January means sales – and that means bargains galore are there to be had! What I thought you lovely readers might like would be a post with actual items I bought last year that are still available online and now reduced in the sales. I’ve researched all the items I bought and found the lowest prices I can for them, and shown them here with my outfit photos.
I’ve tried to include as much info I can: prices in UK Pounds and US Dollars*, if there are limited sizes available, if they offer international delivery (most of them do) and any colour alternatives. I apologise if anything sells out, but all info is correct at the time of writing (05/01/14). So be quick – go grab yourself a bargain!
ASOS Midi Dress In Animal Print WAS $81.67 NOW $57.17
Also available in Black/White. International delivery.
My verdict: A real show-stopper of a dress without the need for showing too much flesh – and I love the colours.
ASOS Brady Slim Boyfriend Jeans WAS $68.97 NOW $27.22
Also available in vintage wash with deep hem. International delivery.
My verdict: Really comfy jeans, and not too baggy/boyfriend style. More of a baggy skinny jean, if that makes sense – and less than half price!
PURE COLLECTION Cashmere Boyfriend Sweater WAS £159.00 NOW £95.00
Available in several colours. International delivery.
My verdict: This sweater is PERFECTION. So soft, washes really well and the perfect shape/fit.
ZALANDO Even & Odd Purple High Heeled Boots WAS £65.00 NOW £46.00
Delivery to Europe but only reduced on the UK site. UK sizes 5 and 7.5 only.
My verdict: For a high heeled boot these are unbelievably comfortable – my sister tried them on and her eyes rolled back into her head when she felt how comfy they were.
ASOS Trousers In Tartan Check WAS $63.52 NOW $44.47
International delivery.
My verdict: On-trend tartan but the grey and red makes a nice change from the usual dark colours. The waist is pretty small – I had to go up one size but the fit was then perfect.
SHOES.COM Naturalizer Riding Boots WAS £153.81 NOW £112.07
Also available in brown. International delivery.
My verdict: More super comfy boots – the leather is excellent quality and I love the traditional buckles.
SEASALT Floral Tincloth Mac WAS $188.84 NOW $114.95 (estimated using online convertor*)
Also available in two other florals. International delivery.
My verdict: I wore this in the pouring wind and rain for over an hour to mend our broken fence during the Christmas storm – I stayed bone dry underneath. Plus I love the floral pattern, and the hood’s detachable which is a bonus.
REISS Puff Sleeve Shift Dress WAS $300.00 NOW $120.00
International delivery. UK sizes 14 and 16 only (US 10 and 12)
My verdict: The sleeves of this dress are what sold it to me; the fabric is gorgeous and it’s beautifully made. Such a bargain at this price.
ZALANDO Even & Odd Grey High Heeled Boots WAS £65.00 NOW £46.00
Delivery to Europe but only reduced on the UK site. UK sizes 6.5 and 7.5 only.
My verdict: See what I wrote above for the purple ones. Mega-comfy heeled boots.
JOY THE STORE Louche Green Pleated Dress WAS $90.32 NOW $57.47 (estimated using online convertor*)
International delivery. UK size 16 only, but available in all sizes from Aspire Style (not on sale).
My verdict: I received so many compliments in person and when I wore this on the blog that I’d class it a winner. Beautiful, simple styling and a great colour.

Hope you find some bargains – and happy sale shopping! Let me know in the comments if you have your eye on any of the items, or if you end up buying any of them…!
Here’s some of the alternative colours of the featured items:
Linking up to: Funday Monday, What I Wore Wednesday, All Things Thursday, Three-Fer Thursday
*Disclaimer: All prices correct at time of publishing. Items may have either sold out or changed in price (up or down) since writing the post. Prices estimated using an online convertor were not available on the retailer’s website in any other currency other than Pounds Sterling, therefore I have given the prices in dollars merely as a guide.
There are loads of items I want, but a) I am on a budget, though you would not say that if you saw me the last two days… sigh. And b) I have gone off ordering from abroad. Too expensive, too much hassle.

Let me know if you get them, Lauren! C x
Can I love it and hate it at the same time, just posted a " Dear Coach ( the purse) stop tormenting me with sales" post, I think I will have to do a Dear Catherine, stop tormenting me post now, all those lovely items at ridiculously great prices when I am supposed to be refraining. Love the post though and I love that you linked it to all your outfit posts.
Haha Linda I'm so sorry…! xx
This is realy a great idea for post and I love the coat π
Thanks hun – the coat is my fave floral thing in the world!
Catherine, I already liked the jeans when you showed them in your post. Would you please let me know if they run true to size? Thank you π

Hi Annette – yes I got my usual size and that was a perfect fit for me. Don't forget they offer free delivery and free returns, so what I sometimes do is order two sizes if I'm unsure and just send one back x
Thanks, Catherine, also for reminding me of their great service, this is what I love about ASOS. Although I really like Wallis dresses, I have to pay intl. postage from Germany to the UK in case of returns π
