Back to normal programming today, I think some of you were quite shocked to log on and see a pair of ugg boots yesterday!
So there is a chain store I suppose you could call it here in Australia called Sussan. As a comparison it would sit somewhere between Next, Marcs & Spencer and FCUK in the UK, for American readers I’m not sure so perhaps one of you can enlighten me.
Of late it has followed the trend that many other middle of the road womens’ chain stores have and refocussed it’s designs to become more ‘fashion forward’ as they say.
I suppose in order to capture a new/younger market, particularly in these tough economic times.
Anyhow, I’m telling you all this because it’s not somewhere I would normally shop but as I walked past the other day I noticed big red signs with 50% off storewide. Who am I to refuse a bargain?
I had no idea I would find these gems in store, when I say refocus their designs I mean have done a 180 degree turn around since the last time I shopped there.
On top of that, the grand total of the shirt, lace vest, and scarf-come-curtain tie was $217.
I paid $59 on sale.
Happy days!
Happy Friday!

wow, last time i checked sussan was the place my grandma shopped at. i think i'm going to have to go and have a look-see
ohh I shall have to pop in tomorrow and check this out!
I love your lace vest! I've been looking for something like that. Too bad I don't like in Australia.
This is a lovely outfit. Love the lace vest x
nice outfit!
i love the lacey top!
Heehehe that lace waist coat is really cute!
I think the American equal of Sussan could be J Crew? Just taking a guess...
My mum's name is Susan and she shops at Sussan purely because of the name.

.....at Sussan...man I haven't shopped there in years. I always thought it was a bit of an old lady store although I did used to buy bit pieces in there when I was in high school.
Cute vest :)
I've actually found it annoying that shops like Sussan are aiming at a younger market. I've been looking for ages for clothes to wear to work and no one seems to sell basic suits and things like any more.
Oh my gosh I can't believe you got that from Sussan!!! You look great!
Meanwhile, it must have really improved if it's being compared to Jcrew! The last time I was near a Sussan's was 2 years ago... and at that point, it was a mumsy as can be and nothing like jcrew... Anyway, glad it's become such a great store! and what an amazing score you made!
ps... now I have the ad song in my head :)
love the vest
i work at sportsgirl and they're are having big sales to...
sportsgirl is part of the sussan group so it may be the whole company that are having sales?
i love it how both brands sell styles that are ageless. The clothes can't be branded upon one single age group, making the clothes more versatile.
