Top picks from the ASOS sale

22 Dec

Oh god, I’m dying to do some online shopping. I need a hat but I have £30 to spend at Clothing at Tesco and I’ve got a few things lined up there. ASOS have a sale as do Dorothy Perkins. I can’t break my no shopping rule before the new year has even begun.

What I am doing is instead of spending £100s a month on clothes and shoes I’m going on those sites, virtually shopping and shoving stuff in a basket before grasping all will power and exiting the site before buying. Any money I would’ve spent would then go into my savings account.

I’ve been doing this two weeks and have £42.

As always, click on the image to go to the product page.

This gorgeous dress is £26.50. It’s super girlie but would look great with big work boots and a leather jacket. I love the peter pan collar.

£16 – I love how simple this is. It would look great with my River Island sheep cardigan. Black/gold is a great combo. It also has gorgeous sleeves, perfect for hiding bingo wings!

This Cheap Monday dress (look more like a top to me) has an amazing edginess. I’m not sure how warm it will keep you in this (crap) weather but it looks sexy. Pair with velvet leggings and big chunky boots like Dr. Martens.

£112 down from £195. Right, it’s as simple as this… I NEED these in my life.

This heel height and chunkiness is perfect for me. Diesel did something similar to this that has a gorgeous retro style, alas I could never find them in the UK and to have them shipped here would’ve cost about the same as the shoe. These might be my backup plan.

This is so beautiful

Balmain, expensive, silk, dress, chains

Everything about this is just divine. The textures, the colour, the shiny. I can see this with dark leggings and military boots. It might be a little out of my price range at £3500 – although it is discounted down from £14k. Balmain, I love you.
