A PLUS size ‘curvy gal’ did a Primark haul and the perfect set of leggings which work around any body shape.

Jodie King is a size 18 to 20 and decided to hit the budget highstreet to see what she can find for cheap.

In the haul, she managed to get joggers, leggings, a jumper, sports bra, makeup, earrings, socks, and some scrunchies. 

Jodie said: “I really rate Primarks’ leggings, they are actually really comfortable and really nice quality. 

“Primark has got so many good things in at the minute, especially gym wear.”

In one video, Jodie models the leggings she bought which cost £11 each. 

She said: “I’m in my comfy era.” 

Jodie got scrunchies in neutral colours for £2.50, hoop earrings for £3.50, sports socks for £4 that you can “wear over the top of leggings.” 

She also managed to bag a £3.50 pink makeup blush, as well as a sports bra for £7, and beige jumper for £9.

But her favourite out of the haul was the “really good gym stuff.” 

Jodie, who bought the clothes in a size XL, regularly uploads her hauls and general lifestyle videos to help other people with their shopping. 

And she’s managed to gain thousands of followers from it, with many often rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts.

Talking about Primark shopping, one wrote: “I went the other day. I’m going back for a few more weekends. 

“I wish I was brave enough to film hauls here though. Love yours.” 

Jodie replied: “Just do it lol to be fair it was quiet when I went in this time.”

Commenting on a video which showed Jodie trying on her leggings, one wrote: “Great colours Jodie , they all really suit you. Need to get myself some of these now.”

Jodie replied: “Thank you, definitely worth a look in.”

Why is Primark so popular?

Primark is a budget fashion store which keeps up with the trends, as well as being affordable.

It is one of Britain’s biggest clothing retailers and for years it has been offering stylish women’s, men’s and kids’ clothing for a fraction of the prices in the rest of the high street.

The store is easily affordable, bang on trend, has clever collaborations, offers a wide range of beauty products, has back to school bargains, and is consistently bringing out new lines.

Shopping expert and personal stylist Lisa Talbot has revealed that there are four items that shoppers should always buy, and two to avoid.

She recommends buying their vest tops, jeans, underwear, and accessories and to avoid their knitwear and beauty items. 

Lisa says: “I would be cautious of knitwear as it can lose its shape quite quickly.

“It can also bobble which makes the item look more used than it has been.

“Prices do range from around £8, but just be cautious.

“Whilst there are many make-up dupes in Primark, I would air on the side of caution unless it’s an item you’ve tried in the past and have had great results.”
