Thought you may well (or more likely, not, but that's fine!) be interested in seeing the results of one of my online orders. I'm still waiting on loads - I don't know what's happening with the mail at the moment, but I'm not impressed, gotta be honest! (Seem to have been waiting particularly long for asos & New Look - anyone else having problems with them..? I'm getting impatient!)
Right, so this post is going to quickly show you my sales purchases from:
These items were purchased with free delivery, & using a 10% off code - although, I was too keen, because now there's an EXTRA 10% off sale items.
This was reduced to £5! What a bargain! I literally could not buy it. It's grey - tick. A cardigan - tick. £5 - tick. Mine - tick!
This was £7. Figured it'd be quite a versatile purchase - working just as well with jeans as it would with a skirt for work. I like versatile things. They make me feel more justified in buying them!
Very excited to spot these babies in the sale - I've been after some grey brogues for AGES now. I may have even mentioned it on here. These are basically EXACTLY what I was looking for :) Got them in 2 sizes, because I was worried in case they didn't fit - & guess what?! The size 5 is too small & the size 6 are too big. Gutted!
Gonna try them again though & see which ones I'll be more able to live with... I will make them work. They have to! I need them in my life!
This beauty has gone pretty much straight to the top of my 'favourite dress' list. (If I had a 'favourite dress' list that is..)
I love it. The colour, the shape, everything. It's gorgeous. And really flattering on, which is always a plus!
My only slight problem with it is that it's too short for work. But then again, so's most things I buy/try on, so..! Can't wait to wear it - love it!
Ok, so that's the end of my Dorothy Perkins order - it was the smallest one I'd made, but it's the only thing that's arrived!
Just a quick shot to show you my current nail varnish & new necklace:
The nail varnish is an asos one - it's probably a bit darker than it looks there, the flash has brightened it up a bit.
The necklace is one I got from eBay - it's great. I wore it a couple of days ago & got quite a few comments from my students! My nephew (who will be 2 on Saturday) was quite impressed with it - he was looking through them & I was asking if he could see & he said "no, just pretend" - so cute :)
See ya guys - will aim to be back soon(ish! You know what I'm like! But I am trying..)
Take care,
Dx
That dress is stunning, I love the colour and the cut and it certainly warrants being a favourite dress.
ReplyDeleteI think I remember you mentioning grey brogues, I do hate it when shoes don't quite fit, but as you say nothing an insole or the like can fix x
LOVE the brogues x

Ooh nice purchases! I was really trying to avoid looking at shoes when I did my DP order otherwise I'd have snapped that beautiful brogues right up.
ReplyDeleteThat pussy bow blouse is a-ma-zing! I saw a camel coloured one ages ago that I really wanted to order off of the DP website but then found it was out of stock :'(
ReplyDeleteThat necklace is also too cute for words! x x

LOVE that purple dress, and your nail polish, and that necklace! I've had no money this January but have been dazzled by the sales - I get paid on Monday so am hoping there will be some dregs left for me. Although a bit scared I'll just spend my whole paycheque in one go!
