Ahoy sailor

Wanted to wear this to go watch the Oxford-Cambridge boat race on Sunday. Thought it was quite nautical with the dark blue playsuit and golden buttons! However, despite the glimmers of sunshine outside, it was quite cold and I wore something else!

Work Sample sales

April 2, 2009


Working in a retail head office is great! I’ve worked there for just under 3 years now and one of the great perks of the job are sample sales. I know that different companies manage their sample sales differently- some open out to the public (like Ted Baker last week) and some have exclusive sales just for staff (like where I work- ASOS, Topshop and Laura Ashley too)

Seeing as we were all being made redundant, we had our final last EVER sample sale last week. It was crazy but I’m glad that I worked with people who were courteous and polite- no pushing was going on, it was all ‘excuse me’ and ‘sorry, am I in your way?’. But I got some great stuff, which is probably why in future outfit posts, I’m going to refer to many of the clothes as ‘Otto Sample Sale’. Where possible, I’ll try and reference any brands.

BTW, if you really want to look for the clothes I’ve bought from the Otto sample sale, please check out: freemans, grattan, oli, kaleidoscope or look again. These are the brands I worked with and therefore all the samples have directly come from them. Also, seeing as a lot won’t fit me, I’ll be posting some things on e-bay, so watch this space!

At the moment, everything is piled up in the corner of my bedroom, just waiting to be sorted out! (as seen above). However, I have a few interesting prints and items:

Sequins

Spots

Floral Patterns

Random Patterns


Finally I have a ‘curtain’ of black fringing, which is just waiting for me to attach it to something!!
