Friday Frock Love: Hit The Sales!
#Janathon Day 8 – I Tried But I Failed

#Janathon Day 9 – On the Road Again
January 9, 2015Have you done any sale shopping this year?
I really can’t stand the crazy camping out from 1am on Boxing Day mind set, but I am a huge fan of a sale bargain. Personally I find a lot of my best bargains later in January anyway, once the hordes have died down it’s a lot more relaxed to wander round the shops, and later in January stores often apply extra discounts to remaining stock, meaning you might find your perfect piece for a fiver instead of £15.
Anyway, today I’m actually going to share just 4 sale items I’ve found on my travels, and that’s because they’re items I actually have in my wardrobe that are now on sale and can be snapped up at a bargain price!
Collectif Fiona Check Print Skirt £29.50 £15
A great check pencil skirt with a high waist and a bit of stretch. Now half price, whoop!
Boden Selina Dress £129 £23.22
Sale prices on Boden items fluctuate, but the leopard print version in regular or long length is a mere £23.22 at the moment. This is a good thing as I washed my version and shrunk it. I am considering replacing it, but by the time I have finished procrastinating it will probably have sold out. It comes in 11 different colours and 3 different lengths. I’m wearing the regular length here, but I think the long length would be beautiful as well if you want to cover your knees for a more vintage look!
Eliza J 3/4 Sleeve Ruched Waist Dress £130 £39
I can only assume this is a very popular style, because I bought this dress 2 years ago and it’s still available, I, however, paid full price for it, and it’s now reduced to £39 at House of Fraser. It’s a really comfortable dress, and the bodice and sleeves are made of a super stretchy material, so you might find you can go down a size if you’re normally at the lower end of a size range.
The Darcie Dress £82 £57.40
This is a really lovely flattering dress. It has pleats at the waist that mean the skirt it much fuller than it looks so skims nicely over the hips, but also flares nicely if you spin round! It also has ties underneath so you can hitch the skirt up shorter, which makes a rather good pumpkin outfit. I do love a multi purpose outfit.
Happy Shopping!

Ha! But it’s SAVING money!
ohhhhh, still waiting for selina to drop a little more in the pink confetti and since I got to return some stuff, I ordered the bertrice brocade dress to channel that Jackie Kennedy look of the early 60s.
Yeah, my hair didn’t need cutting anyway…(that’s a lie!)

Ohhhhhh! I’m a girl on a budget at the moment but…the dresses…so pretty! I particularly love the Eliza dress and the darcie dress. And really, I could be perfectly happy sitting in a beautiful dress eating nothing but cereal, right?! 😀
Totally! Buy a smaller size though or otherwise it won’t fit by the time you’ve finished living off cereal for a month!

I love a good bargain! But what I’ve seen in the local sales hasn’t been very exciting this year, so far at least – I’m hoping that perhaps a trip to my nearest city will change that though…
Great style, I like retro, vintage:-*
