So a week ago I promised myself that I would stop spending money and start saving - in short this meant no more clothes, no more shopping addiction. Then today, with less than a weeks notice, I get an invite to one of my old best friend's engagement party.
Bring on a slight sense of panic as I raid my wardrobe, chucking clothes everywhere, covering every space possible. Absolutely nothing. I mean I own a number of dresses but nothing was quite right, either they had been worn on a number of nights out already (I swear I recycle sometimes), just too dull or maybe I do just have a problem and this was a perfect opportunity to push the saving idea back a week or two.
Thank god for ASOS.com
3 hours later and I had a number of choices, can't purchase them all, can I?
So like I said, choices, choices, choices. Well I have ordered all of them, with every intention of sending all but one back (or maybe 2, I'm sure there will be another event soon right? Technically I would be saving on delivery).
Oh and I've already ordered the perfect little shoes, clutch bag and jewellery. I couldn't resist.
Oh...and btw, I totally recommend ASOS Premier. This gives you unlimited next day delivery for only £9.95, think how many times you can order a year. And they have started ASOS Rewards. I was picked to take part in a trial where you earn points for purchases (these then turn into reward codes = money off future clothes!!!).....make sure you sign up for this too!
Can't wait to see the postman in 3-5 business days
Saving starts now....
Those accessories are absolutely gorgeous!! You are going to look so beautiful! <3

Loved your picks, I think if I HAD to pick, it would be the high necked asymetrical dress though! All look awesome.
