SALES SALES SALES

As someone with expensive taste on a student budget, i'm certainly not adverse to a bargain! But these days I feel like high street stores are constantly holding sales only to offer a poor selection of products. Instead of finding that top I'd been wanting for SO long but was too ridiculously over priced to justify buying.. it will never actually end up within the sales.. and instead I'm surround by things that never caught my eye prior to their discounted price! Anyone else ever feel like that?!

For those of you wondering why I brought this topic up its because today, on my way home from university I decided to treat myself to a quick trip to the flagship Topshop store in Oxford Circus! Although this place is an absolute nightmare; always full of people no matter what the time.. I do like to go in a rummage around their petite section. Anyways before I go off topic, as I approached I noticed the large SALE signs across the window. I must admit, I had already looked at the sale online and found nothing of interest but the internet is never the same as looking through rails and racks yourself!

Most items were available in a wide range of sizes which led me to believe the sale couldn't have started that long ago. However what was surprising was the lack of people holding precious finds. It was almost like everyone was just browsing and no one was actually picking anything up. Personally I was very unimpressed, I went round the rails numerous times in a desperate attempt to find something that was worthwhile. I genuinely felt like I shouldn't be leaving empty handed, there must be something that I had missed. But there really wasn't.

In the end I picked up a t-shirt that had been reduced to £8, but not the amazingly special piece I was longing to find!

I hope you had more luck than me!
