Yes, it’s all doom and gloom lately, I know how you feel.  Believe me.  On the plus side, however, stores and retail chains are feeling the pinch and doing crazy things like marking gorgeous clothes and accessories down to what can only be described as amazingly affordable prices.  Behold:

A: Mink Short Jacket at Debenhams, £49.00 (GBP) on sale

B: Tie Neck Check Blouse at House of Fraser, £10.00 (GBP) on sale

C: Ruffle Cami at ASOS, £20.00 (GBP) on sale

D: Tie Front Swing Shirt by Kookai at ASOS, £28.00 (GBP) on sale

E: Grey Waterfall Front Shell Top by Principles, £27.00 (GBP) on sale

F: Shola Heels by Dune, £42.50 (GBP) on sale

G: Funnel Neck Textured Cape Coat at ASOS, £28.00 (GBP) on sale

H: Hooded Sweater by Ichi at Littlewoods Direct, £25.00 (GBP) on sale

In a completely unrelated incident, I may have been driven insane this week by H&M’s lack of an online shopping facility for the UK.  I’m considering lobbying parliament.
