Brandalley, H&M, high-waisted skirt, Outfit less than £35, printed silk headband, Selected Femme, sereni & shentel, Sereni & Shentel x Anna Coroneo

YAY it’s my birthday today! Thank you Minty for the lovely post!

However, I had my disposal hearing case today (I was for the Defendant) at 2pm so I could only properly celebrate after 4pm! Hence, the “work” outfit! I don’t like boring you with work outfits (and I’m NOT even working!), but I realised that what I was wearing today was below £35 with 2 items being on sale! Fantastic!

Observe:

Not counting my Sereni & Shentel x Anna Coroneo printed silk headband in Spring Fling (it’s £25 on its own) which was a birthday present from Minty! I wore it for advocacy today for good luck It worked to calm my nerves. Good going, Mints!

Omitting my lovely headband, the rest of my outfit: blazer, layered top and high-waisted skirt were less than £35!

• Black Cotton Blazer: £14.99 (H&M current season)
• White Layered Top: £10 from £70 (Selected Femme bought from Brandalley, in this post)
• High-Waisted Skirt: £7 (H&M on sale)

Which is a GRAND TOTAL of…£31.99!

How is that for cheap? A work outfit shouldn’t be expensive, and sales are the best places to get them!

Thank you for all the birthday wishes, I am looking forward to Japanese tonight and a good night of partying before I begin work tomorrow for next week’s load. Sad life of a barrister-to-be eh?

I keep vowing that I won’t shop for the next few weeks, months but I ALWAYS get itchy fingers that it’s very hard to stop.myself.from.clicking.urggGGhHH BUY!!

There goes my will power

Well here are the few recent goodies I snatched up in the sales (my favourite time to shop!).

My 13″ pink Cambridge Satchel Company x Asos candy-striped pocket satchel arrived in the post today and I’m SO excited to see it! It’s the perfect size to go out with, compared to my 14″ batchel which is slightly bigger.

Love it!

13″ pink Cambridge Satchel Company x Asos satchel candy-striped pocket

Bagged this at a cool £55 from its original price of £110! 100% leather, it’s got a cotton candy striped pocket which makes this bag ultra cute!

I compare the pink 13″ satchel with my 14″ Vintage & Navy batchel:

There isn’t much difference, but the 13″ is a manageable size. The 14″ satchel carries A4 folders easily, instead of the 13″ satchels.

Treat the 13″ like a handbag, but this is to illustrate to you that I managed to pop in one 587-page legal book (Criminal Procedure), along with a thinner book in the big compartment.

Here is what fits in the smaller compartment:

…my Kindle! The man had recently presented me my very own Kindle because he knew I love reading but wouldn’t buy books as I wouldn’t be able to ship everything home when I left the UK. Also,if he couldn’t get any sweeter, he had 1000 free books waiting for me to be put into my Kindle! He’s such a sweetie

Besides a Kindle, you can add your other essentials in the smaller compartment:

Kindle, iPod Touch, Blackberry

Here are my other bargain items I managed to buy online at Brandalley:

White Camile Layered Top with a sheer back from Selected Femme for £70 £10 only!

Peacock Tassel Trash Kaftan from OneTeaspoon for £63 £10 only!

I bought these two tops from an online Warehouse sale:

African Spot Top from Warehouse at £35 £15 only! It’s got a cute keyhole on the back of the top as well. You can still find the top here

Oriental Split Sleeve Top from Warehouse at £32 £7 only! The picture doesn’t do it justice but it really is a pretty top!

This isn’t a Fall/Autumn buy but let’s face it, can you turn down a good sale?

Instead of paying £200 for the 4 tops, all I paid was £42! Total savings of £158!

Oh- sorry.

Dear Bank account, I promise promise promise I won’t shop anymore.
