Grey knit scarf:  $1 @ EFADS.

Now I wish I didn't buy the other one-this one's exactly the one I want!  The other one has grey tinsel interspersed, but I didn't think they would have such a perfect option like this one.  For the price, I thought it was worth picking up another one. 

I'm hoping I can find a black one sometime soon.  Not surprisingly, they seem to go really fast.

Didn't know Le Chateau had their own 'magazine'.  I guess that's the fashionable thing to call it, but this one's really just a catalog...at least H&M includes articles.

Grey knit scarf
White knit scarf

$1 each @ EFADS.

I was surprised-these are actually pretty nice for the price.  If I can find any more of the same colour, I'll sew them together to make a thicker scarf.  They're fine as is, but sometimes you want something more plush.

Black pearl ring:  $1.06
Pink pearl ring:  $.99
White layered lace skirt:  $2.26
Black lingerie set:  $2.50


Leopard corset/skirt/string set:  $13.49

All off Ebay.

The skirt was a nice surprise-way better quality than I expected, unlike some of the tulle ones I purchased previously.

The leopard set on the other hand, was a complete disappointment.  The quality was way worth than expected.  Definitely not worth the price, especially considering how much better this one ended up being.

3 x Padded camisole sets:  $2 each @ EFADS
Leopard chiffon scarf:  $1.25 @ EFADS
Dri-wear socks:  free @ Mark's Work Warehouse (RSP:  $7.99)
Ear plugs:  $.40 @ Mark's Work Warehouse

Sometimes the dollar store can really surprise you-I probably should have just bought one camisole set to test, but I didn't want to risk missing out on them.  If they look alright, it would be such a steal! 

They're padded and come with cute boy shorts.  Here's hoping...if they look good, I'll get at least one more in red.

I was a bit undecided on the leopard scarf, since I'm sure they were selling them for only a dollar just a few months back..too bad I didn't pick one up then.  This was the only leopard one, and they're about the same price on eBay, so it came home with me.

Mark's work warehouse was having another promotion-these are the best socks I've ever tried, so I just had to pick up another pair when I heard about their promotion.  I bought the cheapest thing in the store, just like last time...I still haven't used the last pair!

Philosophy - vanilla body wash/shampoo bubble bath:  free @ Sephora (RSP:  $6)
Birthday freebie and a sample from Sephora!  It pays to be a beauty insider. 

Zebra print dress:  $3.06
Chiffon tunic dress:  $2.03
Black/red lingerie set:  $1.93
Gloves:  $2.25
Animal t-shirt:  $1

All off Ebay.

The tunic was a steal!  It was actually way better quality than I thought it would be.

Conversely, the zebra dress was way worse than I thought.  I kind of wish I didn't buy it. 

I thought I was passed the cute stage, but I just had to have that t-shirt.  I'm surprised it's not engrishy, and I got it for such a great price.

The seller sent me the wrong gloves so they refunded me-the gloves were supposed to be ruched as shown, but they just sent me plain ones.

""The Abduction of Psyche" - Bouguereau framed print:  $4.99 @ Value Village

Finally!  I've been looking for this print for years-it's my favourite painting.  Nobody does expressions better than this guy.

I'm really glad I didn't shell out the $100 it goes for on the internet.  I'd like to find the other Cupid/Psyche print the above artist did, then a certain Guido Reni print, and then I'll be set!

Padded bandeau bra:  $2.50
Long white gauze skirt:  $2.86
Black lingerie set:  $3.17

I'm so in love with that rosette jacket-I just need one in white and I'll be set!

Red quilted purse:  $5.27
Long bow gloves:  $2.10
Long gathered gloves:  $1.99
Stewardess costume:  $3.25

All off Ebay.

I kind of wish I paid less for the gloves since I saw them cheaper later on-oh well, they're gorgeous anyway.

I thought I might have been able to wear the costume as a top, but it turns out it has gold lame accents..I don't think it's going to work out.

The bag arrived damaged so the seller refunded me.  Since they shoved it in an envelope, it came flattened with a big crease in the front...I don't really think it's usable anymore..

Ruffled lace top:  $2.06
Blue crochet tank top:  $1.54

PVC zipper skirt:  $1.65
Pearl heart necklace:  $.99
Padded leopard camisole:  $5.06

All off Ebay.

I'm pretty happy with this lot-most of them were better quality than expected.  Too bad the t-shirts are so engrishy-I'll probably only wear them at home.

Black studded bow flats (RSP:  $14.50)
Pointy zipper flats (RSP:  $14.50)
Pointy denim lace up flats (RSP:  $18.50)

3 for $10 @ Ardene.

I went back to the same cheap Ardene I went to before-I really wanted to come back sooner, but didn't really want to come for that alone.  Since I ended up with a mandatory bus pass, I finally decided to come.

I don't really like flats that much, but these were just too cute to pass up!  Normally the quality is kind of crappy, but these ones were decent.  The bow ones aren't that great, but the leopard lining really swayed me..the other two are actually very nice quality.

Crystal rose pearl bracelet:  $2.44
Chunky gray rose bracelet:  $1.61
Polka dot chiffon dress:  $2.28
Grey chiffon dress:  $3.58
Black slip dress:  $1.95
Pink bow lingerie set:  $3.25
Pink ruched lingerie set:  $3.06

All off Ebay.

The lingerie was pretty disappointing-the pictures were so enticing, but they ended up being pretty cheap quality.  I really wish I didn't pay as much as I did.

Ditto on the grey chiffon dress-the quality is pretty low in person.  The other ones weren't that spectacular either, but not worse than expected, especially considering how cheap I bought them for.
