‘It’s giving Zara’ gushes midsize mum as she bags perfect denim skirt for just £9 in unlikely shop
A SHOPPER has hailed a bargain skirt for giving “Zara vibes” – and it’s from a store you might be overlooking.
Ash Reid, from Glasgow, regularly shares her clothing hauls and outfit creations on social media.
In a recent video, the podcast host – part of the Girls Overheard trio – revealed she had done a huge Poundland haul.
The mum of two bagged a selection of beauty items, toiletries and even some homeware pieces for around the house.
But she also managed to pick up some new fashion buys for her summer wardrobe.
She said: “Pep&Co clothing can be on a similar peg to what I remember Primark clothing being like, even price-wise.”
Mum-of-two Ash – who wears a size 12/14 – nabbed a denim skort for just £9 which she hailed for “not breaking the bank”.
She added: “I thought it was really, really nice. For £9, how lovely.
“I just like the fact that it ties at the side. It’s very much giving Zara.
“It’s soft as well. It’s not a really, really heavy denim.
“I’m very much lacking in shorts this summer so anything that’s a wee bit more affordable and not breaking the bank, great.”
Ash also picked up a£2.50 white vest top and £15 blush pink shorts and shirt co-ord in a lightweight seersucker material.
“It doesn’t look like a £15 set from Poundland”, she gushed.
“It looks like something you’d pick up elsewhere, it does look more expensive.”
Pep&Co clothing is now on the rails at more than 600 Poundland stores across the UK with shop bosses saying it’s “now easier than ever to get your hands on our trending and affordable womens clothing range”.
They added: “Perfect for days out with the family this summer, nights out with friends, and holidays in the sun, Pepco’s range has you covered.
“You can treat yourself to a whole new wardrobe at a fraction of the price of other retailers.”
Elsewhere in store, a shopper admitted she was “gobsmacked” by some of the trendy items in the homeware department – with prices from £1.50.
“I am super, super impressed by Poundland at the minute,” Celine added.
“I’m not gonna lie, I feel like the things that I’ve seen are like half the price of other stores.”
