Sunday Sale Shopping

Well not technically a Sunday shop. I order these at the beginning of the week and picked them up yesterday. But I slept pretty much all day today so I haven't actually bought anything today.

It's my favorite time of year at the moment. Sale time!

This was a bit of a New Look website splurge. My nearest New Look is kinda small. So I has a super small rail of sale clothes. So every so often I have a look at the website. After looking over nearly every item in the sale. A lot of things I loved but weren't in my size :( So I ended up getting 2 floral bodies for £3 each, originally £9.99 each. A pair of shorts for £6 originally £19.99 which I've had my eye on for a while. And a pink quilted bowler bag for £9 originally £17.99. I did need a new bag anyway...

All in all, I spent £21 and saved £36.96! I love saving more than I've spent. If it hadn't of been in the sale I would of spent £57.96. To be honest if it wasn't in the sale I wouldn't of bought the shorts, and decided between one of the bodies. But just the bag and one of the bodies would of cost me £28.98 so I did pretty well.

I've got a few bodies now. My love of them started with my white asos cut out body which was bought as part of my Lady Gaga fancy dress outfit. But that's a whole different story. It was reused as a Black Sawn inspired fancy dress later on. After that I realised how much I loved them as apposed to tops. They keep their shape much better and because I love high waisted shorts/trousers/shirts I pretty much always have my tops tucked in. So bodies work well for me. Also I have a pretty boring shirt for the night club. Which I've actually lost all but two of the buttons for so I tend to wear bodies or vest under it and tie it up.

I always wear shorts to the night club as well. Mainly fun interesting shorts which make me look less in uniform than I would. I now have a vast collection of lovely hotpants to wear to work. And these ones have just been added. Despite how much I wear them I still think £20 for some material, however pretty it is, that only just covers my bum is a bit to much. Although after wearing them just 10 times is £2 a wear. My mum always taught me clothes as an investment. It makes me feel so much better. And it helps explain things to my dad. I never tell him how much I spend, I tell him cost per wear. Or just outright lie because he'd rather I save my money.

I am super fussy when it comes to bags or purses. So buying this one without seeing it in person was a bit of a risk, but it paid off. I have a lovely dark brown Jump bag my mum got me for christmas, but as summer is coming in I wanted a lighter colour, as when summer comes my clothes get lighter and my accessories should also. My criteria for a bag isn't particularly bad. But I am picky. It need to be exactly the right size. Unless I am going away for a few days I never want a massive bag because I just fill it with stuff I don't need. But it does have to be big enough to hold my essentials without squashing them all up. Typically i am usually carrying around ipad, camera, phone, lots of keys, sos nail kit, work apron (Smirnoff kindly gave me my own), purse and a cardigan. I took it for a spin today and everything fitted nicely. I also love having lots of pockets. This one may only have 3 but they're in the right place. It has a big pocket on the outside of the bag, a phone pocket inside and a large zip pocket. Lovely.

Anyone else picked up some super bargins in the sales recently?
