Collective Mini-Haul: My Recent Purchases

I haven't been on a big shopping trip lately; instead I have gathered a few bits and pieces that I have seen around the shops. 
 
I saw this chunky knit cardigan a few weeks ago in the Original Factory Shop, but didn't buy it until the other day. I think if you can't get a certain item of clothing out of your head, then it's a sign you should go back and buy it! That was definitely the case with this cardigan, and there was only one left in my size when I went back for it. It was £18 and is so thick and snuggly, but I haven't had a proper chance to wear it yet as the weather has still been quite warm. It is 100% acrylic and it has soft suede-effect patches on the elbows.
 
 
 
 
I also couldn't stop thinking about these desert style boots which I had seen in the same shop. Originally £25, they were reduced to £15, and as there weren't many pairs left I thought I should buy them. They are faux-suede and have a chunky heel. I am looking forward to wearing them with tights, dresses and cardigans when it gets a little colder.
 
 
Also from the Factory Shop are these black faux-leather dolly shoes. I had been needing a new pair of plain black shoes for work, but kept putting it off. Then one day as I was walking to work I noticed a flapping sound coming from one of my shoes - I looked and half of the sole had come off! I took that as the sign to buy some new ones right away, so I popped into the shop and got these ones, which were £6. They have a cushioned lining which is comfy, however the backs are a bit hard and have cut my heels a few times!
 
 
I needed some new patterned scarves as I only really have plain ones. I spotted this leopard print one in Peacocks (I love leopard print!) which was £7, and decided to buy it along with this blue butterfly print one, which was £6.
 
 
I am really into big earrings at the minute, and I found both these pairs in the sale in Peacocks. I can't remember exactly how much they were but I think they were each £2 or under.
 
 
I saw these cute socks in Tesco and bought four pairs as I needed some new ones. How could I leave animal print socks behind?
