The hot weather has well and truly arrived here in Bris-Vegas – which means the most comfortable option is a casual summer dress.
In November I bought three!
Online clothing store The Unique You had a great one day sale, so I seized the opportunity to buy a couple of dresses I had been eyeing off for a while.
Only size 16 was left in this black and copper number (original price $85) so I bought it – and then took it in at the sides as I’m more of a 14. It’s really soft and floaty (I seem to have a thing for floaty garments at the moment!).
And – it looks like drop waist dresses are back! The sleeves are a bit restrictive on this one (originally $88) so I am thinking of once again testing my amateur sewing skills by removing them.
The two dresses set me back $47.63 including $7 postage, so I was very happy with my online shopping bargain. They even arrived with a lovely note and a pair of complimentary (and complementary) earrings!
If you haven’t already, do yourself a favour and check out the Unique You website. They cater for women sizes 14 and above, and I love how they show many of the styles on real women, not just models.
Hubster and I were browsing the Sunday markets when I came across a stall with heaps of boho/hippy/tie-dyed dresses. I knew I had to take one home as it would not only be perfect for our upcoming trip to Bali, but also for everyday wear (working from home means I need to stay cool and casual). I can’t find the receipt but I’m pretty sure it was $25. (As my package from The Unique You hadn’t yet arrived, I didn’t realise how similar these two dresses would be … but I regret nothing!)
And finally, I couldn’t decide between these two swimsuits from Best and Less – but with a 30% off sale, I could afford to buy both! Instead of paying $25 each, I got the pair for $35. Bargain!
NOVEMBER SUMMARY

And with that, I’ve just gone over my budget of $1000 for the year. Question is: will I make any further purchases in December?!
Now it’s your turn – tell me about your latest fashion purchases! Do you ever buy clothing online? As you can see, I am starting to (this could be dangerous)!
