I don't even know why! Does that put me in the same crazy bin as the 2,000 mad people trampling on each other at the American Apparel sale in the UK? I usually make fun of people like that. But the whole craze just caught up with me and I felt I had to be a part of it... sad :(
The email arrived around 4.30pm Melbourne time, I jumped on, scrolled to page 3 (there was 13 pages worth of stuff on sale) and placed the first thing half way down the page into my shopping bag. I avoided items on page one as I know most people would have gone for them first. I had my credit card details ready to copy and paste, and hey presto, it was done!
This is what I've ended up with! A gray bateau-neck silk dress by Roksandra Ilincic. It will be perfect to wear to one of my best friends weddings in July with lots of sparkly accessories. I think it would suit a winter wedding nicely.
For a grand total of 1 pound + 16.50 shipping. According to The Outnet, it retailed for 685 pounds. The site has since crashed and it's total chaos. With the far reach of social networking like FB and Twitter I have no doubt that thousands of women would have been doing the same thing as I was!
Did any of you manage to snap anything up?
no I'm in the US did not receive an email with sale items. Received an email 6:45am who the hell is up?! This was such a sham. I waited til 12 for the sale saw nothing went to sleep. woke up and the sale is over. BOO I'm totally unsubscribing to their list
ReplyDeleteLOVE it and congratulations too... x
ReplyDeleteWow that dress is beautiful! I managed to get some shoes, but all the bitching (mostly from those just pissed they didn't managed to get anything) has put a downer on it.
ReplyDeletei got a stunning dress, I think it's a shame that people are acting like they had some right to get an item, if your not out of bed you only have yourself to blame!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations - how fantastic! That really is a beautiful dress. I tried and tried but couldn't even make it on to the site! By the time it let me in it was all over :( It was always going to be a bit of a lottery but fun to try. Just like the anticipation of going shopping! x
