a sneaky peek ~ sale preview for The Dressing Room

I've been lucky enough to get a little sale preview to share with you, my lovely readers! I think the best bargains to be had come from independent boutiques who offer some really excellent mark-downs during sale times. The Dressing Room have lent me a few items to style, a flavour of what is on offer and the kind of bargains you can expect to find! The sale starts online on Christmas Day if you want to get in there early to bag the best reductions....so just a few more hours until you can get clicking. Their store on the High Street in St Alban's will be opening their doors on Tuesday 27th December from 11am-5pm.....I would get there early and form an orderly queue 😉. You won't want to miss out....many items are reduced by up to 50%. To me that means a proper, genuine sale! Be poised to click that button if there is something in particular you've had your eyes on all season.

The 3 items I've had the opportunity to have a play around with, are all in my opinion the sort of investment purchases you should be aiming to snag in the sales. First up is a this gorgeous Sundry grey slogan sweatshirt. The sweatshirt is a stalwart amongst us school run mums....it makes up a part of our daily uniform and therefore I feel....we need more than a couple to rotate!

A closer look here....it's lovely and soft inside, next to the skin! To see more of the Sundry range at click here.

I think the ladies at The Dressing Room really know my style as they just happen to have popped over 2 pieces that totally nail my signature style! This is the kind of look I favour when the temps are a bit milder and we can flash our ankles! These two go perfectly together and are investments for Spring. These Reiko Chino are the kind of utility-style trews that I love and just happen to be a sweatshirts best friend!

I've pictured close up again so you can see the details. These have pockets.....yay!

Pockets on your derriere too! A very flattering shape on as you can see below! The Dressing Room stock a great selection of Reiko which you can see here.

I knew these would work brilliantly together.....all I needed to add was another splash of red to bring this altogether!

The next piece I have to style is very much where I'm intending to invest in during the sales......jeans! You may recall I mentioned this on my previous blog post! 

J Brand super skinny velveteen jeans was £240 now £120

These J Brands are amazing...such a superb fit and very forgiving as super stretchy, great for that festive food baby! 😉 Just what I've been looking for to give my coated skinnies a break....lest not forget velvet is a big trend this season. 

From a distance the jeans look as though they are black but they are in fact a gorgeous deep Twilight Purple that I thought worthy of a close-up.

First up is how I would style these for a night out.....New Years Eve springs to mind!

Sam Edelman Rudie boots

Next up....velvet and a bit of Victoriana are a great combination! I love this look....it the sort of thing I'd wear for a lunch date or an evening in the pub.

Pavement boots

And finally proving a bit of velvet isn't just for best I would dress these down for an everyday by toughening them up with my studded boots and a sweatshirt. I do like to get my pay per wear out of things!

I for one will have my finger poised ready to checkout what's in my virtual basket. Go forth and grab those bargains!

Right, it's finally time for me to sign off for a few days to enjoy the festivities! I would like to thank everyone who reads my ramblings, I really appreciate your continued support and your lovely comments! Time to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.....and a Happy New Year just in case I don't get another blog post in before!
