River Island 50% Off Sale Haul
So River Island have recently had a HUGE 50% sale which seemed to be going on for weeks, when it first hit online I of course had to make a small order. So what did I get?
Now, first off the trousers I bought both in a size 10R which is my normal size for River Island and I find their jeans are the most comfortable to wear! The cream floral cigarette trousers fit perfect, they are a bit see-through which put me off but never the less they are smart for work-wear or events.
The skinny jeans I was expected a lot from, but I will say I am very disappointed. The site says nothing about them being cropped, or shorter legged and I am normally a size regular in leg length. But when I wore them, I felt like they was a little short, as to just above my ankle? My other River Island jeans aren't like that, they fitted fine otherwise a little uncomfortable but I assume after wearing them a few times they would get more stretched.
The bags! Well the black chain bag I bought purely because of the price and colour, black goes with every outfit right? It's a large bag suitable for long days out where you need to take a lot of stuff, or for university/school use to carry books in. Plus, £16.50 is super cheap especially for River Island! It arrived beautiful, no issues, I love it!
The white metallic tote bag, I had high expectations for I was expecting it to have that 'WOW' factor. But it doesn't... It has a lot of silver on the bag, just as the photos but I felt like it made it look slightly cheap? Maybe that's just me, but the bag style just isn't for me...
And finally the small gold purse, I bought this because of the size as I recently bought a small but expensive Ted Baker bag (discussed on my previous blog post). My current River Island purse is huge in size, but this one is perfect for nights out or just to carry the essentials.
Overall, I have mixed feelings about the purchases I made some I love but some I just feel like they could of been better. Let me know what you got in the River Island sale? Or what you would of liked to have gotten. X
