I forked out £28 on ASOS heels for my Xmas girls’ night out – I thought they were cute but I looked like Mrs DOUBTFIRE
AN ONLINE shopper was left mortified after her brand new kitten heels left her looking like Mrs Doubtfire.
With the festive season in full swing, many fashionistas have been racing to get their hands on the perfect sparkly Christmas outfits – and amongst them is also mum Rebecca.
The beauty lover, 34, already had a look in her mind for the festive get-together with her pals and went on ASOS to find a pair of heels to match the vibe.
”So I wanted some new shoes for my Christmas girls’ night out this weekend and I thought I’ll try some red pointy shoes.”
This is when she decided to check the online fast fashion giant where she found a pair of burgundy red kitten heels selling for £28.
”I’m wearing leather trousers, so you wouldn’t be able to see the heels anyway,” the mum-of-one shared her vision in the video.
Unfortunately for the trendy make-up artist, when the heels finally arrived, they turned out to be an epic fail.
”I tried them on and it’s giving Caitlyn Jenner/Mrs Doubtfire,” Rebecca left everyone in stitches, as she shared the hilarious photo on her page.
Horrified by the purchase, the online shopper also tagged the brand in the caption, writing: ”@ASOS, keep them.
”Deffo don’t recommend,” she warned fellow fashionistas to steer clear of the ”rancid” heels.
Since being posted on the platform, Rebecca’s clip has taken the internet by storm, winning the mum a whopping 90k views.
More than 100 viewers flooded to comments in total hysterics and one person had, fortunately, seen what the kitten heels looked like in person just in time.
”omg girl you saved me these were in my basket I just yeeted them out.”
”Oh they’re …. They’re something,” another was quite lost for words.
”It’s giving Supernanny,” an eagle-eyed social media user joked.
However, the red kitten heels appear to have sparked a fierce debate – as there were also plenty of those who liked the trend.
”I bought these and I love them,” wrote one ASOS fan.
”Omg I love mine, now I’m sat here thinking was I deluded,” another wondered.
Other ways to save money at ASOS
HERE are some of the best ways you can save and get the best prices at ASOS and other outlet stores.
Save money with ASOS Flash Sales and promo codes
Flash Sales are mini-sales that last anywhere between a couple of hours to a few days – such as the ‘Sample Sale’.
When one occurs, an ASOS promo code will often be advertised that can be used on a particular product or range.
Flash Sales also happen around bank holidays and other ‘special’ days like Valentine’s Day, Halloween and April Fools’ Day.
Get an ASOS birthday discount code
When signing up to ASOS, or any retailer for that matter, make sure to put in all your personal details, including your birthday, for special rewards.
If a retailer knows your birthday, they’ll send you a code two weeks before for you to use on full-price items.
Sign up to the ASOS newsletter
Again, this doesn’t just apply for ASOS, but signing up to newsletters keeps you in the loop with all the latest deals and discounts as soon as they’re announced.
By signing up, you’re usually rewarded with a new customer promo code for money off your first purchase.
Buy from the multipack section
Multipack sections often go unnoticed but they’re a lifesaver for saving money on wardrobe essentials.
For example, a plain white ASOS DESIGN women’s t-shirt costs £8* when bought by itself, but a pack of two t-shirts comes in at £15* and a pack of three comes in at £22*.
Get cheaper delivery
While it’s understandable you wan’t your new product as soon as possible, try and pay for the least expensive delivery option – even if it means waiting an extra day or two for it to arrive.
ASOS offers free Standard Delivery (usually £4.50) on all purchases over £40, too.
Find deals in the sales
If you’re looking for ASOS discounts, make sure you check the outlet.
The ASOS Outlet is great for finding cheap out-of-season stock, just as you’d expect at a regular outlet shop. You can find items with huge discounts of up to 70%.
This comes after ASOS made a major change to its return fees, sparking fury amongst shoppers.
The online retailer started charging customers when they return items unless they spend a certain amount.
UK shoppers who frequently return orders will be charged £3.95 unless they keep up to £40 of their order.
The new rule, which has been introduced to crack down on serial returners, came into effect in October.
Talk of the rule change has upset ASOS shoppers, with some even threatening to boycott the online store.
Commenting on X, formally known as Twitter, one user wrote: “The problem for large returns is the fact half of your stock is ill-fitting and poor quality.
“You’re another brand now alienating your loyal customers.”
“Well ASOS if you actually made clothes that fit so I wouldn’t need to buy multiple sizes we wouldn’t have that problem, consider me no longer a customer,” posted another.
While another wrote; “Did you [ASOS] consider that returner fee isolates customers who don’t fit ideal body standards?
“As a curvy girl, I have to order several sizes and often make returns as your sizing is not consistent, now I’m going to be charged for it? Way to make me feel bad about my body.”
