January is a very depressing month for many. For me it’s kind of okay because I’ve had extensive Hermit Training and don’t mind not seeing anyone but my husband for extended periods of time. I also have 78 unread books in a pile next to the bed so I’ll be busy, thanks.
That said, I do have to go to work like most other people and that means being near the internet and the January Sales which are there just to cheer us up, aren’t they? Nothing like instant gratification to fight off the New Year Blues, if only for the 15 seconds it takes to tear into the packaging and unearth our new friends.
I’ve been coveting quite a few things, how unusual for me, and here they are. Some things that are already in the sale or I hope soon will be, so I CAN RESIST THEM and feel VIRTUOUS.
All items in this post available via ASOS.com (but of course).
God I love this jumpsuit. This would be a very welcome addition to the work wardrobe, looks instantly smart and chic, and would rock with a bold, colourful statement necklace to offset the monochrome.
That dress! I’m not sure I’d feel comfortable with that much flesh on show in the office but I do feel my shoulders are one of my best features, so I could rock this in the pub feeling feminine AF. Lovely and a little bit ‘braver’ than my usual style.
These track pants are currently out of stock in my size but I want them so bad. Right now I live in gym gear after work, so these would add a much needed cool injection. Not that I care about being hot in the gym (just as well really).
I feel like I haven’t quite nailed the coat thing this Winter which isn’t such a disaster given that we haven’t had weather cold enough yet. I don’t think this tailored lovely is a very warm looking option but it is gorgeous. And I’ve got some great brooches that need showcasing, so…
Another one for the gym and isn’t it pretty?
This dress has been on my Wish List for a long time. I adore it. I like knit and basically, I just want it, okay?
I thought this was the whole set but it appears just to be the bottoms. You can get the top to match here. How cosy!
Another jumpsuit and actually, if I had to choose between this and the monochrome (above), I’d have a hard time. I mean look at it. It looks so finished. I love the zips, which add a real utility edge. Dreamy.
How hot is this? I’m not a roaming around the flat in a negligee type but if I was… I’d do it in items like this. SEXY.
And last but not least, on top of my Most Wanted List, this bad boy:
My boo, Tatty of Camelia Ophelia has this and I’m certain it would transform my life. I have big hair already but it has a tendency toward frizziness, especially in the windy weather. This could just be the thing to finally tame it. Image how chic I could finally be!

So there you go, there’s my impossibly superficial Sales Wish List. Of course, I won’t be purchasing any of this for myself because I’ve decided to take charge of my finances in 2016 and won’t be in a position to shop until at least April.
I’ve also decided to treat myself to the ultimate #selflove tattoo (it will be small and discreet), inspired by this post. Of course I will reveal all when the time comes but any spare pennies will be going towards that (my final, yet vital extravagance).
A Voluptuous Mind 
I looooooooove that skater dress even though I don’t understand the name? Surely no one skateboards in things like that…?
Whatever, you would look so fab in it! And in basically all of the above.

I only say “basically” bc of the bag and you wouldn’t be wearing the bag. Unless you decide to go that route. You do you.

Hahah I will! I would totally wear it, probably on my head. That might be a thing in 2016. I want it all, alas I think my credit card might catch fire if I use it again too soon *opens a new tab and types in ASOS*. Loves you! xo
