River Island: Mid-season sales review

Hi guys,

The mid-season sales are in full swing and I haven't had a decent try on session/review session for aages, so I thought it was time to reignite the old format and show you my five of the best from the River Island sale. I've turned into a real River Island fan of late - I love their cuts, their patterns, and their attention to detail. I also love their sales!

Floral jumpsuit, £20
Photobucket
Chartreuse evening dress, £20
Photobucket
Star print playsuit, £15
Photobucket
Black studded frill dress, £15
Photobucket
Nude and black t-shirt, £8
Photobucket
I especially loved the black dress and the floral jumpsuit: the dress would be really versatile for almost any occassion and the jumpsuit is just plain fun: teamed with stack heels it would look so seventies! The playsuit looked great too, but it wasn't long enough in the crotch, causing weird ruching. Similarly the evening dress had design errors: it looked good from the front but had absolutely no support in the back!


The river island sale is always great; reductions of 50% and more (usually more) also mean it's a good place to make bigger purchases like leather jackets, winter boots and jackets: they had a massive selection of lightweight spring/summer jackets that I would definitely recommend checking out!

Love, Tor xx

Totally agree, I never used to like river island but if you look hard enough,past all the diamante and glitter, there are some really lovely things! Love that black dress!

I love the jumpsuit on you! Just add a floppy hat and some wedges! My girls got loads of stuff including the black trimmed top you have. I always get them lots from River Island, love their sales for the girls.
