H&M Sale Findings

I forgot to update about my H&M findings from the crazy sale a few weeks ago! I actually ended up returning a lot of stuff, cuz as cheap as it was I told myself I really didn't need another black tank top!

Little bootie shorts ;) I loved the color of these shorts, bluish-gray. It's really soft and comfy for the gym or around the apt in the summer. I actually don't have that many pairs of shorts so for $5 why not? L.O.G.G. for H&M, org $12.99 -> $5





These rings were really cute and goes with outfit. I already got two compliments. (H&M, $5.49 for 4 pk.)

H & M Sale

OMG.... H& M sale! Seemed like the majority of the store was for the racks and racks of sale stuff. Go GO GO!! $3, $5, $10, $15, $20 tons of stuff.

My laptop is being fixed so updates of my H& M finds later!

Summer's Here

When I heard about the $1 flip-flop sale at Old Navy....I called them to see how early they open! People were walking around with armfuls in every color. I couldn't be adventurous so I stuck to a gray pair and a dark blue pair.

I need to walk around with blinders on, I was about to head to the cash register except a dress caught my eye. I love the pattern, the dress screamed: "casual summer day!" I went through my mental inventory of my dresses and definitely had nothing like this so that was a green light.
(Old Navy, $15)
I wore it to a BBQ half an hour later :)

No Longer Consignment Store Virgin

I've never had any problem with the idea of vintage, second hand, or Goodwill stores, but I guess I just don't really have a lot of friends that would say "Hey, let's go to Goodwill today!" So I've never really shopped at those kinda places. But a few weeks ago I was in SF's famous "Haight-Ashbury" neighborhood with an old friend, she and her boyfriend wandered into a Goodwill store and I had to go in. I didn't really expect to find anything great, but the most time I spent in there the more I started really looking. And I found this....

I couldn't believe I found GAP at a Goodwill store. I made sure it had no stains or tears. It was a black blazer with a shiny lining. I rolled up the sleeves to make it more trendy. Slight, tiny-weeny problem, it was a size 6...but since it's a jacket it didn't look too obvious that it was big on me. For $8.99 a size 6 is NOT a problem.

I am ashamed to say that I had my biases and boy did Goodwill prove me wrong and open my fashion eyes a little.

Bargain Hunting At It's Best

Today I broke my self-imposed shopping fast. I've been itching to go shopping and with Spring rolling around it's been super hard to resist. I only poked my head into Target for a look....

I went to the belt/accessory clearance section and found a belt I had been eyeing awhile ago!! They only had a small and an 2XL! I am a small but if they had a medium I would've gotten that one, cuz i like belts that sit low on my hips but oh wells :D


I love the unique double layer it has and the hoops. A very casual, versatile belt that I can wear with a lot of different stuff! (Target's "Mossimo, org. 16.99, sale : $8.49)











I was browsing the clearance racks, I was about the give up when I came across the last rack and I couldn't even tell what kinda dress it was at first - halter? It was all twisted, but I liked the color and it was either XS or XL! In the dressing room I found out it was even better - a one-shoulder dress which I have been wanting to add to my dress collection! I love the little details like the waist and the shoulder-hoop. Kinda "toga-y". I can imagine some gold hoops or braclets and I'm ready for a girl's night out!!! The fabric is a soft like jersey-cotton and swishes around.
(Target's Xhilaration, org. $26.99---> $6.74!)

Can you say, "Hallelujah!"

Shopping Therapy

So the economy has finally caught up with little ol' me. I got laid off last week from my lame-ass part time job- now I have no income. *sigh* what did I do on my first day as an unemployed?

go shopping. yes, I know it seems counterproductive, but you know what...it felt good not to care or stress out about what you can't change. Besides... I was SO on my game yesterday.

Zara Large Tshirt (org. $25) $7.99 + H&M black belt $9.90 w/ 20% off coupon= $7.92







Butternut yellow Maryjanes from Target (org. $16) $4.98


My first Zara purchase- I love the store, never could afford anything, and clearance stuff never have small sizes....they didn't again - I had to get creative!

I am usually a very conservative shoe shopper, I stick to blacks and simple patterned shoes- nothing crazy, but these yellow shoes were my way of stepping out of my comfort zone and they were too cute to resist!

Don't scoff at Target - they actually have some awesome stuff sometimes and buried treasures await in the clearance racks. (I've gotten a corduroy coat for $10 before)
