Fashionomics Report – April 2017

Janet Camilleri · 01/05/2017 ·

Huzzah! At last the drought has broken …

On Easter Saturday I was going a little stir crazy so hit the shops for a bit of retail therapy, and found there were plenty of bargains to be had.

For starters, Millers had 40% off for members. So I came home with this hanky hem sundress with shirred bodice – was $30, I paid $18. Might get a couple more wears out of it before the weather cools down, and I’m sure it will be a firm favourite next summer!

BONUS – I can even get away with wearing it, without a bra 😉 . How’s that for comfort?!

And from Crossroads:

  • a tank top in rose – was $24.95 marked down to $10;
  • This silky top will be great for layering – and was on sale for $10 (originally $39.95) and further reduced to $5;

swirly top

  • A cold shoulder t-shirt top with lace panel in aubergine $20;

ots top

  • And this fit and flare dress, was also $20 down from $39.95.

Yes, they are all summery items – because the reality is that’s what I wear 9 months of the year here in Bris-Vegas.

I was also in need of some new shoes, I had no black heels since my last ones fell apart several months ago.

Diana Ferrari high heels with strap

These Diana Ferrari heels from Mathers were originally $149.95, reduced to $99.95.

However there was a “buy one pair of shoes get the second pair half price”, and Miss 20 and I both bought a pair – so it worked out to $75 each 🙂 .

And, a pair of black ballet flats from Target, reduced from $15 to $10 🙂 .

I really need to replace my black knee high boots too but just haven’t found any that I like, that are in my price range … maybe next month!

    I want a new casual jacket for winter but I really don’t like anything I’ve seen in the shops this season. They aren’t styles that will suit me.

      It could be the time of year. I rarely find anything this time of year, the colours are all wrong for me (unless it’s summer stock that’s on sale!).
