"Wish I could wear that stuff now, too old!"
"Brilliant!" a third raved.
I tried Primark's designer 'Farm Rio range' on a size 16 body - I loved their colourful coords for summer
"Nice bargain. Primark is getting expensive now," someone else commented.
"Primark?? What!!" another marvelled.

However, others were more interested in the original price of the Primark two-piece.
"Primark is giving audacity vibes lately," one gasped.
"Primark has gotten quite expensive now but still same cheap quality," another said.
"I prefer New Look or River Island for the extra £ and last a lot longer." a third added.

Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget
By Clemmie Feildsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor
AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too.
For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect.
And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time.
But no matter what, Primark always delivers.
Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores.
While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less.
Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards.
With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.
"Wouldn't pay full price - since when did Primark charge like that?" someone else questioned.
"Great bargain, I'm finding H&M prices at least for tops, shorts, trousers are better than Primark at full price - and quality is a bit better too," another said.
"Just me thinking Primark is expensive now?" someone else asked.
"Who pays £48 for a two-piece from Primark. Usually £48 could get you a entire (slight exaggeration) nearly, wardrobe," another groaned.

"Who even pays that kind of prices in Primark now?" someone else raged.
While Primark is known for their fashion offerings, the home department is fast eclipsing the style section in terms of popularity.
And it was revealed this week that the first-ever dedicated Primark Home store is to open in Manchester at the Trafford Palazzo.
Primark have said the 11,900 sq ft, two floor shop will bring together "the best of Primark's interiors offering under one roof."

It will host an expanded range of homeware and lifestyle essentials for Manchester shoppers to browse and buy.

Garron Noone returns to social media after two-month hiatus

Garron Noone has made his return to the Internet after nearly two months off. The Mayo comedian, who tells his viewers to follow him because he's delicious, took a step back from the limelight after postponing all of his gigs this year due to mental health pressure, as well as saying that he wouldn't be making videos for a while. While Garron hadn't posted since June 17 (save for a few ads), the funnyman and singer has since made his return to TikTok and Instagram — with him coming back in true Garron fashion as he has a laundry list of things that annoy him that he wanted to get off his chest. Garron Noone has made his return to the Internet after nearly two months off. Pic: Garron Noone/TikTok 'Hello, how are ye gettin on,' Garron told his followers. 'I haven't made a video in two months, so I've got two months of complaining built up in me. Don't worry, I've written it down.' Kicking off in style, Garron said that the past two months 'have been far too f**kin warm for my liking,' saying that while he doesn't mind it being hot or cold, he detests being warm, adding 'I can't sleep because my body's just moist — I'm not even sweating, my body's just threatening to sweat… I should probably move on.' And move on he did, with soup of the day being his next target; telling his followers 'I don't want to gamble with soup. And what soup was it [when he ordered it]? Tomato soup. The worst kind of soup.' Garron took a brief break from posting to look after his mental health, and postponed an upcoming tour he was set to go on to next year. Pic: RTÉ 'Tomato soup is a sauce, not a soup, you're not fooling me.' He then went on to give out about how he lost a triple word score in Scrabble because the word he wanted to use (which we, unfortunately, can't repeat here) wasn't a 'valid word' before saying that he was running out of time but to follow him because 'I'm delicious.' People were delighted at Garron's return to the site, with one person commenting 'the return of the Irish king.' Garron has been open about his mental health struggles in the past, including a bout of agoraphobia for over a decade. Pic: Facebook 'Looking younger,' Jedward added, while others took him to task over his views on tomato soup; with one commenting 'grilled cheese and tomato soup is a classic,' while another added 'I normally agree with you but tomato soup is the soup of the gods.' Back in July, Garron announced that his upcoming tour was postponed until next year, admitting that it 'isn't possible' to do them 'at this time.' Garron has previously been very open with his mental health and how he battled Agorophobia — a condition that left him housebound — for a decade. In his statement, Garron said his struggles had 'gotten to a point' where he needs to put 'all of my energy into getting back on track.' 'I'm disappointed that I'm not going to be able to see you all, but, hopefully I will see you in 2026 for the rescheduled shows,' Garron said. 'All tickets remain valid for each reschedules show, if you would prefer a refund, please contact your ticket provider. 'If it was possible I would love to do them, but I have to accept that it isn't possible at this time.' He added that his social media break will 'also likely be a bit longer than I had first hoped,' clarifying that he would have some sponsored posts released in the foreseeable. 'Hopefully, it won't be too long after that until I'm back,' he said at the time. 'Until I see ye again, Stay Delicious.'
