Have you found yourself any great bargains in the sales recently? there are so many brands on sale at the moment. Or do you find all that sale stuff a bit wintry ?
There is nothing better than finding something you love at a bargain price, and this is my cue for this fabulous French Connection skirt I found on their bargain rail…
This is the Patrice Faux Leather Skirt from their AW15 collection. I loved it as soon as I saw it, thinking about the leather biker jacket I already had. The skirt is very good quality, and you wouldn’t know it isn’t leather The biker jacket is from next, bought in a sale two years ago…..
But what I’m getting at here is I normally buy something High end retail in the sales even if it wont be worn until it’s hot or cold enough to wear. This is when to buy your labels that you cant always afford (well I cant !) I look for classic items that can be added to my wardrobe and worn till the cows come home. Ok this skirt wasn’t overly expensive, but to me it was still a great bargain find. I also bought another skirt on my shopping trip that was reduced to £20.00 from £199.00 ! I will be posting about that beauty of a bargain later……..
Ive teamed the skirt with my favourite plain cream shirt that goes with everything . I bought the shirt in primark last year and have it in every colour they had available. Just add accessories for different looks. You cant go wrong with a plain shirt……
The bag is old from Enny Handbags and the boots are from FandF (last season)
THE PATRICE FAUX LEATHER SKIRT £32.00
So What else to look for in in the sales?
Biker jackets – buy one now, they are not going any wear any time soon
Good quality jeans – I dont think it matters if they are skinny, flared or boot cut
Shoes – A high end designer court shoe is never going to date.
A blazer – A good quality blazer for when the weather gets a little warmer.
What are your favourite sale finds?I would love to hear from you…..

You are very beautiful!
I'm a sucker for a great deal (and this one tops the cake)!! I'm one of those terrible people that go to the sales rack first —and if it's a great deal buy it and then figure out what I'm going to wear with it!
But I've learned to buy non-sale items too—it's all a balance, right?
Your skirt is such a perfect neutral—you'll get so many wears out of it, I bet!

Thank you jacqueline. I love nothing more than finding a good bargain ! x
Ahh this is something I always set out to do yet never accomplish because I forget. I forget to shop for pieces I want during off season. Such an idiot, I know. Unlike you. Lucky you. That skirt is STUNNING.
Thank you Sheela. You always look stunning anyway !
This is a really fabulous skirt! And very sophisticated with boots. Thanks for returning the blog visit btw. Appreciate it. And added you on g+ etc. 🙂 Have a great Monday. Sabina
Thank you Saint for your lovely comments. I will be a regular visitor to your blog too x
I find it very practical and wise to shop classics during sales. I adore the warm color of the skirt and the 70s style it allures to, being versatile in the same time.
Thank you Angie. Thank you for stopping by x
Beautiful transition look and such a great buy on this leather skirt! It really looks fab with your boots and cream top. I do enjoy buying classic pieces when they are bargains and holding on to them for the next season.

Very pretty skirt! Love the color and those boots paired with this look. I have more fall-winter clothes than spring, so I am focusing on that. I buy most of my stuff on sale 🙂

Thank you Jess, it's been a good year for me so far this year regarding bargains.x
That's a good list of things to buy when on sale. I tend to spend more money of items that I know will be kept season after season like a blazer or a pair of shoes.
Thank you for joining TBT Fashion link up and hope to see you next week. Have a great weekend!

Beautiful skirt. Enjoyed visiting your blog from "Between the Lines."
Thank you Debbie, I'm popping over to yours now x
This is lovely Laurie, I've not been shopping in ages!!
Now's the time Claire ! Get out there and grab yourself a bargain x
Hi Laurie, This is exactly what I do! The only way I could afford my leather biker jacket and I keep an eye on the sales. Last year I bought Karen Millen jeans, a Radley bag and some lovely Hobbs bits in the sales. Like you, I mix and match in with things like F&F basic t-shirts (£4 and perfectly good quality!) to make it work.
That is a lovely classic skirt and the whole outfit is timeless and chic. Beautiful!
Now we just need these temperatures to go up a bit so we can wear the summer bargains we got last year! 😀 x
