Sale shopping I find stressful. There I said it. I DO NOT like sale shopping. Rails upon rails to scour through, fills me full of dread. I haven’t always felt this way, there used to be a time where I would love nothing better than a good old Sale. The reason I don’t now, is for the last 3 years I have had a little appendage with me, that DOES NOT like shopping at all and makes the whole experience excruciating. Now you will normally find me in my safe habitat in the evenings, on my laptop,and the children in bed. I will scour the internet looking for bargains from my favorite labels. That’s how things normally go but on Boxing day I stepped out of my comfort zone on a promise of a Krispy Kreme by my eldest daughter who was desperate to spend her wages from working in the salon over the Christmas period.What can I say, Im easily persuaded!.
I was totally focused on helping her choose the pieces she wanted to add to her wardrobe, until I was side lined by this gorgeous Grey Longline coat. I instantly snapped it up as it was exactly what I had been looking for, for a while at a great price. A Grey coat is one of those staples items that just goes with everything. Put it with a great pair of denim and white trainers or stick it with a pair of leather ankle boots and a pair of culottes and its a match made. Unfortunately I wasn’t the only one that picked up this bargain and they have completely sold out. Have no fear I have trolled the net and found some great offers for all budgets, check them out below.

My January Sales Picks Fur Gilet, Navy Polar neck, Blue Fedora and Rucksack
January Sales Picks
I have finally got round to writing about My January Sales Picks. If you play your cards right and do your homework before you go shopping in the sales, you are guaranteed to get in and get out in one piece! I have been formulating a capsule wardrobe for a while, so I have a list of items of clothes that I would like to add and these two were way up the top of my list.
Fur Gilet and Black Leather Rucksack
Faux Fur
My first January Sales Picks is this gorgeous Faux Fur Gilet from George @ Asda (similar). It was in the sale and when I tried it on it felt RIGHT. I was looking for a Gilet to wear for those occasions when a big old thick coat would just hinder you. For example clothes shopping, I don’t know whether it is an unspoken rule that retailers have (it certainly wasn’t back in my day ) to have the changing rooms at a tropical mid 90deg! I regularly get hot and irritable when this happens and I think it just ruins the experience, especially if it’s valuable baby free time. So the Gilet is perfect for this as you can pop it on and still have the warmth but it’s light enough, and with it being sleeveless they act like air vents allowing air to flow freely. Great little piece that will take you through to Spring.
Fur Gilet and Black Leather Rucksack
The Rucksack
I teamed this outfit with a Navy Fedora from H&M (similar) , black skinny jeans from Primark, Bardot Boots from Topshop and a navy polar neck from Zara. Oh yeah and The Rucksack. This is my second January Sale Pick. This is such a different direction for me but it makes you feel alive if you try something that scares you each day. O.k maybe that saying wasn’t applying to bags, but to get the idea. This bag made me feel like I was a teenager again. When I bought the ‘baby home’ my husband and I had a full blown discussion on how we would have held the bag back in the day. One strap over one shoulder, holding by the top handle and my favourite towards the end of my time at High School, both straps on both shoulders! This bag made so much sense to me now as I had been using a more constructed bag of late, but couldn’t fit hardly anything in it. I have also got rid of the baby’s bag a few months ago and replaced it with a Peppa Pig, which the bubs loves, but I am not down with carrying a dressed pig about!. So I thought a Rucksack would give me enough space to fit my stuff and his juice cup nappy and wipes. This Rucksack is from Marks and Spencer their Autograph range which comes out with a few simple, well made staple pieces, and this is one of them. Real leather and has gold hardware, simple but effective. Sadly they have sold out but I have put a similar one here.
Marl Joggers, Black Top, Pointed Court Shoes, Leather Jacket and Black Leather Rucksack
The Fleck Marl Joggers
My final January Sales Picks is these ‘smart’ Joggers. I have been looking for these for about 9 months now, when I found this pair which took me by surprise where I found them. They are from Marks and Spencer Lounge wear! Yes they are Pyjamas!! They are a Fleck Grey Marl with a black waist band and black ankle cuffs. They are so comfy, obviously! but throw a pair of heels and a suit jacket and you are good for work. Put them with hi tops and a leather jacket as (seen above) or even a pair of shoe boots would work well too. I love these because they are so versatile. These are also out of stock but I found a great alternative here.
