Hot on the High Street

If like me you are all "washed up" when it comes to the high end, designer sales, maybe the item(s) you wanted weren't reduced at all, or if they were, they may have had a stupid percent off, or were totally sold out in your size, or possibly like me, (who has been in training not to make panic buys since I started this blog), you still went and bought something you are not sure you will use, well take a deep breath, and turn to the good old British High Street, as it may be time to fill those gaps in your summer wardrobe with some more purse friendly alternatives that will fit in nicely with your existing pieces.

I took a sneaky peek at phase eight last night only to find that a dres I had blogged about a while ago was now a fantastico bargainus £22! It slipped into my online shopping basket with ease!  I know its not particularly flattering for my body shape, but as I have told you many timnes before, I am a complete sucker for stripes, no matter what I look like in them!

Was £45 now £22.50

I also took a fancy to these navy shorts.  Not the highly covetable khaki or roll up leg style of the season, more a classic shape in a cotton sateen fabric that will look fab with my white see by chloe blouse and red/white stripe castaner rope wedges (one thing us apple shapes do have is decent legs, only trouble is mine are about as long as a four year olds!).

Were £35 now £17.50

Lots of lovely stuff on the site, wardrobe staples in the way of grey jersey tops for use whatever the season

Was £35 now £17.50

A breton top will see you through many a spring season, the nautical trend shows up on the catwalks year after year

Was £29 now £21.75

and it would look fab with the navy shorts and some ballet pumps, very madamoiselle!

If you haven't bought one yet, Maxi Dresses are going nowhere, they have been around for almost as many summer seasons as wedges have, and seem to have become a permanent fixture in our wardrobes

Was £99 now £74.25

I just love the print! and if you are not a fan of maxi dresses, then the same fabric has been used for this gorgeous skirt, a real riot of summer colour!

Now half price at £24.50!

So would you go for the navy options like me, or the luscious summer flower prints?
