Ok, So i am supposed to be cutting back on buying new clothes BUT...yesterday, i ended up going shopping - Bad Idea! It's the sales...they draw you in. I ended up buying so much i could hardly carry it, all things i 'Need'? Well, kind of...but not the amount i bought.
Firstly - it is hard work trying to find a decent pair of jeans! I have been searching for months for a decent pair of smart, comfortable black jeans...easy? No way! Anyway, much to my surprise yesterday i went to Wallis (high street shop) and had a look through their sale rail...there they were, a nice pair of Black jeans, so i took them to the fitting room and tried them on and wow! They couldn't have fitted any better and a bigger bonus - they were a size smaller than i would normally buy...especially being an in-betweeny size, i usually go for the bigger pair, but this time the smaller pair fitted perfectly. I am so happy..and the best thing? They were reduced in the sale from £36 down to £15 - what an absolute bargain!!
Then the shopping took off from there, and i ended up buying various things from different stores.
Wallis: 1 Pair of Black Jeans (I wish i had bought another pair now though, i will go tomorrow and see if i can get another pair!)
Primark: Lots of Underwear (lots reduced to just 50p!) (Don't you just love the feel of new underwear!)...I don't buy Bra's in there though, i like them from Simply Be online :-) - Plus some new socks, a pair of lounge trousers and a pair of ballet pumps - Oddly, this is where i spent the most - £45 exactly! But i came out with 3 full bags of things, so pretty good really!
New Look: 5 Tops, 1 Smart cardigan and 1 chunky cardigan
Millets: 1 T-Shirt and 1 Hoody
La Senza: ?? Haha - Joking! A nice pair of cosy flannelette PJ's
Dorothy Perkins: Cardigan (all sparkly - us girls like a bit of sparkle!) and a pink t-shirt
I think i spent around £140 in total, which considering how much stuff i actually have, i got some excellent deals - some of the things i bought were reduced by huge amounts - biggest bargains have to be the Jeans from Wallis (£21 off) and the cardigan from New Look (£18 off)...but everything i bought was reduced, does it make it justifiable? Hmmm...doubtfully! LOL
I normally love some of the things in Ann Harvey - they have a big sale on in there too, but i didn't get time to look yesterday since i had to rush off to meet a friend for lunch - so maybe a trip to the other shopping centre is in order, especially as the ranges vary from shop to shop - So, back tomorrow for a bit more retail therapy :-)
