June's Buyer's Archive

A new year of doing Buyer's Archive and so far I managed to spend nothing in May and nearly everything that I brought in June was second hand, so go me.  Even better as it was my birthday in June I asked everyone to give me either money or vouchers so all my spending was courtesy of those gifts.  How cool is that.

So what did I buy?

Black pleated skirt - $1 from the Salvation Army Shop

I made a spur of the moment visit to a local Salvation Army store and ended up coming away with a ton of goodies as they were having a massive clear out of stuff due to being overfull.

This skirt was on a under $5 rack and it seems virtually brand new.  It's a little light weight for the winter but I can wear tights underneath so it's totally versatile which I"ll be able to wear it year round.

Green floral midi skirt - $3 from the Salvation Army Shop

Another awesome bargain and this one really was brand new never-been-worn as it still had it's original pricing tag on it.

I love the buttons up the front.  Pockets would have made it even better. 

One I will probably wear once the weather is warmer. 

Snow Fairy shower gel - $1 from the Salvation Army Shop

I love this so was utterly thrilled to find an almost full bottle sitting on the shelf.  Normally this retails for around $22 so doubly thrilled.   Pink and smells like candyfloss.

5 bottles of nail polish - $1 from the Salvation Army Shop

I know right?  I couldn't believe my luck either.  These are all nearly full and in like new condition i.e. no clumpy bits or hardening so I'm super pleased. 

3 books - $1 from the Salvation Army Shop

Another awesome buy.  I don't normally buy books but these were in excellent condition and all are something that I will definitely use.

3 pack of socks - $5 from Cotton On

You wouldn't think I would need more socks.  Seriously.  I'm starting to think I might have a problem.  Still how cute are these.  And they were on sale so totally justified, right?

2 packs of shoelaces - $5 from Cotton On

Another sale item and in pink so there was no way I was going to resist them.  Definitely a way to bright up my winter black sneakers.

Total spend for the month  - $17.00 (wow I can't believe I got all the above for just that- best birthday shopping ever)

As for previous years buys...

May 2016 - I still have the bangles, the green cardigan, the camisole top and the beige top, all of which I still wear.  But I had to throw out the nightie (got too loose) and the orange jumper (developed a hole right on the front so that was the end of that).

May 2017 - The purple t-shirt is still in my wardrobe but I never did end up wearing the stripe one so it's currently sitting in my To Be Sold pile.
