We had a very quiet and relaxing Christmas and New Year which has given me time to recharge my batteries. It also gave me time to peruse some of the post-Christmas sales. Today I have put together a selection showing bargains that I have found in the January sales.
Details of above:
V neck navy blouse Cos | Earrings Nordstrom | Wrap coat MarksandSpencer | Russet red scarf Uniqlo | Trousers Theory at JohnLewis&Partners | Lipstick Laura Mercier at Feelunique | Black lace-up boots MeandEm | Crossbody bag Nordstrom
Boot cut jeans by Aligne. reduced from £69 to £34. A new brand I have just discovered. The jeans are crafted from organic cotton and produced with 50% less water than regular denim. Slim-fitting and finished with a slight stretch for a more flattering fit.
Quilted jacket also from Aligne. Reduced from £125 to £62.50. Made from 100% recycled polyester. I just love the colour. It would really cheer you up on a dreary day. If I did not already have a pink one I would be very tempted.
Boden cashmere cardigan that I have featured several times now reduced from $180 to $126.
Navy waterproof jacket Boden reduced from $250 to $99.99
Autograph at Marks and Spencer kimono top reduced from £49.50 to £24. Matching trousers reduced from £59 to £29
I just love the colour and style of this lilac jacket from Arket reduced from £175 to £123. Apparently lilac is going to be the colour of the season for Spring 2022.
I have treated myself to this light pink blouse from MeandEm reduced from £95 to £47. It is so pretty and feminine I could not resist it. I also bought this off white top reduced from £65 to £32. It looks great under my crew neck sweaters and paired with my v neck cardigans. I love the MeandEm sale. Their clothes are quite pricey so I often stock up when their sales are on.

I also like the pink blouse from MeandEm, and the Boden cashmere cardigan is rather nice. Oh dear! I was half - planning to shop out of my wardrobe for a while as I have quite a few garments still with their labels attached. I seem to spend quite a lot of time indoors these days and just wear the same sort of "uniform" when I do leave the house. Maybe when the weather improves.........
Happy New Year, Josephine and Fellow Fans.
You really did well!!
Josephine - Great choices and so classy. I love that MeandEm blouse! Unfortunately the earrings are sold out but they certainly are eye-catching. Once again, thank you for a lovely blog; your selections are ALWAYS spot on! Happy New Year!
Here on the West Coast US, I'd never heard of Me/&Em. I took a good long look and drooled plenty. Fun!
Happy New Year Josephine. I usually get something from Me&Em in the sales as that’s the only time I can afford them. I tried a couple of sweatshirts this year but sent them back as the puffed sleeves don’t suit me. In fact the whole 70s revival vibe going on at the moment has meant I’ve bought very little this year. The styles didn’t suit me first time round when I was young and very slim and strangely enough they don’t look any better now that I’m not!
I love lilac, but unfortunately, it's the same shade that lives in the shadows under my eyes. I always have to go a bit darker, toward violet or purple, especially if it's around my face. Otherwise I look drawn.....
