The Sales Update

Two returns, one success to report back on.  The Whistles cashmere jumper from House of Fraser was a little disappointing.  I liked the colour initially then it felt a bit 'blah' on.  As much as it was probably supposed to be a slouchy fit, it felt large and too non-descript.  The quality was ok, not £195's worth (it original price) and due to the other factors, not £60's worth either.  



The Whistles dress from Asos also came up large, it was gaping around the arm holes and was slightly too big in the body.  It is a nice dress but was more formal/office in the flesh than I expected it to be and as I had it in mind for a wedding, it wouldn't work.  Lesson learnt - Whistles seem to come up larger on me (although some of my older Whistles items don't).


These Bobby dazzlers though - well these are keepers and have already been worn twice.  I am so pleased with them, they have fitted into my wardrobe perfectly.  When a court shoe is too formal (or cold!) and you want a smarter boot (heels play a part here) these work perfectly.  I've worn them with jeans and also with tights and a leather skirt so far.  I have sprayed them with a protector and removed them when driving!  

Boots; Selected Femme
Jeans and top; Topshop
This was my bargain £10 top mentioned in this post, from Topshop
I used a burgundy Coccinelle clutch and kept jewels simple (there were some semi-bling stud earrings going on under the hair though)

    1. Thank you Helen, it was a throw on job as my eldest had a play date so I only ended up with half an hour to get ready! x

  3. Your going outfit is just perfect and that top is lovely on you. It looks so much more expensive than what you paid for it - it must be the way you wear it :)
