1. The LBD
There’s nothing like trying on the most perfect staple item in the world…and then finding that it’s only $15! I love the simple-ness of it, despite the slight sparkle in the material. And the peephole in back just adds something special.
I took this bag to the counter thinking I was about to pay $80 – and was only charged $35! It’s the most gorgeous, camel-coloured Kate Hill handbag, with gold buckles and an amusing flap at the front that makes it look like a satchel from one side! I found it just as the handle on my Jute Not Plastic bag from One Colour was down to its last strand of heshen. Ah, fate.
Kate Hill, $35
3. The black pants
Another bargain. The little sparkles around the top make them less than usual, too! At this stage I realised my shine/sparkle obsession had gone too far, and put the incredibly shiny skirt DOWN. But I do like these pants – it’s rare for me to wear anything but a dress when I go out for an actual occasion, so maybe this will change it.
Huckabees, $15
4. The white patent shoes
OH. MY. These are THE most adorable shoes I have ever owned. AND they only cost me $10. I’ve coveted Mary Jane heels for a while now, and when I saw these at the markets I fell in love. I got the second to last pair – somehow the man selling them guessed that I had an Irish background and called it, “the luck of the Irish”. I don’t care what it is, but I’m glad!
5. The winter jacket
Now, I realize that Australia is currently in the height of summer, but I’m not letting that bother me a single bit. I saw a jacket similar to this locally last year, but the only size and colour was a red large, and I couldn’t justify that no matter how much I liked it. When I saw the black small, I just couldn’t resist! And there’s not too long to wait before I can wear it…
Unknown brand, $35
6. The ugly shoes
Yep, they’re just so ugly that I had to buy them. And I have ever intention of wearing them with formal dresses during the day.
7. The espadrilles
I love the colours in these, and I’ve always had a thing for cork-type heels like this. Although I hate tying things around my ankles because they’re pretty chubby for my size, I think it’d be okay over skinny jeans or leggings. We’ll see.
Nine West, $19
8. The casual dress
Months ago when I noticed that my wardrobe was devoid of blue clothing, I went on a rampage. Now it is predominantly filled with navy, cobalt and aquamarine...I just can't win! This will be used for layering, though.
Jackson & Bates, $24.95
Peace out, x
