Shoping Addict? ... but i didnt even spend $50! This is a HAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright. I love clothes! guilty as charged sir! bought a couple of items yesterday but TODAY i went to my local markets, and i was so worried that i was going to miss out because we got there an hour before they closed. BEST MISTAKE EVER! i never go there to buy anything in particular but in being late, people dont want to pack thier stuff up and take it home so its all FRIGGIN CHEAP! ARghhhhhhhhhhhh *excitement*

and i didnt even spend $50! waaatttt?? THATS RIGHT! p.s. i had a spare 50 cuz i sold my old recliners, yay for ebay.

So heres what i got...

From 'SES'             'Avocado' Black and White flowy top with neck ruffle - LOVING the zip detail on the back. Was 24.95 paid 6.95

 also from 'SES'      'Tease' black cotton military inspired shirt - the cute studs down the front are actually tiny snap buttons. Was 15.95, paid 6.95

Firstly from the markets the cutest stencils ive ever seen and $1 for 4!! take a minute to look at them, i keep finding something i didnt see before. theyre also 6 x 4 inches so theyre quite small, very kawaii

From the same stall, i got these 2 packs of erasers/rubbers for $1 each - so CUTE, so KAWAII

3 inch Silver/Black enamel Bow skinny (1 inch) cinch belt $2 & 'Supre' loose, sheer and flowy black tank top with silver square dots all over $4

'ICE' Black Crochet and cotton flowy vest $4 & 'ICE' 3/4 sleeve Black Lace and Cotton cropped and flowy cardigan $2

New With Tags 'Peace Angel' Sheer, flowy purple top with breast pocket - tag reads 29.95, paid $2.50 & 'Supre' Long, black, lace top $2.50

'Supre' Black banded lace skirt $2.50  &  New With Tags 'Valley Girl' multi colored, silky skirt - tag reads 24.95, paid $2.50

Are you ready for some SERIOUS Bargains?! 

'PURR' cardigan 50 cents!! How amazing is this print! & 'Dotti' stone coloured cotton peasant style top with embroidery detail - 50 cents!!

 'Design by Humans' stormy clouds T-shirt 50 cents! &   'Jeans West' Grey, v-neck, hooded, sweater/knit dress with pockets 50 FREAKIN CENTS! *runs in circles with excitement and amazement*

The trick was that all of these market finds were so cheap cuz its Sunday and people dont want to pack it up and take it home again - dont be afraid to barter.

and last but not least, i visited my mummy this afternoon and we what!? HIT THE SHOPS! LOL

'Hot Options' sandals from Target on clearance from $12 to $9.88 [I cant believe i found a size 5 at Target, its almost impossible unless i look in the childrens clunky-ass-shoe section]

& 2 pack of knee-high grey and black 'Target' socks, Leopard and ZEEEEEEBRA!!!!!! $10 planning on wearing these in winter with them poking out the top of my Doc Martins and my hooded sweater dress. Sexy much? i think yes!

 Oh! and a bonus, these were pretty much free cuz we used a gift card my mum got for xmas from her work. huzzah for free shit! : )

Leave a comment on which was ur fav item/s and any comments and requests are welcomed.

Alright kiddies, nighty night, i have a long week ahead. Enjoy yours!

OP SHOPPING/ THRIFTING HAUL YAY!

So guess what I did today!? YUP! went op shopping! huzzah! so stoked cuz i havent been in about 4 weeks since i was made redundant from my job in December. So today, i signed up to a swap on swap bot where i needed to buy 2 rabbit items from a thrift store, so off i went with intentions of JUST buying those 2 items..... well, i found them.... and i may have had some fun letting off some built up thrifting rage/ energy, watever you want to call it, but i used to go thrifting weekly so i had ALOT of fun today and i only spent 44.50!

Check it out!

'Supre" Cream colour jersey tunic with dark brown button detail $3

"Girl Express" green floral tank top $2 Loving this print

 "Crossroads" Grey jersey tunic with bead, sequin and rhinestone detail $3 Ive just tied a ribbon around the waist as an example of how i might wear it.

 "Sussan"  pink cotton shirt with pin-tuck detail 75cents

 "Funktion" Grey basic jersey shirt [photo makes it look lighter than it really is] 75cents

NOTE: im freaking loving this one! Cream coloured "ViViC" floral hooded short sleeve shirt with kangaroo pocket 75 CENTS!!!

 Valleygirl 3/4 sleeve pink jersey top with cute button detail on the sleeve 75 cents!

 ValleyGirl tweed/plaid shorts with black skinny belt 50% off = $2

 TEMT pinstripe black knee length strapless dress $5

 "RACHAEL & CHLOE" Black and Silver Sequin Dress - satin sash neck detail ties around back of neck [see 2nd picture]  I actually went back to the store and bought this - it was only $5 after the 50% off sale today. Its not something i would usually wear, slightly reminds me of a prostitute but i figured i could make it work. PLUS my name was on the tag and its freakin zebra! after i tried it on, it was soooo short - i mean, im only 5'2" and the split up the back didnt even kinda hide my bum so i dont know how anyone of normal height could have ever worn this as a dress..... anyway,,im planning on making it into a top instead [example picture shown].         

Stuffing and Grey jersey knit fabric $2 each

2 x lacey tops just to cut up for sewing projects 50 cents each

 OMG!! im a total cat lady people! this is a puzzle!! cant wait to put it together and frame it. = $5

Vintage? Musical Jewellery box - this is not painted wood, its like paper or something, so cute = $2

 Vintage? Musical box - u twist the base this sits on to make it sing, it also turns as its unwinding/singing. this is also made of paper. love it! = $2

This cute necklace with filigree leaves, 3D heart and pink tear drop crystal and drop chains =$3

And last but not least...

"Alive Girl" light grey boat neck Sweater dress = $3! ive tied this with a ribbon as an example how i would wear it to give it shape,The print reminds me of fashion sketches.  i just love these women on the front. Id like to think theyre french, cuz they look fancy like that   : P

As you can see, if you look hard you can find some awesome stuff at thrift stores at a great price. not one of these items is damaged in anyway, not pilling or any holes. So if you havent yet - go searching, dig through the bins, youll be amazed and no one ever has to know that you bought it from a thrift shop, unless youre like me who likes to brag that i didnt pay full price and bought all these items for the price of 1 brand new item
: D

okay, thats all, thanks for lookin...    bye!

p.s Hi MADAM Steph! miss you xox
