Brown jogging pants:  $1.99
Hot Kiss jeans t shirt:  $1.99

Both @ District factory outlet

I don't normally bother looking around Chinatown since I can get better deals at Liquidation World or Winners, but I was in the area and saw this shop.  It was closing down, so I decided to take a look.

Everything in the $2 bin was flawed in some way (the shirt has a slight run), but I can't find anything wrong with the pants...I wonder if I should be worried.  I only wear these type of pants at home; I already have a lot of pajama bottoms, so I passed on this the first time around.

I decided to go back, since I don't have any other pants exactly like this.  I also decided to really dig in deep this time...and that's when I unearthed the shirt above!

The shoulder detailing is what sold me on it-it's studded with a keyhole relief.  I'm also pretty partial to monochrome prints so I picked it up despite the flaw...it doesn't hurt that both items are new with tags!

Rhinestone buckled hat:  $2 @ Claire's (RSP:  $20.50)
Red plaid hat w/bow detailing:  $2 @ Claire's (RSP:  $13.75)
Porcelain flower candle holder:  $1 @ Chinatown (RSP:  $2+)

I happened to be in Chinatown yesterday, and I also noticed that Claire's was having a 10 for $10 plus other sales-I had to check out my local ones today!  I passed up a red brocade fedora (still not sure if that was a mistake) so I had to snatch this one up.  The other one was just so squished it was structurally damaged, I didn't think it was worth it.

Found the candle holder at a little hole in the wall shop.   It was pretty and cheap so it came home with me.

 

Turquoise cheongsam top (RSP:  $15+)

Pink cheongsam dress (RSP:  $25+)

White sleeveless top

American Apparel tank top (RSP:  $14+)

4 for $10 @ Chinatown

The timing was really funny.  Just recently I was looking at cheongsams online...I really didn't expect to find any in person, and for this cheap!  They normally start at $25 each here, $15 each online.
 

I bought all four pieces of clothing from a vendor at a flea market.  My mom didn't want me to buy them because she thought they were used, but the seller said they were brand new...and just that cheap because she was closing down.  

Kind of sad, since that seller's been there for a pretty long time.  At the same time, amazing for me, it was a great deal!

The tank top is huge, but I really like the design at the front.  It's also pretty sheer, so I might line it with something while I'm resizing it.  

The cup was from another store in Chinatown..strangely, one that was a clothing warehouse.  I had been looking for one in that style for a long time so I was pretty ecstatic.  Happy chinese new year to me!

Embossed heart wristlets - $2.25 each @ Des Cosina

They're bigger than standard change purses and have two zippered compartments, so I bought them to use as wallets. 

The only shoddy part is, they're not properly lined inside.  Not a big deal, since I can do that myself easily.

Still, I loved how they looked (hearts + lace + bows = love), and they were cheap. 

One of them was marked at $2.25, so the store let me have all of them at that price.  The first purchase I've made at Chinatown in a long while!
