Can anyone share their bargains? Its not even about cost so much, as just an array of nice stylish items. Loved the flat shoes thread! Im looking especially for colourful or interesting flats. Maybe some jewelry. Any nice tops for coming into the spring. Great woolly jumpers and the like.

Wizzywig lots of nice things on the Oasis site 75% off plus extra 20% using app. That top is very 70s I love the balloon sleeves. Colour I thought might like nice with my colouring auburn hair brown eyes. I haven't tried it on yet though

I only bought these pyjamas

And a Hush belt and leggings.

That's it. It's unheard of for me to buy so little in the sales but nothing has really caught my attention this time 🤷🏻‍♀️

ToykotoLosAngeles · 02/01/2022 20:35

I bought this White Stuff jumper and a Trespass Clea parka. £40 each. I was bought a Longchamp backpack for Christmas and got some Converse early December so I don't need anything shoe or bag wise. I think I'm done which feels a bit anticlimactic.

Love this thread. Great to have a nosey at other people's bargains! Cheers to @Northernlurker - I've ordered a pottering robe for an imminent birthday gift I was struggling with x

I wasn’t too impressed with the sales overall today but I did buy two pairs of Levi’s both half price from John Lewis. They fit really nicely if I say so myself and also really soft which I wasn’t expecting. I don’t think I have worn Levi’s since the 80s in their heyday.

Lunenburger · 03/01/2022 00:02

@Babymamamama would you be able to link.

We have recently lost our John Lewis so I can now only order online. Desperate for some new jeans and used to love Levis

Babymamamama · 03/01/2022 00:45

Sorry I don’t know how to link but I got the 724 high rise straight jeans in black cloud and the Levi’s 720 high rise super skinny in a stone wash blue. I really like them both. Hoping they wash well and don’t go out of shape.

acatcalledjohn · 03/01/2022 01:47

I bought some basics from Mango. Other than that I bought this dress from Boden and this top from Oasis.

I did really like the Merrose dress from Seasalt but I tried it on and it look a bit old, plus it took me about 5 mins to get off. Blush

eztiger · 03/01/2022 06:05

This dress from Reiss

I've got a bright green velvet knee length crombie style coat and a wool magenta belted coat on their way - decided I need more colour in my life.

BangingOn · 03/01/2022 10:04

@JMAngel1 I love the sound of coat, do you mind sharing where it is from?

DarlingCoffee · 03/01/2022 14:34

I have splurged on a grey cashmere hoodie from
Fatface which I’m hoping to get a lot of wear out of

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/01/2022 14:56

I've bought a jumper dress, some khaki trousers and a faux fur coat, all from Fat Face.
A dress and a blouse from M&S.
Some Benefit lipsticks and mini Aveda hand creams.

I didn't need any of those things, but am pleased with all of them!

All I actually need is a black scarf and black hat, but can't find any that I like.

NeedWineNow · 03/01/2022 15:57

We went to Bluewater today. Got a dress in Massimo Dutti, one in Zara which I saw in the summer and which will be good for next summer, and a sequinned shift dress in H&M. Add in some Xmas cards and wrapping and a couple of bits from Boots which are ideal birthday pressies and that's it for my sales shopping. To be fair, I don't really need much, especially as I'm intending to retire this year and will reassess my wardrobe accordingly. I've become far more clinical about my shopping, and not buying things just because they're cheap.

BadSpellaSpellaSpella · 03/01/2022 16:09

A coat from Karen millen (is the sort of thing I love in) some liverpool los Angeles trousers and a couple of t shirts from boden.

I've beef
Been alot more fussy this year and an happy with everything

Chocolateteabag · 03/01/2022 17:32

ooh @acatcalledjohn - I've got that Boden dress too - treat to myself in the week before Christmas as I got the "C" so couldn't go home. It was my Christmas day dress and am relieved it's not gone down in price again

I have totally copied @LadyNell and ordered the same Paisley blouse, this black midi dress and this bowling shirt in black plus some other cheap bits and bobs that I will likely send back
I downloaded the app to get the extra 20% off - but had to search using my laptop as it's not very user friendly (or I am just old)
They seemed to have alot of summer and winter bits

Just bought this. And a few other things that cropped up on the thread. Need to stop reading this now!

@Chocolateteabag

I hope you feel better now. My dress has arrived tonight and I'm pleasantly surprised to find it has pockets!

JaceLancs · 03/01/2022 20:42

M n S sale is absolut

JaceLancs · 03/01/2022 20:43

No idea what happened there!
Meant to say absolutely awful - very few good reductions - almost no natural fibres and nothing in the most popular sizes

LadyNell · 03/01/2022 21:34

Chocolateteabag that's really good I hope you like it. I love the sleeves not worn it yet but I like 70's vibe. I like the dress and shirt you ordered too. I've not bought anything from Oasis in years I'd go-getter zbiut them but they do some nice bits I think and affordable for me on a limited budget

LadyNell · 03/01/2022 21:35

Oh dear predictive text and typos sorry I should check before posting....

Oh I picked this out on store just before Christmas, it's gorgeous! I couldn't justify the cost then, but now I might treat myself.

Milomonster · 04/01/2022 10:23

Sales are pretty shit this year, but I got some heavily discounted Laura Mercier make-up in Selfridges. I also ordered an absolutely stunning coat from Sea New York from the US at a discount.
