I’m always banging on about how to shop the sales (which if you haven’t read My rules of Sale Shopping, read it here. For some reason, this year I didn’t take my own advice and bought loads of random stuff. Actually, I can explain some of the random shopping, I was a bit bevvied when I made some of the purchases. Observe…

Narciso Rodriguez for Zara gathered dress, price unknown & it’s not on the website anymore.

Drunk purchase no 1. The fabric was really disappointing on this. Totally see-through, which was a shame because it was a nice cut.

Zara Draped Pencil Dress was £49.99 now £19.99

Drunk purchase no 2. I think it was more expensive when I bought it, which is annoying. The fabric on this one is much better and it’s a lovely cut. However, it has a side zip and the first one I bought split before I even got out of the house. So that went back, but I did buy it again and I’m pleased to report that the 2nd one seems much more robust.

Hush Canon Heeled Metallic Sandals were £99 now £60

Loved these, so they are now a new addition to my shoe collection.

Hush Lenny Straight Leg Jeans were £75 now £38

Jeans are so hard to get right, and whilst they looked lovely in the picture, I looked like a right twat in them. They went back.

Hush Celina Wide Leg Satin Trousers were £75 now £38

These were lovely fabric, but there was too much of it. There was a pleat at the front and that made them just too wide. They went back too.

Abercrombie & Fitch Satin Slip Midi Dress was £80 now £34.99

This was another drunk purchase, but in my defence, I did actually like it before it went into the sale. I did have concerns that it looked like a nightie, but when I tried it on it was a really flattering cut. Kept it. Think it will look belting with some flip-flops and a little cardie in the summer.

River Island Purple Padded Sandals were £50 now £15

I liked these before they went into the sale too, so this is also a valid sale purchase. They have a very square toe, but for £15 I had to keep them.

Jigsaw Green Tshirt was £25, now £15

Love the colour and the cut. Kept it.

Whistles Black Leather Biker was £320, now £165

This was another drunk purchase, it felt gorgeous, but it was too short. Went back.

So, what did you buy? Any drunk purchases? Or were you totally sensible and stuck to the rules?
