January Sales

I'm currently rewarding myself for actually doing revision over the holidays (!) by showing you guys the purchases I made in the sales.

Shoes - £24 £12 - Next

Bra - £10 £4 - Next

Shirt - £30 £21 - Debenhams

Cardigan - £15 £10 - Debenhams

Me and my mum couldn't face going into town or to a big shopping centre, but there's a nice out-of-town retail park with a big Next and Debenhams which was more than enough for us two. We couldn't go on Boxing Day because we both work in retail and had to work those sales ourselves. 

As sale shopping goes I think this was pretty restrained, I only bought things that I had genuinely wanted before the sales, but a combination of payday and sales meant that it was certainly worth the wait. I love the cute car print on the shirt (because obviously I don't have enough printed shirts with collars) and the cardigan was for work which is a pretty boring purchase actually!

I've also ordered a sweatshirt from Jack Wills in their sale, it's been dispatched today so with any luck it will be here before I go back to school and makes me feel a bit better about the fact that I'm back at school on Monday. 

Beechway Crew £49.50 £34

The jumper is rather plain but I think it will look good over printed shirts with a skirt to make it look more girly, or worn casually with jeans on those days when I practically crawl out of bed and cannot create a more imaginative outfit. 

Have you guys found any bargains?

Jack Wills AW13

Like the idiot that I am, I signed up for the Jack Wills catalogue to be sent to my house. Why I did this I will never know, I can never afford anything that they sell, and it just makes me sad to know how many pretty clothes there are out there that I cannot afford.

I can only apologise for the poor picture quality, my scanner has done terrible things to the really nicely designed magazine. The inside pages are made from a lovely paper, like Company magazine.

First on my list is this gorgeous mustard hoodie. Although I am not as big a fan of hoodies as I used to be a couple of years ago (now I prefer jumpers and cardigans) I'm really drawn to the striking mustard shade and I think worn casually with jeans and a simple top, it would be very comfortable when I'm sat on freezing buses over the coming months.

Glendale Classic Zip Through - £54.50

Next on the list is one of these classic-fit shirts, personally I love the one pictured on the model on the left, and how it looks simple yet sophisticated with a pair of simple dark skinnies. Once again, I'm not usually a big wearer of this style, but that doesn't mean I can't start.

Highmoor Shirt - £44.50

And lastly we have this beautiful paisley print playsuit. As you may know, I adore a good playsuit: all the femininity of a dress with the dignity of shorts (although they are a pain when you need the loo) this long sleeved number would be great for autumn/winter parties and Christmas family gatherings. Why must it be so expensive?

Bewerley Playsuit - £89.50

I wish I was rich.
