Oooh yes Abbi....can't wait to see you in yours!! xx
DeleteI love your Boilersuit it looks great and so stylish. Super chic
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHi Michelle, you look amazing in your "boiler" suit, what a find, rather like the silver bag too. Very very stylish.

Hi Sue.....the bag is Furla! It gets a lot of wear because I always find the metallic accessories so useful during Spring/Summer! Thank you for the lovely comment xx
DeleteI could never wear a boiler suit, but all your other outfits are a total inspiration for me.
ReplyDeletethank you, Linda C.
Thank you Linda....I never imagined I'd wear one either! Lovely to hear you are finding some inspiration from my outfits! Thank you xx
DeleteI NEED THAT BOILER SUIT!
ReplyDeleteI can see you in the boiler suit too!! xx
DeleteYour red boots look fab with that outfit.
ReplyDeleteThank you....the boots are a brilliant way of jazzing up an all black outfit especially on a dull and rainy day! xx
DeleteBrilliant Michelle, you look fab although knowing how tiny you are, I can't believe that's a 12??? x
ReplyDeleteThank you Donna.....I do find the sizing in Primark is totally off! I tried on the Primarks dungarees just for fun (glad there is no photographic evidence!!) but the size 12 were skin tight!! That's why I grabbed 3 sizes.....you just never know! xx
DeleteYou are totally pulling off the boiler suit Michelle!! I have to admit when I saw the pic at the top I wasn't sure, but it looks so much better on you (& for £17 what's not to love!!). You're always so great at taking something on-trend & making it wearable! Love your black & red outfit too. Hope you're having a good week...shame the weather isn't playing ball!! x
ReplyDeleteHi Sian....thank you! I don't the Primark picture does it justice either!! Some very questionable photography going on there!! It's much nicer in the flesh!!
DeleteHope you are having a good week too in this typical half term weather! xx
I can't believe you even make this look amazing, Michelle. Looking super stylish as always. Lynne x
ReplyDeleteBless you Lynne! Thanks so much for the lovely compliment! xx
DeleteWell that was a bit of a curveball - I wasn't expecting to see a boiler suit at all. I love it! It works on you because you have a knack for translating looks and making them very wearable. On a lot of other people, it would die a death. And I think it would make for a very comfy travel outfit indeed. Good buy!
ReplyDeleteAnd shame how the weather has turned again. I literally had a good Bank Holiday Monday and its been raining ever since. Pah.
Lol Sue! I think I have pretty much everything else in my wardrobe covered so I think there was room for a total anomaly!! At 17 quid there isn't a great deal to lose if it only sees the light of day a couple of times! It will be ideal for our flight which is in the middle of the night!! Chuck on another layer or 2, some flip flops and I will be good to go!!
DeleteIt is so miserable here today...looks like the wellies will be in order....never mind the parka! xx
You are rocking the boiler suit here my lovely. I do, however, keep chuckling as I can't stop thinking about the faff when you need to pee. Sorry for lowering the tone and it doesn't stop you looking fabulous. ;-) H xx
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly Helen, it's not too bad to bad to get in and out of....thankfully!! Now the jumpsuit is a different story altogether as the zip is at the back and it is a bit of a struggle lol! Glad to hear you like the boiler suit and thanks for the lovely compliment xx
DeleteYes, love it too, Primark does DKNY cool! The fabric looks really nice and soft, is it tencel? I was in our local Primark store at the weekend, but didn't spot this little beauty.......Perhaps the Cotswolds are deemed too tweed and wellies, for them to put it here!!? xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is like tencel....very supple type denim which is what makes it so comfy! We have a humungous Primark near us in Bristol and they are just about to open another store in Bath.....another great reason for a meet up in Bath!! xx
DeleteHa ha!! And my sis lives in Bath too, so could do a double whammy! xx
DeleteThat is an amazing find it looks fab on you Michelle! I need longer legs - I still haven't tried on any jumpsuits at all xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Keri.....I bet you would look fab in a jumpsuit! xx
DeleteYay!! The boilersuit looks fab on you, you completely rock it!! I tried it on in my local primark the other week but I think I am a bit too short, am gutted as it looks great on you xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Frances! I have to say this is quite long in the body but I'd have like the leg length a bit longer for more of a turn up but now I'm getting really fussy which I shouldn't as it was only £17!! xx
DeleteYou are the epitome of cool, that is all xx
ReplyDeleteI love you my friend.....that is all!! xx
DeleteI fancy a jump suit but am certain it would just hang in the wardrobe unworn! You look fab here - the denim suits you! x
ReplyDeleteI recommend you try this one....if it it's only worn once or twice, it's a really good price at £17!! It's seems to have got the thumbs up! xx
DeleteYou look amazing in that boiler suit, major envy on that!! x
ReplyDeleteAhh thank you Karen! Is this a trend you will be dipping your toe in? xx
DeleteWow - you wear it so well, looks amazing on and very expensive! Now those espadrilles - off to check them out, love them x
ReplyDeleteThank you Natalie! It's pretty good quality for Primarni!! The espadrilles are so amazing comfy xx
DeleteYou look fab in your boiler suit. My butt always looks awful in them so they are a definite no no for me.
ReplyDeleteX x
Thank you very much....I did pay the back too much attention but my husband like this so I shall have to take that as a good sign that it's not too bad from behind xx
DeleteYou totally own it Michelle! It looks fantastic on you! I've just had a jumpsuit nightmare & my friend has suggested Primani too! The nearest one is 15miles away but I can feel a 'day trip' with the family coming on! Ax
