The sales took all of my money | new in

Every year after stuffing my face with Christmas dinner, I find myself glued to my laptop once again, not to get going with my uni work but to browse the sales. And for some reason this year, when I have the least amount of money, they were particularly good. I managed to find some amazing bargains and items that I could use to experiment with my style more.

Today I wanted to share with you those items before the sales wrap up. I had to wait longer than I had wanted to get all of my items but now that they are here, they have brought me so much joy and I cant wait to take the labels off. If you saw my preview of pretty little thing, I also got these not in the sale but using their frequently generous student discount. So aside from that, here is what else I got.

I haven’t made an order from new look in the longest time but there were some basics I wanted to stock up on and some items I wanted to try. I got this oversized maroon jumper full price, but it was only £15 which for something I know I will wear 24/7, cost per wear people.

I also got this gorgeous teal velvet bralette. I am so sick of wearing bras, atm, and I just wanted something that functioned like it but didn’t have so much uncomfortable structure. This is soo comfortable and just as stunning in colour in real life.

Now this jacket I didn’t keep but a great discount and fine as we, soon hopefully, move into the warmer months. This suedette biker jack was only £22 with amazing quality and sturdiness to it.

The last thing I got was in store and not in the sale and in the men’s section. Its this vacant hoodie, I just liked the Gucci vibes as supposed to what it was saying but its comfy and oversized and what hoody dreams are made of.

My most exciting find of the haul I think is this grey puffer jacket. I have wanted one for so long, yet I refused to pay £60+ pounds for such a seasonal piece. But this was only £26 from £60 and I ordered it straight away without even thinking. So warm and on trend and because of its neutral colour, it 

means it will go with anything. – except maybe an all grey outfit

To experiment more with my style, I got these oversized dungarees in the sale too. A little more of a higher priced item for the sale but again, really good quality, super comfortable too. I mean, I feel like an overgrown child, but I don’t care because I think I have some cool ideas to style it

I also got these boots and trousers but they are not with me, so I will link them below too.

The amount of times the doorbell rang, it failed like I had ordered a lot more. Some things did come it was just too ugly to keep. I hope you enjoyed this and let me know some things that you have picked up in the sale.

Pretty Little Thing review

I hope you have all had a great start to 2018. And if not, you have so many more days of opportunities to come your way.

Today, I thought I would do something a little bit different and give a review of a brand. With the sales season still amongst us (the sales have been killer this year) I made a little order from pretty little thing. With this brand, I had never even bothered browsing through because I knew things wouldn’t fit me the way I would want things to and I am not like the stick thin models they use to advertise their clothes.

But I recently discovered that they had launched a plus size selection. Although not that big, I did end up finding some really nice things that I liked the look of. I was initially sceptical because I wasn’t sure what the quality or the sizing would be like, but I went based off how the model looked in it as I had seen them on websites like ASOS.

This is the first and only sale item I actually purchased as I said, the collection isn’t big yet. But it’s a wet look faux leather tube skirt. When it came, it felt a lot cheaper than it did online and had less structure but was a really nice comfortable fit. However, this is probably my least favourite thing just because of how it feels

I then ordered a pair of trousers because I am still not loving jeans, but I loved that the stripe were horizontal/vertical (I never know which one) but they are the way that slim you and elongate your legs. I love this item and I think it will be a great all year-round piece which is a practical addition to my wardrobe

Finally, I got this self-love t shirt because self-love is important. I loved the Gucci vibes to it, not that that’s all I want from clothing, but it reminded me of a tiger t shirt I got from ASOS a while back. I loved that it was a little more muted than other designs I had seen and was a nice graphic t. Really thick quality t-shirt too. My only thing is I wish I had got it in a bigger size just because I like my things really oversized.

Overall, I am really happy with my order and would deffo do it again but as a seasonal thing just because I think that’s how I see the collection changing. Its very comparable to boohoo in that I think some of it can be a hit and miss, pricing is very similar and if you shop boohoo plus size, you will be the same size for PLT.

I hope you guys enjoyed the post and let me know if you have purchased things from PLT. I think this might be a new fave store of mine.
