SCHOOL GATE STYLE

Belfast-based, clothes-loving, shopping-obsessed, mum of 3. Wearable fashion on a budget for busy women

If you only check out one online sale....

...make it the Atterley Road one. And this is not a sponsored post - I'm genuinely impressed with the discounts (up to 75% - are you listening Zara??) and the good news is that at the time of typing, there are plenty of sizes still left. So here's a quick whizz through my favourite items. 
Starting with this Maison Scotch boucle style knitted jacket which comes with a jersey vest. Looks like a super versatile addition to any wardrobe:
Maison Scotch Jacket & Vest - £49 from £140

Next, a wool/cotton mix houndstooth knit. It's a trend led item and a bit marmite but for £19, I'm happy to try the trend out!

Selected Femme Wool/Cotton Geo Jumper - £19 from £60

This is a beautiful wool/cashmere coat from Great Plains - half price at only £59

Great Plains Wool/Cashmere Coat

Ok, I should warn you that there are a few summery items on this wish-list, although it's possible this Whistles dress could be worn year round as it's a wool mix and has black in the pattern? I'd snap this up immediately if I had a wedding this year (any chance Richard & Sarah??!!) 

Whistles Terazzo Silk/Wool Dress - £79 from £165

French Connection & Great Plains make brilliant jeans so these caught my eye for under £30...

Great Plains Basic Denim - £29 from £55

and you know my love for Maison Scotch denim. These are quite similar to the ones I have. Mine are a size 29 (size 12) and are the most comfortable jeans I own.

Maison Scotch Parisienne Jeans - £35 from £108

Next up, this Great Plains top is stunning. You can't go wrong with a cream viscose-style top. Super flattering, matches everything and can be dressed up with a jacket for night-time or dressed down with a cardigan for day-time

Great Plains Choupette Top - £29 from £50

Loving this Zatchels Classic cross body bag in chestnut for only £29 also:

Zatchels Classic Chestnut - £29 from £60

Now these are far from school gate attire but every wardrobe should have a pair of nude sandals and these are only £19, down from £155

Whistles Bellini Sandals (size 40 & 41 only)

and another summery one - gorgeous Ash metallic sandals reduced to less than £30 with good size availability:

Ash Mina Sandals - £29 from £135

and finally, these Ash Genial trainers. Currently available in a couple of popular sizes and  in my opinion, they're definitely the nicest style and height of all the Ash trainers...

Ash Genial Shoe - £69 from £150

So hats off to Atterley Road - a decent sale with proper reductions. But will any of this feature in my January Sale Bargains list? I'm heading into Belfast in the morning to start the search. Keep an eye on the blog to see my 5 items and whether I managed to find them in the sales.

    1. It's a brilliant price for Zatchels - sadly almost everything I linked to is out of stock! Now I suddenly *have* to have it all! Ax

  6. I find that the sales are a good time to buy items which would normally out of my price range. I tend to stick with neutral colours to ensure that they don't go out of date.
