Browns have started theirs tonight, the one thing I had my eye on isn’t included🙄
I’ve just got beauty products that are reduced like Revitalash which has 25% off.

That’s good I’m out as well hopefully the shipping isn’t a tenner

Everyone told me off when I wanted the cap and I regretted not getting it. Get it!

I haven’t got the belt yet but I think I’m getting it for Christmas 🤭 I’m not a big hat wearer that’s the only thing. Also cream or black?!

I’m waiting to see if a dress i have my eye on has any discount put on it (it’s not designer, from a small indie brand) and I’ve bought some New Balance which I know won’t have anything off. I am doing the basket dance with a few little bits of jewellery but nothing high end, all mid range stuff.

What bugs me is lots of retailers start their BF sales at the beginning of the week with say, 20% off but you don’t know if they’ll increase the discount by Friday so should you hang on? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Either wait until Friday to do your sale or cut to the chase straight away I say!

Working on the other side (in tech, so can’t speak for in store experiences tbf) I can assure you that promotion mechanics are complicated enough 😂 and that I’ve never worked a BF where they’ve changed them mid week. The “most” they’d do is run the promos for a few extra days.

Also your previous comment was dead right - reductions or GWP are largely overstock they want rid of.

I’d get the cream/sand it looks more luxurious than black imo. I have the belt but I’ve gained some stress pounds and it no longer fits around my jeans only round my waist ☹

I stalled getting the Celine belt as I wasn't sure if I want black or brown. Then I thought I'd get a reversible belt but I don't like any.

I want a belt I can wear in all seasons. Black seems harsh with summer clothes, so I think brown will be better. But in the winter, I wear a lot of black. Views on mixing brown and black? Heeeelp.

This is the dilemma I have, I feel like I need everything in black for black/monochrome outfits AND brown for cream/neutrals outfits 👀

I’ve come from the other end also and I do take advantage of the discounts, but only what I would have bought anyway.

100%, like if what you wanted is discounted overstock then brilliant it is genuinely a bargain then! Just wish retailers were more transparent with this tbh. A lot use a loyalty mechanic now anyway, which similarly is only worth it if you’re definitely going to shop there next year. And in some cases if you believe the business you’re shopping from to be a going concern! 🤭

ETA - there are also some industry folk on the Topshop nostalgia thread, I’ve been tempted to do a fashion industry thread before but idk if I want to read what it may surface 😂😳

Loooool I hear you there 😂😂😂 I don’t know if I could reveal anything, I’m sure I’ve blocked out more than half!

Yeah I have a list of things I’ll look at and tbf, the pre BF discounts are usually good enough for me anyway. I look at my Christmas gift list also this time of year

Bigger buys designer I usually like staples so you have no chance, they want that seasonal trend piece gone out of their warehouse

Flannels are giving £100 gift voucher for every £500 spent online or in store. Im after a new belt so will probably order from their rather than direct to take advantage of the offer.

Thanks for the insight @heretoreaditall2019 👌🏼 And cream @judgejohndeed !!

Speaking of beauty products (I know not really the right thread but) has anyone any recs for eyebrow growth/thickening serum? Mine are pathetic.

I use RevitaLash for my lashes, it’s gone up in price savagely since I started using it but a full bottle lasts me a year. It’s amazing for my lashes so I’m thinking the brow stuff must be good too?
my friend uses RapidBrow and has noticeable growth and it’s considerably cheaper!

Interested to see if anyone has tried The Ordinary lash/brow serum x
