As usual my spending was very up and down, with me doing a bit of a spend in November then being completely frugal and not spending a cent in December, January and February but having a mini blow out in both March and April.
It will be interesting to see how I've done in the last 12 months. But more about that in a future post.
As for how the year befores buys held up I'm actually really pleased. All three items from November's have been heavily used and are still part of my wardrobe; from March only the floral A-line skirt remains as sadly the camisole got a stain on it that wouldn't come out and the gorgeous navy swirly skirt kept getting hooked on things and being repeatedly ripped until no amount of mending could hold it together; April's faired a lot better and all four items are still in use. So all in all some good buying.
Now on to this six month's buys...
Orange Floral Dress - $5 from TradeMe
A super pretty dress that was an absolute bargain. Less red and more orange than the pics show.
Another super pretty dress that I've been wearing at special occasions like lunch with friends.
I normally don't like to spend quite so much money on clothes but this was on sale and I just loved it. It also looked amazing on AND it had pockets. Pockets I tell you. The absolute heaven of dresses and one which I worn heaps this summer.
I've been wanting to try Soap and Glory products for ages. Finally I did just that and treated myself to a small selection of items. I loved the scrub but sadly was allergic to the body butter which made my eyes water.
And that was November's purchases. After that it was no spending until March when I brought myself these.
Pink Sneakers - $5 from KMart
Would you believe these were just $5? $5 for a brand new pair of sneakers. And they are pink. So course I had to get them. And of course I love them. Super comfy and super pretty.
Green Short Sleeve Knit Top - $25 from Jacqui E
I really wanted some colour in my wardrobe for winter so I was really pleased to find this which I loved so much I got another one. Even better it is a gorgeous emerald green which makes a nice change from my usual pink.
Speaking of pink I got one in that colour too. Though it's more of a purple pink. Either way I love it.
Having seen this in the shop window I couldn't resist it. Even more so when I tried it on. Super soft and comfy and swirly. It's so me.
I know. It looks exactly like the one above but trust me it is different. Shorter and a much finer almost see through knit in the palest of baby pinks. And at that price how could I not get it.
Yes more cardigans. What can I say except I am a cardy person.
Yes I know. Another pink cardigan. Hey at least it's darker. Seriously love this and the above cardigan, both of which I have already worn. Pretty sure they are going to be this winter's favs.
Love, love, love. So soft, so swirly, I just wish I could wear it all the time.
Brought in preparation for the colder weather we have already begun to experience in our new home. Warmer clothes are definitely going to be something that I will be wearing a lot more of.
Your dresses are soooo pretty! Love!
