With my return to work imminent I am in desperate need of some new work clothes. I’m lucky that I work from home most of the time so that means I can get away with working in jeans but there are days where I need to visit our London office or meet customers and need to be smart.

With the Next sale starting on Boxing Day I thought that would be a perfect place to get some new work clothes. How wrong I was. I queued at 6.30am for over half an hour to get in before being elbowed and walked into. Then there was the 45 minute cue for the tills. And I didn’t get a single thing for work.
“Did you even need any of that?” Mr Jones questioned when I finally made it home. Erm, I said as I unpacked a picture frame I have no use for and a load of clothes for the littlest one.

So then we went to Milton Keynes as a family. A packed shopping centre with a stroppy eight year old who only wants to look in shops if it benefits her, a baby who’s only happy if she’s being plied with food and a grumpy husband who hates shopping because he’s a giant and nothing fits is not conducive to a good shopping experience.

Online it was then. I stumbled across Love The Sales which is a great way to search the sales from one place as it’s really easy to navigate. I don’t tend to look in Dorothy Perkins unless I’m in Outfit when I’ll have a little browse in the DP section, but I ended up finding some fab bargains which are perfect for work.

First up it was a swap for my chunky, comfy school run coat for something a little smarter. I love this coat from Dorothy Perkins reduced to £44.99

I also love this colourful pencil dress which would look lovely with a cardi and tights. This was a bargain at £15 from £42!

I also found this lovely Vera Moda blouse which will look lovely with a pair of tailored black trousers. I have a skinny black pair from Next which this will go great with. There used to be a Vera Moda store in Birmingham and I like their clothes as they’re affordable and a little different too. This blouse was reduced to £15.

And finally, of course I needed to treat myself to a new pair of shoes. I used to have some lovely tan heels which ended up tatty and these are a good replacement and will look good with skinny trousers and maybe jeans too. Again these are from Dorothy Perkins and reduced to £23.
