Savvy Shopping Sales Haul.

I know that I often make impulse purchases and also that I sometimes buy things that I like, purely because I like them and not because they suit my body shape but that said, there is also the odd occasion when I do consider myself to be a "savvy shopper" by scooping up some last minute sales bargains when the reductions are massive, that are actually well thought out and will work for the new season ahead.

After I put up last weeks post 5 things to buy now, wear later I had already ordered the French Connection Parka (now out of stock), a pair of skinny black jeans from Donna Ida and the Isabella Oliver jumper featured.

In addition to this I couldn't resist the Lounge Pants, also from Isabella Oliver, which I had been lusting after for a while and mentioned in my "From School Run to Slummy Mum" post and I have to say if you are looking for something to wear indoors on a lazy rainy Sunday, these are of the most amazing material ever, so soft, I have never felt anything like it! Bring on autumn so I can lay on the sofa watching DVD's in these, bliss.  You can get an extra 10% off of Sale items from the IO 365 collection by using code SPECIAL712 at checkout.



I must add that the parka, jeans and Isabella Oliver stuff are all things I most definitely would have bought at full price as I know lots of you stick to this rule when shopping the sales.





Oh and did I mention the case of two last minute summer dresses? Thought not.

Orange Dress from LK Bennett.

White Dress by Linea Weekend.

Its a definite spending ban from now until, forever!

Have you shopped ahead in the sales or bought any last minute holiday wardrobe bargains?

  3. You will wear that parka to death, I have one form about ten years ago and I live in it in winter time, hoods are so much easier than tussling with umbrellas.

  4. Great picks! It's always so nice when you finally get the things you've been thinking about for so long.
    I did break my ban and bought the Zara jumpers and trousers under the cover of 'holiday souvenirs' lol! I did the same for my kids, just a few things from their shopping list which were on sale.

  7. Gorgeous stuff! I am in desperate need of a parka but I can't find one I like, they're all too hot or not waterproof! Also love the lounge pants, I could wear those everyday. Maybe I could sneak a pair in, for yoga & the school run.....
