This Week at Primark

Any of you taken a trip to Primark recently? I stopped by the Manchester branch yesterday where TK Maxx has been kicked out of the basement to make vast amounts more space for Womenswear. Womenswear now occupies the entire ground floor plus you'll still find underwear and sleepwear upstairs. Primark has followed Topshop (or vice-versa) in making Knitwear it's primary concern this season with both stores stocking extensive ranges.

This grey tie waist wrap sweater [£10 - expensive by Primark standards] was all out of most sizes, with ladies swarming round the rail fighting over the last few. It's just about the cosiest sweater i've tried on this year. The material seemed good and there's plenty of it - a longer length sweater cut generously, allowing you to layer underneath - would look cute with a fitted white or coloured tee. The blue cosy neck sweater [£6] doesn't look much on the hanger but exceeded expectations when I tried it on. I really liked the subtle puff detail on the shoulders and the neck is perfect.

Another popular option was this green cable cardigan which demanded lots of attention located on a wall display for everyone to see. I had to wait my turn to search out my size. The colour hasn't really come out on the photograph but it's really something!

If you want shoes then Primark has LOTS! Seriously, they've expanded their footwear range in a big way - one of the best places on the high street to buy flats (whatever colour you're after you'll find it here). These black platform mary janes caught my eye but I still don't know how I feel about synthetic shoes, regardless of the amazing price tag [£12]. They were very comfy to try on and look a lot better in real life than they look in these photographs. Do any of you have any experience of wearing faux-leather shoes?
