Sale Exploits

I vowed not to sale shop this time round. Which lasted until precisely 9:20 Boxing Day morning when I found myself in Newcastle city centre, or maybe even 7:50 when I set my alarm especially for the jaunt. Unfortunately, this habit, minus the daft wake-up time, continued steadily into the New Year. Whilst I still don't fancy checking my bank balance, and still feel a tad guilty, I'm overall quite proud of what I think (and hope) was quite effective sale shopping. So, here's what I bought;

Stella McCartney pj shorts - Fenwick - £55 £38
Admittedly, I'd have gotten through life without these. But having seen them when they were full price, and even though their sale tag was more than my last pair of jeans, I got all fluttery and couldn't help myself.

Top - All Saints - 40 £20
It's really a vest, but it works out as a cape style, cut-out-shoulder top too! Soooo, technically two tops for £10 each?

Sequin pumps - New Look - £15.99 £7 £3
I bought a pair before Christmas, sneakily, at £7, but when they went down to £3 couldn't stop myself buying another. Ideal for disgusting nights at The Raz!

Leopard print flats - New Look - £15.99 £7
I bought these waaaaay back in June and never had them off my feet. They're all shabby now and tried to buy them again in the Autumn but couldn't find them in my size. When I saw £7 I bought two of these too! Admittedly, slightly excessive.

Lancôme Star mascara gift set - Debenhams - £21 £14.01
Bought on my Beauty Club Card points, I don't feel so guilty about this. I buy Lancôme mascara anyway so this was a total bargain. I prefer Hypnose Drama but beggars can't be choosers!

What has everyone else been buying in the sales?
