Come Shopping With Me!

The sun was lovely and warm while I was driving on the motorway on my trip to the Bicester Outlet Village today.

.

Want to see what I saw?

.

(These photos have all been snapped on my mobile phone - I thought it was slightly less conspicuous than my camera!)

.

My first port of call was, obviously, here:

After I'd got over the excitement of the Kidston experience, I mooched around the rest of the village.

.
Right next door to CK was this shop:

These caught my eye, but they didn't have them in my size:

I can just see me on the school run in these ... a snip at £145 ($290)

(Eat your heart out Katy at IAGM)

By this time I was getting a bit peckish so I looked for somewhere to have a bite to eat.

.

I didn't fancy queueing for my lunch :

.

.

Or rubbing shoulders with the posh in here:

.

.

So what's a short, fat girl to do for lunch when surrounded by beautiful, skinny, rich people?

.

.

Diet Coke and a bacon and cheese panini, which, excuse-me, is just a fancy name for an expenisve toasty.

.

I popped into a few other shops, just for you dear readers, of course!

Spot the bored man in this shot!

.

At one point a young couple passed me.

He was dressed in a short-sleeve shirt.

Her (in an exasperated tone) : "For Pete's sake, just go into Fat Face and by a coat. I'm not wandering round the shops all day listening to you moan about how cold you are". That made me chuckle. I bet when they left the house she asked him if he thought he should wear a coat as it was a bit chilly outside?

.

And just because we don't see them nearly enough any more :

.

.

Did you enjoy our shopping trip? It didn't cost you a penny!

.

PS - Fabrics in CK have gone up from £8 to £10 a metre, which is still much cheaper than their other shops.
