What bargains will you be picking up in the sales?
So here we are, 2014, January sales are on and we’re thinking of treating ourselves to something special. The question is do we splash the cash and go for the all singing all dancing designer label, or be sensible and take the high street version? If we go for the later we may even be able to buy something extra! #GiftToSelf
Sometimes spending more will guarantee quality, cut and finish but sometimes, the high street version just looks …well…..better! Some garments are for the moment, for fun and you just don’t need to spend spend spend.
If you mix things up and wear them well who needs to know if it was £40 or £440! Quite often I’ve been asked if my little Black Zara jacket is Chanel, It’s all about having a good eye and wearing it well!
Take a look at a few fancies that I’ve found and decide for yourself whether to splash or not to splash!
When it comes to Jeans, I don’t care what the label is; I just want them to fit great. Hug in all the right places, be the right length and have a waist that fits snug without pinching anywhere! J Brand are great, they fit well and have good colours. These are on sale at Liberty. They are high rise and cropped so great with boots for winter and sandals in the summer. Dress them in the evening with kitten heel courts to show off your ankle.

For a similar feel but without the price tag head for Zara (one of my favorites for jeans!)
