On my way back from meeting a lovely new client yesterday afternoon at The Mall, I quickly dropped into BHS to see how the new Dorothy Perkins and Wallis concessions are settling into their new home. BHS if I'm honest isn't my favourite store so I don't usually venture into it, it's a bit dark, a bit frumpy and doesn't lend itself to the most uplifting shopping experience (although sometimes they do pull the rabbit out of the bag and have lovely one off pieces and their shoes are quite good) so I was pleasantly surprised to see the new brands injecting some modernity and lightheartedness into the store.
Obviously the collections aren't as varied as in a stand alone shop but the selection was good enough. What really stood out though was Wallis' prints which were bright, feminine and very wearable with this scarf catching my eye in particular. It's all the right colours for this season, is lightweight so easily wearable if it gets a bit hotter (here's hoping). I love the pattern and think it would look great with a white linen vest, boyfriend pair of jeans and some flat sandals. It's £16 in store but if you buy online it's only £12.80.
So next time you're in The Mall, challenge yourself to not walk past BHS, instead have a browse - you might just surprise yourself!
