I want to share a secret with you




Hello again! How has your week been? Here we are, suddenly in May and I can't account for where April went. I've been so busy of late, both at work and home, dashing back and forth to the mainland three times in four weeks for various health checks and honestly it's been hectic. I'm off to the mainland again tomorrow for my Glaucoma check-up which has been delayed since 2020 and then hopefully things will settle down.




Anyway, I do want to share a secret with you today, and it's a website called Secret Label - please click on the link to see more. This family-run online clothing outlet has made it its business to save clothes from going into landfill sites by taking on the excess from designer brands such as Karen Millen, Coast and Reiss as well as high street brands Zara, M&S, Phase Eight, Warehouse, White Stuff and Monsoon to name a few. All clothes are brand new with the only concession Secret Label makes is to remove the labels meaning they can then offer huge discounts on all of these brands. 




I've been a customer of Secret Label for some time now, buying clothes for both my husband and son for Christmas as well as finding bargains for myself last autumn. More recently the brand invited me to become an ambassador for them. Their ethos is one that I can honestly support as diverting fashion from landfill surely has to be a commendable way to run a business. To recycle clothes in any shape or form is a good thing, one that I have advocated on the blog for years, and this intervention is another way to keep clothes in the loop and best of all, at a discounted price. And never has there been more pressure on the retailer to keep prices down as the consumer is on the brink of one of the most difficult economic times in recent history. As energy prices continue to soar and food prices rise we'll all be looking for ways to save money when buying clothes. 




My frock today is from Joules via Secret Label. I do pop into the Joules branch in Truro but the prices are what hold me back rather than the clothes themselves. I'm thrilled to be gifted this to showcase to you as part of this promotion. The dress is 100% viscose and has a lovely, weighty drape to the fabric that lends itself to the odd twirl or two. The shirt front opening, buttoned sleeves and fabulous fit and flare skirt are all finished to the high standard you'd expect from Joules. It's an utterly feminine shape.




The navy and pink colourway is classic and so pretty too. I chose to accessorise in pink and purple - the stretch belt in purple is an oldie but goodie as are my pink sock boots from H&M.




My mini pink Candy bag by Furla is the perfect ploy for this fun look today. My pink ring was a present from a friend and the white one was a charity shop find from years ago.




Pink fishnet tights are my way of adding my own unique style to the look - essential for me if I'm basing my outfit on high street fashion. God forbid that I might look too ordinary!




My necklace is from Zara and sunglasses are my old favourites from Quay Australia. 





Ooops, I almost forgot to mention that if you use my code ANNA15 you can get 15% discount on your online order with Secret Label. That's pretty much the icing on the cake when you see what bargains can be found on their site!




Thanks for joining me again today. Later this month I'll be celebrating my 7 years of blogging and I already have a rather fabulous outfit to share with you for that. Now that's sorted I simply have to alight on the perfect photo shoot location on this tiny but diverse island. Not too terrible a chore, eh?

Wishing you a great week!

  1. What a lovely outfit. Navy with pink is one of my fave combos. I hadn't heard of Secret Label so looking forward to a browse. Joules do an outlet shop on ebay I have bought a number of things including some very good bargains.

    1. Oh goodness Tessa, don't throw even more temptation in front of me! My favourite thing about Joules is how they use a pattern for their linings - lovely!

  2. Hi Anna, sorry but it seems so, my comment from April is disappeard… I‘was also on the run in the last weeks. And, to be honest, not only with working and everyday errands, I stayed in Paris vor six. You surely can imagine how wonderful Paris looks in springtime!
    So, back to your outfit. You could never look cheapy, in my opinion, you are not the type woman. You look individual, chic and stylish!
    Looking forward to your next springtime outfits.
    Hugs from Cologne,
    Susa

    1. Hi Susa

      I've taken a look through the old comments and couldn't find yours there, sorry. Thanks for your generous compliments. Look out for an upcoming post where I was mistaken for a bag lady - not sure what the translation for that would be ;(

    2. Aha, just saw that at least my last comment reached you... there was a missing word in my sentence: six days in Paris!

      So far, I'd always take a test when commenting to make sure, that I'm not a robot. This test is now missing and so I was unsettled...
      Hugs, Susa (retired since May, 1th)

  3. I love this outfit Anna! And thanks for sharing Secret Label. I love the idea of saving clothing from the landfill. (I never send clothing back for that reason, unless it’s defective.) Off to check out Secret Label.
