Somebody
please take my card away from me. Save me. The sales are too tempting. I am
ever the sales sceptic (they’re usually rubbish) but this time around I have
actually been really impressed with what the High Street has to offer.
Here, have a
nose of my recent naughtiness:
ASOS bag: This
bag caught my eye ages ago as it is so me (I get through a disgusting amount of
cake). I was never going to pay £50 for it though so the 50% discount is a nice
touch!
River Island
men’s sweater: It’s way too big on me and I don’t care. It’s warm. It’s fleecy
inside. It has galaxy print AND a dip dye effect. SCORE.
River Island
shorts: After seeing Giselle’s post on DIY dip dye shorts, I’ve been keen to do
some DIY of my own. However I spotted these shorts in the sale and took the
easy way out! They will really spice up some of my black items of clothing.
ASOS shoes:
I loved all these when they were full price… but £60 for a pair of shoes?!
Honestly! Now these prices have been slashed, I am breaking my flatform
virginity and braving these scarily high looking wedges.
Illustrated
People blue glass tee: The pattern is dreamy and blue being my favourite colour
meant that it was a no brainer!
River Island
dress: Drop waist dresses don’t really suit me as I already have quite a long
torso so they don’t do me any favours! I couldn’t resist this print though.
The dress itself is so light – perfect for hot weather (if we ever see
any in the UK!!)
River Island
lace blazer: Hands up, I have blazer prejudice. I like them short and well cut.
Something about this long line one called out to me. I’m guessing it was the
lace… *lace fan girl right here!* Words cannot describe how amazing this looks
worn. This will also be perfect for weddings and other formal occasions.
So there you
have it. I have sinned. A lot.
But as Jean-Paul Sartre said:
“If I
satiate my desires, I sin but I deliver myself from them; if I refuse to
satisfy them, they infect the whole soul”.
Good old Sartre!
I'm the opposite and havn't seen much i like in the sales, but all your picks are GORGEOUS.
ReplyDeletei love the shoes you've picked out! :)xo
Thank you :) the flatforms arrived but sadly they're really ugly in real life which is disappointing! x x
DeleteI love the print on the River Island dress, and that men's jumper is beaut! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you :) the men's sweater is perhaps a little TOO big... but it's far too pretty to send back! x x
DeleteLOVE all the shoes you chose.

Still trying to decide if I can physically walk in the platform wedges! I feel like a giant in them! x x
DeleteOooh, gorgeous sweater ! I usually don't care whether item is too large or for men - as long as it feels / looks great :D
ReplyDeleteThose first 2 River Island items are my favourite, and lace dress aswell.
I have sinned too, very similarly as you! :D Oh god I don't even want to know how much I've spent on sales.. ;)

Indie by heart
Haha, I am trying not to think how much either! But quite a bit has been sent back due to sizing issues, so it's getting a little less expensive :P x x
DeleteWell it's better than buying
ReplyDeleteit for the original price
right! I mean, sales saves
your wallet :P
Nice pick btw, I have been
eying on that ASOS backpack
a while as well..
xx
Fo' sure! I feel cheated if I pay full price and then it appears in the sales. Some things are worth the wait! x x
DeleteI love all of these items! xx

Thank you :) x x
DeleteI've splurged so much lately too! You bought some gorgeous things, I especially love that RI jumper, the print is gorgeous. Things like that look better oversized anyway! xxx
ReplyDeleteTotally! Can wear it off shoulder this way too :) Am starting to think it may be a little TOO big... but it's too pretty to send back! x x
DeleteEverything you've bought is so nice (very jealous) I exspecially love the flatforms, lace blazer and rucksack.
