Happy
New Year!!
I
hope everyone is sticking to their resolutions, after chatting in the office we
realised that we tend to fail so we decided avoid the disappointment by not
setting any. In fact I don’t think I have achieved one since I decided to
become 33% less angry back in 2001!
With
the New Year comes the January sales and hopefully some amazing bargains. We
are now at a point when further reductions are being added to further tempt you
to part with you Christmas money (or vouchers if grandparents have been
involved). Most of the large retail stores have lowered prices including
Topshop and River Island. I nearly bought next year’s Christmas cards at
Sainsbury’s but realised that I was turning into my mum so I put them back.
In
order to get the best bargains there are a few tips that you could use:
1. It is likely that many of the
main stores will have been picked over as there have been a few weeks of sales
already so it may be worth trying stores in quieter areas. This is easier in
bigger cities but it is worth a shot (obviously you may want to check online
too).
2. There may be an item that you
like but the colour isn’t quite right, don’t ignore that bright green top, dye
it a darker colour. Granted there is a tiny bit more work involved but it’s
worth it.
3. If the size you want is gone
then you could always try a size above or below. Sizing is often a bit hit and
miss so you could get lucky but if not some simple sewing can help make the
item fit perfectly.
4. Some of the better deals will
be on random styles or items. Why not take something that you wouldn’t normally
wear and give it a go, what’s the worst that can happen?
5. Independent stores also have
some great sales so make sure you don’t stick to the bigger stores!
Hopefully
these tips will help you jazz up your wardrobe for 2012.
I
shall leave you with the Rizzle Kicks song because it’s amazing!!
