We’re 287 days into the longest month of the year with no end in sight.
So, if you’re looking for a pick-me-up, don’t forget the January sales are still on.
Yes, there actually is a silver lining to the cold rain and sludge, to the getting up in the dark and getting home in the dark.
Here at Local Women Online, we have put together a collection of some of the bargains you would be mad to miss.
The Brenda Top from Pearl & Grace Boutique is a statement piece that can be worn with or without straps.
Its bold print and eye-catching colours make it ideal for wearing on a warm summer day (we can’t wait) or dressed up on a night out.
Party season might be over, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a little sparkle in your life.
This fabulous Black Sparkle Blazer is still on the sale rails at Style and will make a fabulous perennial addition to any wardrobe.
Crafted from luxurious fabric with subtle sparkle details, it features three-quarter-length sleeves and a lapel neckline.
Keeping with the razzle dazzle theme, the Marc Angelo Cream Sequin Dress – also from Style – is eye-catching and elegant all at once.
This delicate A-line number features a surplice neckline and layered mid-length skirt, which create a wrap effect, long sleeves and a smattering of silver sequins.
It’s depressingly cold at the moment, but it won’t be like this forever.
Time to put a little thought into your wardrobe for the months ahead and the Ariana Jumpsuit from The Boutique will help you stand out from the crowd.
Featuring an elasticated waist, angel sleeves and wide leg, this style is the perfect purchase ahead of the long summer evenings.
Pair with sandals for cooler, casual evenings or dress up with strappy heels and a clutch ready to party the night away.
If you’re looking to expand your denim collection, the July Mom Jean from Ros Oir Boutique could well be the answer.
With a high waist, they offer comfort but without compromising on style and will undoubtedly become a staple in your wardrobe.
Team them heels and a sparkly top and blazer for a fun night out, or throw on a tee, baggy hoodie and trainers for a Saturday at the shops.
The Brakeburn Yellow Star Elise Hoodie is sunshine personified – the perfect remedy to the short, dark winter days.
Share your sparkle in this cheerful, yellow hoodie, with a popular cross neck design, drawstring hood and elasticated cuffs from She Boutique.
It oozes slouchy comfort – just what we all need in January – while the boucle embroidery star adds a touch of style and magic.
This Maison Anje Loslo Cardigan from Feather & Stitch is hand knitted in Portugal and is versatile, stylish and so, so cosy.
It has no fastening at the front so it can be worn over dresses as an extra layer, with a formal or relaxed blouse or, to complement your favourite denim jeans.
Finally, forget the January blues with this Cimone Greek Blue Relaxed Pullover from Ruby 67 Boutique.
A gorgeous, everyday knit in a stunning Greek blue colour and in a relaxed fit that will brighten up a simple pair of jeans or work trousers.
