The Outnet birthday sale take two...

Almost a year ago to the day I was stuck in the office on a Friday afternoon and managed to grab myself an amazing dress from the first birthday sale over at The Outnet.  You can read about it here.  That sale will go down in folklore with all the angry fashionistas missing out and crashing the site in a stampede.  I clicked forward through a couple of pages so avoid the early items that would be snapped up first and found a dress in my size.

This year, The Outnet drew out "tickets" for crowd control purposes and lucky ol' me was a winner! Unfortunately my computer at work was being a sook, refusing the load the website.  A colleague came to my rescue and let me use her computer about 15 minutes after the sale opened.  Apart from some very casual items, there wasn't much left in my size.  The handbags were long sold out, so I picked up this cute Donna Karan knit.  1 pound and free shipping.  May as well say it was free.

Thank you to The Outnet - it was much better organised than last year I think.  Only shame is that once you purchase you get kicked out.. Can't even browse what the remaining items or have a look at what was on offer in the first place.  Guess we can't win them all.

Balmain sale - The Outnet

Despite the 70% off, can any of us really afford to pay AUD5,000 for a cotton sequined top?  I think not.

But how exquisite is this whole look?  The white, the bow, the sequins?
