January Sales

12Jan08

I’ve pretty much avoided the sales so far.  I absolutely hate sale shopping.  Its just too stressful, and I just can’t be bothered to sift through rails and rails of rubbish in the hope of finding one gem, in my size, at a decent price.

Now saying that, I’ve bought a couple of things.  A beautiful top from Karen Millen, a store that is beautifully peaceful even in sale time.  I don’t have the energy to get it out and photograph it, which is terrible blogging I know.  It was way out of my price range, but it was just one of those items where you try it on, and there is just no question, you have to have it.  I wore it on New Year and managed not to ruin it, and am still absolutely in love with it.

I also bought a pair of black flat boots from Office, which can be seen in the previous post.  Remarkable practical for me.  I had eyed them up earlier in the season, but wasn’t convinced enough about them.  Then when I saw them in the sale I just decided to go for them, and I’m really glad I did.  But those are the only things I’ve bought.

Actually that’s not strictly true.  They are the only fashion items I’ve bought.  No, this January sale has been seriously DVD focussed.  I’ve bought 9.  Oops.  I can’t resist.  Now I’ve only spent £40 on them, so they’ve been absolute bargains.  But it is terrible.  Especially when I already have a lot of DVD’s that I’ve never watched!  And I really need to do work not watch DVD’s.

Oh well.  Sometimes theses things just have to be done.
