Another day, another visit to the sales! This time I popped to Miss Selfridges and French Connection to try on impractical party dresses that I don't need: my favourite impractical things to buy! I haven't been massively impressed by the sales so far, but I haven't hit any of the big department stores yet: i'm sure as soon as I do i'll be regaling you with tales of armfuls of lovely stuff bought (well, here's hoping!) Until then though, here's what I tried on in Miss Selfridges:
The nude dress had been reduced to £20, the metallic T-shirt had been reduced to £8. I loved the nude dress, especially the detailing around the shoulders and the ruffled capped sleeves. But boy, did it make me look top heavy! I ummed and ahhed over it for a little while, but decided it probably showed a little too much boob for me.

Like the magpie I am, I was attracted to this dress because it was shiny and sparkly. The sequins were gorgeous, and it was reduced from £100 to £45: bargain! But it isn't exactly flattering on my wobbly mince pie belly, so this one ended up back on the rack for somebody else to find and love!
I loved this dress from French Connection, which had been reduced from £190 to £50, and even came with a matching bag that was reduced to £25. However I was put off by my shopping partner (aka Mike) who pulled that face when I came out of the changing room (complete with slightly wrinkled nose) and put me right off!
Love, Tor x

That French Connection dress is lovely, their sale is so good but things never seem to fit me too well, I tried on a gorgeous playsuit but it gave me a hunchback because the zip was far too long for my short back!

i love the nude dress :)
The last dress (white and black) is beautiful. Would look lovely with a blazer. Might try and get one myself :)
I love the french connection dress! I don't know why he would've pulled a face, I think it's lovely on you.
I really like the last dress on you! No need for the wrinkly nose!!
Sale shopping is always a bit hit and miss.

Aww, I love that last dress! Ignore boys, they don't know anything about it!
Oh Tor, you're so lucky to be able to find such lovely things in the sales! I seem to wander around for ages getting all hot and angry, and only if I'm lucky I will find one thing.
I really like that last dress, I think it suits you and I bet you could style it up for lots of different situations.
P.S. Thank you for doing these sale posts, I don't always get chance to go to my stores so its great to see what they might have before my journey.
Ooops sorry for my rambling comment!
Aww Mike is such a spoiler - I never sale shop with my OH for that very reason,go back and snap it up
