Apricot’s Sales
As we ring in the new year-albeit eight days later- we empty our purses and be merry and free. Down the hatchet the wine goes, the feet are dancing , the hands are swaying. If your anything like me then you would have spent the whole night dancing, with carefree abandonment, until you stagger home with sore feet. Its the next morning and you’re feeling hungover, you clutch your head and stare into space. The thought of another night out gives you the shudders but its the January Sales and you promised yourself a new wardrobe. So you go online in search of your ‘wardrobe soulmate’ , hoping to find the perfect outfit to distract you from your woozy head. After all, you tell yourself, everything feels better with a good ol’ New Year splurge, right? At least that is how you justify your spending habits…
Shop The Look
You click through site after site, hoping to find gold at the end of the fashion rainbow. It seems so dire, your options are running out but you don’t want to face the commotion outside. As if by magic the fairies have listened and your luck has turned. Lo and behold your new fashion savior; meet Apricot, the one stop shop for all things fancy, casual and in between. Your eyes grow wide and your heart seems to stop, you found the site of your dreams and the spending possibilities become endless. You might be dead drunk but your pretty sure you know what your doing. So you scroll through page after page, looking for sale items to make your heart race.
As if by chance, the 5 magic numbers materialize across your screen and your smile grows even wider. Up to 75% off Sale, surely you must be dreaming? Your hangover seems to disappear by the second as the mix of retro, casual and formal wear dances before your eyes. Oooh a £15 black and silver baroque skirt, reduced from £32? Not too shabby but an even bigger steal might be this cream long haired faux fur cropped jacket. At just £15 reduced from £39, your Apricot binge is only just beginning. So you got yourself two fancy items for £30 but you feel that something is missing, you need something a little more casual to whet your appetite. Well, look no further than Apricot and their stunning range of floral blouses, tapping into 2017’s retro revival phase. Feeling 70’s? Then this green and pink daisy print shirt should tickle your pickle. Maybe you are after something a little fancier, might I recommend an 80’s pussybow blouse, after all they are the symbol of female emancipation. How kick ass is that?
Your head is spinning and your fingers are cramping, all this sale shopping has got you caught up in a spell. You sigh and lust after every single sale item, hoping that one day unlimited money will be at your disposal. Still you can’t complain, three outfits under £60 is not too bad at all and you can’t help but feel like the cat who has got the cream. As your laptop closes for another day, you sigh with contentment, awaiting your parcels like a kid on Christmas day. You count down the days anxiously, waiting for your goodies to come home. Its a few days later and the postman knocks, like a kid you skid downstairs. You run to the door and the parcels seem to sparkle and glitter; you rip the Apricot parcels open there and then. The beauties have arrived and your day is complete.
Your day becomes a fashion show and you forget about everything else, waltzing in your new clothes you feel at ease. Tomorrow is another day full of responsibilities and strife but for now you live in the moment. The jacket fits like a glove and the top feels like second skin. It is the skirt that captures a new feeling though, the desire to dance until sunrise. Solo or partnered up, you couldn’t care less, can a partner make you feel as strongly as you do about fashion? Your eyes begin to drop and you drift into a peaceful slumber, sated by the January sales you are content at last.

My friend loves this shop. I’ve never bought anything there, but she says they have some good things
These are some beautiful picks, and omg I love your style! The first one is my favourite for sure xo

Gorgeous picks, I did end up buying a fair few bits in the sales x
That skirt from Apricot is gorgeous. What a brilliant sale on, 75 per cent off is an amazing discount too
‘After all, you tell yourself, everything feels better with a good ol’ New Year splurge, right? At least that is how you justify your spending habits…’ haha love it.
I love those books, they are gorgeous!
Looks like Apricot does offer great items at awesome drop down prices. I have not heard of them until now, and I would probably be buying an item or two from them. A new outfit every now and then is not splurging, not with Apricot!
You look gorgeous my dear Ana !! I do most of my shopping in January because of the huge sales and I think it`s totally worth it. I ordered the baroque midi skirt as well and I can`t wait to style it. Kisses
There are some gorgeous items there, and always good to see good value. It is what we like having just spent probably more than we should have in December. Not heard of Apricot, but certainly worth checking out now.
This is why I love having a birthday in January! Guilt free January sales shopping!!
Ana great little gems in this post . I haven’t heard of Apricot before but will definitely give them a look in future. I can see why you love online shopping…its just a click away…Ha ha! Love those gold shoes.
You have such fabulous style and you look amazing.
I did buy quite a bit in the January sales, but I’m lucky as I got paid at the beginning of January. Love the look of your sale picks x
Omgh I think I have fallen in love with that skirt! It is so pretty!
Loving the brocade skirt golden shoes. Absolute killer items from Apricot sales.
I love your wit in this post, it made me smile the entire way through. I think we all hope that one day unlimited money will be at our disposal, but for now you got some great bargains at Apricot. I love the black and silver skirt and the faux fur jacket. You look gorgeous, as usual x
You’re showing that it’s no need to break a bank to look fabulous! You are such a master what comes combining colours and materials.
those over the knee boots are fit! you look so glam in the last outfit
oh I haven’t heard of this store before but I will be sure to check it out as I do need to start shopping elsewhere and yes I agree to sore feet on a night out usually why I wake with dirt on the soles of my feet as I take the heels off on the way home
Really liked all the dresses you are wearing! This is the first time I am hearing about this brand but this sounds affordable and seems to have some nice designs.
Beautiful picks! Never heard of Apricot before but seems like they are having some amazing collection! Liked both of your outfits and you’ve nailed it!
Wow what a good collection. I love the boots and you are looking gorgeous in all the pics. Simply awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Ana, just clicked through to get the skirt, hadn’t got my size, but did find another for £10 so very pleased.
Wow these are some amazing deals indeed! Ideal to take off the new year hangover lol. I am completely in awe of the fur jacket and the black baroque skirt.
Wow, that’s quite a tale of Internet shopping if I’ve ever heard one! Apricot sounds great and that grey skirt looks cute.
Since I am hoping to save for a mortgage and also have a bit of an emergency fund, I have not been doing the january sales. I do love the items you’ve showcased though
Wish I could carry off that skirt the way you do! I would be seriously tempted by the shoes – I haven’t splurged on the sales this year but our teen most definitely has!
For a classic though young and fresh style (like me), Apricot is a must! The dress and skirt are lovely and my personal passion for shoes made me watch your pics many times <3 <3
I love that purple pinafore dress, and that skirt is gorgeous!
I don’t think I’ve ever bought anything from Apricot before but their sale sounds amazing!
I love Apricot and they have some fab pieces in the sale which you’ve showcased here!
Who doesn’t shop in January?? 😀 That is a must! I found some pretty blouses in 50% sale as well 🙂
My fav in your post are the boots…. gorgeous!
I am so in love with your choices, you always style your outfits so well, as well always looking elegant and super chic. x
