Hello to all you fabulous people out there, I know I'm a little late on this topic but today I thought I'd write about the end of year/ January SALES
Today i thought I would tell you all about a few things about this years sales starting with what bugs me about them, then getting on to show you some things that I actually bought myself!
- The first thing that bugs me about sales is how the shops have extortionate prices for things that not four days later they have on sale for half of the price. For example this dress (see picture) I purchased from New Look for £25 saw it when I popped in yesterday for a cheap for a dress £15 yesterday - "sod's law"
- Another thing that irritates me about sales is how cramped it can get. I know everybody's out for a bargain but is it really necessary to push and fight for a few bits of clothing?
- Finally, it frustrates me when they do not have the changing rooms open and then tell you that you cannot take it back. I know there are some people that can just pick up things and know that they fit but with me, I'm never too sure! Sometimes I can fit into a 12/14 and other times I have to go up to a 16/18. It's just different for different shops so limiting me to not try it on and not bring me up really doesn't go down well with me.
Now! On a happier note; I'll be pleased to share with you some of the things I snapped up on sale in my local New Look, Primark and Topshop.
The first thing I'd like to show you is this wonderfull cream coloured chiffon dress that I picked up in Primark for only £7 which is outstandingly cheap for a dress like this. It is also suprisingly warm for a dress, I wore it to a family party in the week between Christmas and New Year and wore it outside and didn't feel cold at all so for £7 this dress was a bargain.
Another thing that I bought from Primark was this snood in a deep red colour. I actually bought it from the mens section in Primark after watching a Youtube Primark Haul (although I can't remember who's.. eek!) and it is incredibly warm. Anyway, this was £5 but it wasn't in the sale as I bought it at the beginning of December, so you may be able to snap one up very cheap now as we go through the last of the winter months!
I also bought quite a wide range of items from New Look and the first item I purchased was this cheap little dark purple pull over (although the pictures make it look light purple!) with gold rounded studs for only £5. I really like it for an around the house jumper but I think that the collar makes it look a little too tacky to wear out. I just think that it's really nice and I especially like the studs on the front.
The second item I bought from New Look is this beautiful in between bunswick and army green blazer (despite it looking black in the photo, sigh). I had been searching for a blazer for a while and felt that for £9 I may as well get it, even if I don't wear it as often as I'd like just for the time being until I find one in either a navy or a black as I don't think this will go with as many things as I'd like.
Another thing I bought from New Look is this beautiful Khaki shirt with two pockets on the front. I am a real big lover of shirts and felt that this for £7 would fill the space in my wardrobe that I had been saving for a new shirt.
The final thing that I purchased was this Hooded Sweat Top in grey for £15 from Topshop. I really like it and feel that it is warmer than the previous one I got from New Look for the same price.
So that's everything that I've bought in the sales so far, I don't really feel as if this years sales are as great as some of the previous years alongside the fact I didn't have as much money to splash out. So for now..
toodle pip!
