Hi guys!
So I attended the Great Rail Sale in the Radisson Hotel on Sunday and I have to say I was quite disappointed. It was nowhere as good as I was expecting and the turnout was rather poor in my opinion. I think this was mainly due to the bad weather on the day and the location of the event. The hotel was lovely but I had to get a taxi there as it wasnt where I thought it was and it was hard lugging around a suitcase of 30 dresses. I think a more central location would have been better and easier for shoppers to find.
I only sold 5 dresses despite lowering the price of them as the day went on and they were all either never worn or worn once. A few people commented that the dresses were fabulous but that they were all too small! Well theyre too small for me too now hence why I was trying to get rid of them LOL. Here are a few pics of the day-
Dont get me wrong there were some good points to the day,I got chatting to a personal stylist who advised me how to get into the industry and told me more about it. My lovely cousin Ciara came along to help me set up and sold the first dress while I took a break! I of course found some time to have a look at all the other rails and managed to pick up the following bargins-
I couldnt pass up these items as they were all under 20euro. I especially love the Levi denim cut offs and they were a steal! I was looking at a pair only last week for over double the price.
My second disappointment came when i checked my email this afternoon,I was due to begin a nighttime fashion course in Dublin Institute of Design this week but it has been postponed until the end of January. This is the second time they have postponed it and at the last minute too. So not impressed!!!
On a more positive note there is lots to look forward to in the coming weeks including starting at Urban Outfitters and also attending the afters of a friends wedding (What to wear?!) !
