Continuing my monthly series where I bare my soul, and share just how much I’ve been spending on clothes!
After my online spending spree in April, I honestly thought I wouldn’t need to buy anything for another 6 months! But when I see something cute or pretty AND it fits, it’s so very, very hard to leave it in the store … I was going REALLY WELL until yesterday when I picked up a few goodies while out shopping with Miss 19 on her day off 😉 .
Op Shopping Rules!
The first item I bought in May was this cute kimono jacket (label: Rockmans), perfect for “between seasons” dressing. I picked it up from my favourite op shop, for just $4.50.
Katies Markdown
I fell in love with this Katies waterfall vest, originally $49.95 marked down to $29, slashed by an extra 30% off – so I paid just $20.30.
It was all going so well …
I’d spent less than $25 all month and was feeling pretty pleased with myself. Until yesterday!
I’ll also let you in on a little secret. See the top in the pic above? It’s actually a pyjama top! True story! I bought it at Best and Less for $12 (see below), along with a robe ($30 reduced to $15), and some new heaven pants for dagging around home ($8). I don’t actually wear winter pyjamas – I get too hot in bed – but when it’s cool in the evenings or first thing in the mornings, I still like to have something warm to pull on.
This wasn’t the end of the bargains from Best and Less. My new peasant top (below) was $28 reduced to $15, Miss 19 insisted it was gorgeous and that I had to get it. Who am I to disobey my daughter?! LOL. I’m wearing it with my last season Millers denim jeggings*, and my new Kmart flats (were $20, now half price).
And so now we come to the bottom line of my May Fashionomics Report …
