It's that time of year - share your sales spoils

[AmberNectarine]

Found any bargains?

Nothing yet.Had a mooch round the bags in Selfridges today.Why do they always appear so much less covetable when someone sticks a sale label on them?

Marylou I find that too and usually end up floating to the new in section.

I was on the Zara website though a few mins ago and it's just shut down whilst they're getting ready for the sale so will hopefully get something for the dcs.

Bought so far:

Whistles navy trapeze handbag - £80 down from £295
Anya Hindmarch black carker tote - £180 down from £650 (outlet, not strictly sale)
Hobbs black knee boots - £169, down from £250
Dune pale grey stilettos - £40 down from £70
Massimo Dutti 3 x silk tops - £40 each, down from £55
Anthropologie earrings - £27 down from £48

Hmmm, I didn't think I'd bought that much but apparently I have...

I like the sound of your grey stilettos Saurus. You've picked up some real classics there.

Jaeger bag, £99 from £250 - in fun orange colour . Also 2 Jaeger silk dresses, £99 from £250 ....
That's me done for the sales this summer !

Thanks Amber, definitely trying to only buy things that are not faddy...

Gonegrey Ooooh, which dresses did you get? Jaeger does v good dresses, and what a bargain!

Saurus: a gorgeous coral silk dress, and a multi coloured small print shift dress. Sorry, new to Mumsnet and can't (yet) do links. Worth becoming a loyalty member for extra discounts at sale time and free delivery.
Looking at navy blue broderie anglaise dress.... Very tempted oh dear ...I have seen it in store and it is very chic

Yes, Jaeger loyalty card v good. I had £50 of vouchers from the last mailing!

That's a good tip about the Jaeger loyalty card, will look into that, thanks... sounds like you got some great bargains, love the look and quality of most items...

Jesus Saurus. That's my monthly mortgage payment you've just spent in the sales. jealous

I've bought
Black toga pulla sliders in Harvey Nics £105 from £210
Dark blue girlfriend jeans from top shop £25 from £40
Two merino jumpers with silk cowl collars from Cos one grey and one black £39.99 each from £79.99. They've not turned up yet but hoping they will be a useful basic

I'm so classy. Neon geeks. New look. FIVE POUNDS

Heels. Not geeks

mystery I've had my eye on those sliders - love my toga boots!

Teal I have neon heels that were £7 from H&M, so i join you in the classy corner!

Carvela flip flops and sliders
Pregnant and uninspired - even by handbags

I've not done brilliantly for myself, picked up some gorgeous bits for toddler DS in The White Company (sale started yesterday) and even some jeans in Cath Kidston.

For me, had high hopes from the &OtherStories sale but only bought these black scalloped cotton shorts which weren't even reduced.

Also waiting on a liberty sun dress, reduced from £90 to £45 so fingers crossed for a good fit.

Waiting for inspiration to hit!

Almost makes it worth being at work today, a resounding hit with my colleagues.

Stunning bag Apatite

Thanks Amber. I spent most of a boring meeting staring at it yesterday I'm in love with the colour. Now I'm doing it again whilst browsing MN in another tedious meeting

I'm waiting on oasis adding more to their sales but I am like a moth to a flame with their newly added lines much to OH dismay
