Fashion: Manchester 50+ Lifestyle Blogger suggests some great bargains in the BLACK FRIDAY SALES

With the Black Friday sales, I thought I’d pop in with an extra Fashion Post as some of these items or very similar ones are now ‘on sale’ on line. There are lots of genuine bargains in many of the clothing stores and I’ve highlighted a few below so it may be time to grab a bargain. (No affiliation or payment received for this post).

I love poncho’s – they’re really easy to just slip on and add an extra layer of warmth over a jumper without looking like Michelin Man… I bought this poncho in Wallis last year and noticed today that they’ve got the same style poncho but in a variety of plain colours on ‘sale’ now with 50% off so instead of £25.00 they are being sold on line for just £12.50. There are also some animal print wrap arounds for £15.00…

 Also available in Black, Cream and a variety of patterns etc.

The animal print wrap below is also available at just £15.00

In my outfit above, the ‘taupe’ colour trousers were purchased from ‘Kaleidoscope’ and I think they look great when worn with black, cream and leopard print. What do you think? I’ve added link to the on-line catalogue item below:

The trousers currently have 21% off and cost £39.95 however, I opened an on line account and received a further 25% off so paid just £29.95. They are very versatile trousers and can be dressed up with high boots or dressed down with casual pumps. They wash really well and I can tell from the quality of these trousers that they are going to last me a long time!

Although the photo below is a bit blurred (sorry), it still gives a feel for what these trousers look like when ‘dressed up’ with a cream jacket (also from Kaleidoscope £39.95) and leopard print shoes which I’ve had for a few years and were from Dune (classic shoes that never seem to date..). Great for a night out to a great restaurant or an evening  trip into Manchester’s Northern Quarter!

 I’d love to hear if you manage to ‘BAG A BARGAIN’ in the Black Friday Sales. I think I’ll be sticking to ‘on line’ purchases though – I couldn’t face fighting the crowds in the stores..
