This River Island dress is the Thursday bargain we didn't know we needed.

The summer sales have started although given that summer never really began, it's a bit disappointing. On the bright side, the weather is reportedly set to pick up next week and maybe you have a getaway to sunnier climes planned. Either way, there are some amazing discounts on this season's must-haves and we are completely obsessed. The high-street sales have just kicked off and there's one piece we spotted immediately...this gorgeous River Island dress. It's the Beige Spot Puff Sleeve Tea Dress and by some divine miracle, it's still available in all sizes which is extremely surprising for sale stock. This particular item has been reduced from €50 to €18 and it's just the perfect summer piece. Polka dots are everywhere at the moment, the puff sleeves are just gorgeous and we love the neutral colours too as they can be easily paired with items you have already, winning. It's an online-only bargain too so once shoppers get wind of it, it's sure to sell out in record time. Some of the best bargains are online only purchases too and another must-have that's sure to disappear quickly is the Cord Slip Dress. It's been reduced from €40 to just €14 and at the time of writing, it's available in all sizes. Pop it with trainers and a denim jacket and the major advantage of this piece is the fact that you'll be able to wear it for winter too by layering with t-shirts and jumpers. Those are just two of the bargains we spotted while browsing and if you're in the mood to pick up a couple of bits, now is the time because all the best bits go first. What are you waiting for?
