Just like at the start of the recession when VAT was slashed, shops cut all their prices and my income (pitiful though it was) held steady, I have been taking full advantage of all the sales going on at the moment. No need to wait for Boxing Day... Liberty, Harvey Nichols, The Corner, Browns, The LN-CC - all have been suitably raided and now I'm just sitting back, gnawing on a Curly Wurly and waiting for my 2012 wardrobe to arrive. The parents might be annoyed by this sudden flurry of spending but I guess they don't realise this is my major shopping period of the year. Plus, I just got 'paid' (doctoral students everywhere roll their eyes).
The first package to come through this week was an exciting one - a 50% off 3.1 Phillip Lim necklace I tracked down on The Corner. Made of metal, leather, plastic and fabric, this completely fits in with the industrial chic look I'm thinking of for January. It's a bit like those chunky Proenza accessories from last season - see Jen's DIY post on Style Crusader. There's something my scientific heart finds very satisfying about the symmetry and the geometric design. And the the carabiner-style clasp may even convince me to go outside with my hair up.
More sale haul posts to come. Everybody keep me away from Youtube...
