Last year in June I actually didn't spend any money courtesy of having a birthday which meant presents. Lots and lots of presents. Which kind of ran into July's where I only brought 2 things; a pair of floral canvas shoes which I absolutely love and which I wear heaps.
My only regret is that I didn't buy two pairs at the same time as I'm going to be devastated when these pretties finally fall apart. Luckily for me they are holding on really well in terms of wear and tear so I'm hopeful that they will be with me for at least another year, maybe even two.
My other item was a 3-pack of super cute socks, which I have also managed to which a few times so complete success in terms of purchases for last year's July.
Now onto this year buys...
Well I had a bit of a blow out and I totally blame it on the fact that I was leaving work. Suddenly I realised I needed all the things, especially some more casual clothes for all the lounging around home I was going to be doing. So naturally of course a little spending was needed.
Purple T-Shirt - $8 from Kmart
Kmart is my ultimate bargain shop. They have so many pretty things and all at awesome prices. Sadly my nearest Kmart is a bit of drive way which is probably a good thing as I would be just about living there if it was any closer.
I just love this style; long sleeves, scoop neck, super soft and super warm and all in a pretty purplish colour. Naturally I had to buy another.
And the second one. This time in a pretty denim blue colour.
I've already been wearing both of these heaps in past month so they have been the perfect buys.
A bargain buy from an under $10 rack this T-shirt is a lovely orange shade (more orange than the coral which the photo shows) and ribbed, Like the ones above it is also super soft and super warm and makes a nice splash of colour in these dreary gray winter months.
I know right? I really didn't need any more socks but as soon as I saw these I knew I had to have them and even better they were only $3 in a clearance sale. Ultimate bargain.
Of course having brought some clothes I then went on a bit of beauty product spree. All things I totally needed. Well maybe not but they were pretty and hardly cost anything so really they were justified and I'm sure I will use them at some stage. So what couldn't I resist?
For my bargain buy I brought a strawberry & chocolate clay mask ($5), 2 lip tints/gloss ($5), an emery board case with an emery board inside it ($3), a candyfloss pink nail polish ($3) and Nature Republic's Aloe Vera Gel ($8.99).
I'm really keen to try the Aloe Vera Gel as this is one of those Korean beauty products I have heard so much about and this one has had lots of rave reviews.
Naturally the spending spree went on. Sometimes you just have to do these things. This time I stocked up on some much needed stationery. I felt I deserved all the pretties to make my plans with. And once again I managed to buy what I wanted at a half price sale. Pretty awesome shopping right there don't you think?
In this collection I brought a storage box ($4), a pen holder ($1.50), 2 pink pens ($1), a small floral notebook ($1), a notepad ($2), a large notepad for my desk ($2), and 3 hardback notebooks ($2 each).
Those socks are THE BEST!
