My Vouchercodes.co.uk Barganista Show & Tell Challenge!!

Hi All!!

So im entering another competition with http://www.vouchercodes.co.uk/ for the chance to win two tickets to London Fashion week *whoop* All I have to do is post my favourite bargain buys and share with you where I bought them from and how much I spent! So here we go....


Outfit One
♥ Maxi Dress ♥
Price: Free
From: I am currently a member of http://www.bigwardrobe.com/ which is a free version of Ebay where members can not only sell items but they can also swap them for another item! I have done quite a few swaps and all items are free... well except for postage, and I am in love with this site! You have to be careful of potential 'swaplifters' who may agree to swap clothes with you and never do after you've posted yours!! But i'd def recommend a swapping site to clear out the old items and bring in the new!





Outfit Two
♥ River Island Jumper & Topshop Jeggings ♥
Price: Jumper = £1.99 Jeggings = £7
From: Some people in the West Midlands may have heard about a charity warehouse in Cannock called NewLife? If not then the NewLife Foundation for Disabled Children has a superstore which recycles items from major high street and sometimes designer stores for low prices! You have to be in the mood to search around as it's kind of a TK Maxx environment and many items from here are one offs. So if you don't pick up an item your interested when its gone... its gone forever! All you have to do is become a member for £3.99 for the year! And also we can't forget the Topshop Sale rail... I always find something on that!




Outfit Three
♥ Topshop Top & River Island Bodycon Skirt ♥
Price: Top = FREE Skirt = £1.99
From: Again I havve been swapping to get this cute lil top and took another trip to te NewLife warehouse!




Outfit Four
♥ Bay Trading Dress ♥
Price: £1
From: So the Bay Trading in my local House of Fraser and a £1 rail a few weeks ago and I couldn't resist walking by! I picked up a few items but this outfit is buy far my favourite as you wouldn't think it had been reduced so much!! I love sale rails and this was perfect but sometimes it's hit and miss with these but this day was def a hit day!!




Outfit Five
♥ Miss Selfridge Bodycon Dress ♥
Price: £5
From: Again another sale rail by from the fab Miss Selfridges in House of Fraser... gotta love department stores!!




This final item is not so much an outfit, but with a trip to Bicester Shopping Village my mother picked up this sexy Dolce & Gabbana bra for only £40...




So there we have it, my fav bargain outfits!! I hope you liked them just as much as I do and I hope this post will help you for future. I'll finish off with my top bargain hunting tips:

1. Charity shops/warehouse are great for one off items at low prices, but be prepared to spend time searching!

2. Never pass a sale rail buy, you never know whats hiding between all that fabric!

3. When looking through sale rails always pick up items that catch your eye first, NEVER leave an item you seem to like more then 60% and think you can come back to it because the girl next to you will snatch that item right up once you put it back on the rail!! So even if your not sure keep it until you've decided if you really want it!

4. Use swapping sites such as Ebay.com and Bigwardrobe.com to get items for ridiculously low prices or even for FREE!! (Just be careful of the potential 'swaplifters' who may try and take your items without posting your swap to you!!)


If you would like to enter this competition then you have until the weekend to post and to be in with a chance of winning two tickets to London Fashion Weekend! Just send me an email and i'll post you the info! Wish me luck!

I love your pink dress, it's so feminine and pretty!!

I think i have to agree with your no 3 rule! Never leave an item that had your 60% attention. Often i left it, then i went home with regret, and guess what the next day i went to the shop again and bought it!! =p (that's counted as lucky, because they still have th eitem)
