Sophie Hawkins, a size 12 fashionista from Cardiff Bay, Wales, who recently showed off the best pair of stretchy shorts from H&M, has now taken to social media to show off her latest Primark haul, leaving many totally stunned.
After taking a trip to her local Primark, Sophie nabbed all things from a matching blue co-ord and an orange swimsuit, to a black mini dress and a beach cover-up.
But it was Primark 's new Gingham Capri Pants that left her particularly impressed.
Posting online, Sophie showed off her new fashion finds and styled her new £14 capri pants with the matching £12 top.
She accessorised the outfit with a pair of gold heels and a gold bag, as well as a pair of stylish sunglasses.
Alongside her short clip, the high-street shopper, who is 'addicted to fashion ', wrote: 'Am I trying to be Gretchen Wieners making fetch happen with a capri pant or do they need to be returned?'
The capri pants, which are decorated with an all-over gingham print, are sure to turn heads this season.
According to Primark bosses, shoppers will 'level up' their new season rotation and 'embrace warm weather days in style with these must-have capri pants'.
The iconic trousers, which first gained popularity in the 1950s and 60s, saw a major resurgence in the late 90s and early 2000s, feature a summer-ready gingham print that instantly draws the eye.
They are cut to a cropped length that's 'perfect for sun-soaked moments' and the soft fabric has a handy stretch to it.
'I need it all ASAP!' fashion fans gasp as Primark prepares to drop new summer range, including a 'beach bag of dreams'
As a result, those at Primark have described these pants as a 'comfortable option that's perfect for everyday wear.'
Not only this, but Primark bosses have also claimed that the cropped design 'adds to their cool and casual appeal'.
Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget

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.
And that's not all, as these pants also feature a 'flattering slim fit that smoothes effortlessly over your figure.'
Many will be pleased to know that sizes range from a 6 to a size 20 and these capri pants are now available to order on the website's new Click & Collect feature.
Fashion fans react
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ sostylishsoph, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 156,000 views.
Not only this, but it's also amassed 4,006 likes, 42 comments and 586 saves too.
Fashion fans were left open-mouthed by Sophie's haul and many raced to the comments to share their thoughts.
One person said: ' Pedal pushers!! Used to love those back in the 90s.'
