The lovely Marian at House of Style received a lovely jumper from Next for Christmas and her pressie inspired me to go looking in Next in their winter sale. I hadn't been in there in a long time for purchases, it was my main haunt for clothes back in the 80s, particularly jumpers and smart tailored wear, so I was hoping I could nab a bargain.
I came across this jacket/cardigan on sale for £15 and what I like about it is how versatile it can be worn. Here I'm wearing it closed and open with jeans, but I would also wear it with a black bodycon dress and also with smart trousers too.
What bargains did you pick up in the sales this winter, or are you saving the pounds for a summer investment?

Would you believe all the shopping I've done in the past two weeks has been full price. I'm hopeless when it comes to sales. Unless it's thrifting then apparently I'm a tyrant. LOL
Very cool - it has a total Marc Jacobs vibe!
Cool jacket. I haven't been clothing shopping in a while. I really want to get some flowery dresses for spring.
what unique & fun piece! :)

Ooh, fab. Hey, that's kind of a big expenditure for you :-)
I live for sale shopping, so I spent all of my shopping allowance on the day after Christmas.
Hi Sharon Rose,
What a cooooool knitted jacket! I adore it!
Have a great day!

Very lovely jacket, and so versatile. You can wear it with a white dress or LBD, throw in something red in the ensemble and it'll be even more fab! I've got this really hot and comfortable ankle booties for about $ 50 or 20 quid. :)
Hi Ladies-thanks for your lovely comments and LaMimi, I'll take the tip of wearing red with this too, thanks!
£15 Sharon Rose - you've gone large! But you wear it well...
Nice jacket, looks great. I haven't bought anything in Next since the early 90's and I can even remember what it was a pair of gorgeous aubergine colour leather Penny Loafers! Hahah!
I really love it! Colour and design. I´ve bought several things on sales. They are in my last post. Kss
;-)
So cute. I love it!
Hi all-thanks for the lovely comments!
THE JACKET IS AMAZING! It fits you so well!

Hey Sharon! That's a great jacket, especially for £15. It fits you very well and I really like the constrast trim.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment on my illustrations. I'm really glad you like them :)
Hope you enjoyed your weekend. Take care!
Love that lively print! My main post-holiday score was that set of obi belts - so excited to wear them.

i picked up a great coat from armani but i don't think it's a bargain....
that suits you so well, Sharon! i think my favorite bargain was the black slip i got at this weekend's flea market.
Hi ladies-you got some awesome pieces ladies, thanks for your lovely comments too!
Looks best with the front open :D
Hmmm..I did get a pair of funky plastic jewellery for AUS$3.00 from my neighbour who had a garage sale. Pictures soon :D
Not saving at the moment. Hardly much income when one is a student! But definitely keeping an eye out for those op-shops :D Hopefully I'll get a job soon :P

Hi Lil Midget and marian-thanks ladies for the lovely comments!
It really suits you! And I love the next sale, I got a skirt there which I totally love wearing - it makes me feel so happy!
Love your new jacket. Its very versatile and a great cut for you! I am really happy with my grey Zara cardigan that I got on sale for a fraction of the orignal price.
thanks! xx

Oh yes, that's a sooooooo fab jacket, so versatil and nice. What a find dear.

I just took back my "big" sales buy today, as I realised it wasn't quite as perfect as I'd hoped. Maybe I will use the money to save up for something better in Spring!
Oooohhh, what a great deal! I'd love a jacket like that for work. I wonder if Next ships to the US... You look lovely as always!
Hi the seeker, nic and asian cajuns-thanks for the great comments!
Hi couture carrie-thanks my dear!
You must have such a huge wardrobe!
I bought a few basics like underwear over the sales. But I'm not spending another pound until I lose a few holiday pounds. And theyt are stubborn so it may be awhile!
Hi Karen-LOL, not as big as you think!! I'm going to save now for some summer basics.
