Shops on the Highstreet

I wanted to share a post to tell everyone what shops I like to buy all my clothes in, in Cork City. I am a very picky shopper. I only like dresses that flow. I don't really buy bodycon dresses as they don't really fit my body shape or most importantly the style I like to go for.  The first place I buy most of my clothes is Penneys or for British readers Primark. Penneys is great as their clothes are so nice but are very reasonably priced. I usually buy my shirt dresses, jeans, tops, days dresses and some going out skater dresses here. On a normal day going into Penneys, I would spend between 50-70 euro and I get between 4/5 outfits for that amount of money, which is very very good. For Autumn season, I am finding velvet wine and brown are the fashion trends again. Green is starting to become more prominent as well. I will share a shopping trip to Penneys on my Instagram very soon .

New Look is probably my favourite of all the stores I shop in, in Cork City. I buy most of my going out dresses and playsuits in New Look. Their skater dresses are so cool and chic and they go really well with the style I like to create. New Look clothes are much more expensive than Penneys. Polka dots were so fashionable this summer. I was able to get a beautiful polka dot playsuit in New Look. With the same 50-70 euro I would have to spend, I would only come out with 1/2 at the most. The quality is much better as well for the clothes that I buy in New Look and I usually get much more wear out of the clothes. I find I can wear the dresses all year round from New Look, where I change my clothes for the season when it comes to Penneys clothes.  I will share some of my clothes on Instagram very soon.

Last up is River Island. River Island is again a shop I go to for my going out dresses and some day tops and skirts. I love River Island's clothes. They are more expensive than Penneys or New Look but again you are buying great quality. With animal print in for autumn/winter, River Island are getting trends right with their dresses and skirts. I am in the market for one of their new skirts which again I will do a post on when I have gone out and bought them. With the 50-70 euro, I would only be getting one item in River Island but again it is worth it as the quality is fantastic.

I hope ye enjoyed my post on the high street shops that I like. My next post will take ye through the shops I like online. Any comments or questions, just write them here or dm me on Instragram @joannemariecronin. For now thanks for taking the time to read this. Joanne xxx

First Post on Fashion

Hi all

Thanks for taking the time to come and visit my blog on fashion. I decided to start this blog because I wanted to share tips on fashion. I have always loved fashion but since June, I have been taking a bigger interest in it. I decided to become a fashion influencer on instagram and started sharing my love for all things fashion. I am a brand ambassador for a few companies most noticeably so far Just Strong who are a feminist sports clothing company who have the most amazing gym gear. Over the next few days I will do a post on this company and tell everyone more about it. For now enjoy Joanne xx
