If you are familiar with my style you would know that I love to wear complimentary accessories with my outfits.

These are usually made up of stacks of bangles from my favourite sellers – Bow and Crossbones, Splendette and Luxulite.

I have a huge old Panettone tin which I store them in and when I first started wearing bangles, I didn’t think I would ever fill the tin. Now it is overflowing and I have no idea where I am going to put anything new that I receive.

Running out of Storage

This has simply not stopped me from collecting more and this has never been more true this past week.

Bow and Crossbones announced a mahoosive seconds sale.

Bow & Crossbones

This was dangerous because –

a) It was nearly my birthday

b) I had asked for money for my birthday

c) it was payday.

So, did I wait a week for my birthday or did I spend money that I thought I would be probably getting for my special day and hope I didn’t spend too much?

Going onto the website sealed my fate.

I Loves me a Sale!

There were every colour and variety of bangle that I had lusted over for the past few months, including Teal, Peacock and Dark Brown varieties that I wanted to match a bespoke dress that I am having made by the wonderful Karen Harvey.

It was then that I noticed there were a fair few earrings on sale too.

Well, I just had to go and have a look, didn’t I?

I had come to the realisation recently that I don’t have a lot of complimenting earrings. I have two white, 1 red, 1 navy and 2 tortoiseshell lucite hoops but I have so many different coloured outfits that I needed to ‘up my game’.

Not quite Vintage, but a Perfect match!

Again the site had absolutely loads of earrings and I went a bit crazy adding them to my basket, willy nilly.

Before confirming my order though, I went back through the basket, deleting any duplicates or ones that I thought too similar.

I was also  looking for some earrings to get for my bespoke outfit and worked out that I had put 7 different pairs that would all compliment the outfit, but I really didn’t need all seven, so again I scaled them down until I had my favourites.

All told, I had ordered 8 bangles in the seconds sale, 1 full price bangle,  10 pairs of earrings in the seconds sale and 1 full price pair.

What really pleased me was that there was also a buy 6 get 1 free offer on in the seconds section, which meant as I had 18 items in my basket, I got 3 of them FREE!

Winner, Winner!

So, what exactly did I get? Well here is the list.

Now, given that the Bark earrings and Bangle were full price and came to £20.98, this meant the other items came to a grand total of £60.50 with free shipping.

That made the other 18 items a average price of £3.36 each!

Well, you can’t get much better than that. Obviously I hastily pressed the order button and waited with baited breath for all my goodies to arrive.

Its for Meeeee

The down side to that was they arrived four days before my birthday and I wasn’t allowed to have them early.

Sad Times.

I am not the most patient of people when it comes to pretty things and I have to admit that it was hard not to wear them. However as soon as my birthday arrived, I had a full stack on to match my clothing and a brand new pair of earrings too!.

Just about showing the Stack

Having so many new accessories, I will need to really think about the outfits they match with, so I get a chance to showcase them all.

Till next time,
