buying summer clothes in winter??

Hi i am off to Goa in a couple of weeks, and i always leave it until the last minute to buy flipflops, bikinis, shorts etc.
The only things i can find are mens shorts in sports shops

.

I looked all over town yesterday for flipflops, with no such luck. But i have just orded some off additionsdirect, as they are having a sale.

I bought a nice pair of shorts for half price £4, a bikini for £5, and 2 pairs of flipflops for £10, which works out at 5pounds each. I thought the flipflops were a bit expensive, but thats the only place i could find them.

If anyone knows of any other shops which are currently selling cheap summer clothes can you post the info

thanks

Nicola

Not cheap maybe, but Next have their spring/summer range out now. It's an option if you get stuck and you can usually have it within 2 days even if you order in store.

Hi Pip

, i cant get my flipflops in Goa as i am a size 8 foot :yikes

. The only ones that fit me are the mens haha.

As for bikinis, i have seen a lot of stalls selling them in Goa over the years, but as i am a size 14/16, none will fit me, especially on the top :oops:

Primark have very reasonably priced beachwear all year round and will possibly start bringing in new stuff for spring in the next few weeks :wink:

If you don't do "Primani" then you could look at ASOS; or Amazon have a great range of flip-flops and swimwear. :-D

Thanks again everyone for all your help :tup

That MandM website seems to be very cheap. I bought a couple of t-shirts before christmas for my brother, as he is into 'named' stuff with him being a teenager. I refuse to pay 20pounds for 1 t-shirt, but i got the same one as on the highstreet for 7pounds. What a bargain.

Walks - i know exactly how you feel. In summer i bought a bikini from Asda, in a size 18, even though i am only a size 14/16, but it still wouldnt fit on the top, and the bottoms were too big

Might be worth trying eBay or similar sites - I've done that in the past when holidaying "out of season" , and you can easily buy brand new stuff, even brand names.

I often buy holiday bits and bobs off of Ebay as you can get some really good bargains.

My wife got two pairs of puma flip flops for £10. I think that was from the littlewoods additions online too! They look cool too! I don't know if they go up to an 8 though!

No way, I still can't understand why they were only £2. :rofl

Looking for a quiet place so I can wear them, any ideas??
