Big order from Joe Fresh! Too lazy to write everything out, but the screen shots are good enough to help me remember what I paid. Can't say no to a dress under $5!
All of them were $4.45, and they retailed from $24-$29 each.

Most of them are off the website, which is why some of the pictures are tiny. I'm way too lazy to get them out and photograph them. I also got some black snake print pants, but I can't find a picture of those at all.
I ended up buying the first pair of slip ons in gold and white as well, but I gave half of them away. They were just way too small. I'm glad I sized up just in case for one of the pairs.

Beige crochet bodycon dress (RSP: $20)
Navy crochet bodycon dress (RSP: $20)
Peach ruffle maxi dress (RSP: $15)
Burgundy crochet bodycon dress (RSP: $20)
$5 each @ Urban Behavior
These were $10 each the last time I checked! Now I'm wondering if everything would have scanned in the right price anyway. These are kind of basic, but they were definitely worth $5 each to me.
They also had a black crochet dress, but that one seemed kind of ordinary to me. I have a ton of black dresses, and I don't think they're that flattering on me!

This one had even less than the first one, so I'm glad I managed to find anything at all. I actually saw the first dress for $5 at another Winners, but it was too small. On a model:
They have it in a few other colours too, but I didn't see them there.

It's that time again! Too bad the schedules seem to change from year to year. There was basically nothing left at some of the ones I went to, but I'm just glad I didn't miss it entirely like last time.
I'm really happy about that bandage dress. I've always wanted to find a Herve leger dress secondhand, but this will do for now. The one I bought is very similar to this one:
I've seen that dress for $80+! It's actually quite nice quality, so I wonder how much better the $1000 ones are.

Girls Crochet Tulip Front Elastic Waist Short in cream and black: $5 each @ Bluenotes (RSP: $20)
The website actually shows that as their regular price! Normally they show the original price if the item has been discounted, so who knows. But in stores, they were marked at $20, on sale for $10!
Luckily they ended up being the same price as the website. I thought they were so pretty, I don't have any shorts in this style. The exact same ones are $31 at Charlotte Russe!

I love those crochet tops! Turns out they sold the same style on Forever 21 for over $20.

I'm shocked both of the necklaces were so low! I've never seen them go so cheaply before, so I'm happy I was the one to get them! I've wanted both for a very long time.
Same with the top. It's so gorgeous! I have a few in other colours coming in the mail. I've been trying to win them for a long time, but they kept on going over my price range (which was $5).
I finally decided to go a bit higher, and I won a bunch in no time. Maybe I should have waited, since I have seen them go as low as $3.75 before!
Anyway, they look the same, but they're lower quality in person. I was expecting it to be a heavier crochet type material, but it's just like a normal lace. Oh well, at least it looks as nice as I thought!
I wish I paid less for the gold shoes (they've gone way lower since). I was excited because I thought they were Ever After High cupid's shoes:
But they're way too small to fit them!!! Even though the design is exactly the same. They can only fit the tiniest Barbie feet, so they have a very limited use for me. Most of my dolls have huge feet! I guess I have to stick to the ones actually labeled Ever After High / Monster High to get the right size.

The crochet top came ripped, so the seller said they'd send me another one. We'll see.

I actually got this throughout the month. A lot of them were buy it now's, because I had a $5 off coupon from ebay.
I'm really happy about the dress from the last row! The crochet detailing is gorgeous, and I received it in less than a week. The seller sent it by EMS for some reason, but I'm not complaining.
I also love those last two necklaces. I'm really happy I won them, because they were only listed once! Both of them are much better than I expected, especially the very last one. It's so heavy and high quality!

Black skater dress: $3 (RSP: $12)
Paris print top: $3 (RSP: $12 - $38)
All off Walmart.ca
I'm happy I managed to catch these, since they weren't specifically posted anywhere. The maxi dress was plus sized, but it was such a great deal, I took a chance!
I thought I might have to take it in a little, but it actually fits as is! It's even more gorgeous than I expected. I wish I could have gotten it in black too, but that one was $7..and sold out long before I found out about it.
Walmart.ca is so great. Everything ships free, so things end up staying a great price. This time it only took 5 days to arrive!

FM Canada - leather jacket: $5
Jet jacket - Thick leather racing jacket: $12.50
ML Collection Paris - Peach crochet detail skirt suit: $9.99
All @ Value Village
The coats were half off because they have a winter sale this week, but the suit was full price. It was so pretty though, and the price was reasonable enough...I decided to get it anyway.
I was so surprised about the $5 leather jacket! I've never seen them this low there. This one's actually in pretty great condition, it barely has any signs of wear!
The leather is soft and supple, plus it's a colour I don't already have. It was a no-brainer! It just has two small pen marks that I'm hopeful will come out. Even if they don't, they're really not very noticeable.
The other jacket is such great quality! It's the heaviest leather I own, plus it looks completely unworn. I don't really like the patch, maybe I'll take it off.

Gilmour - Brown dress (RP: $8.99)
Genetamant - Ruched crochet neckline blouse (RP: $6.99)
Simply Irresistible - NWT Grey top w/beaded detailing (RP: $6.99 - $14.99 - $30)
$2 each @ Salvation Army.
This one was pretty disappointing, but I'm still glad I went. The stuff above was decent. Nothing exciting, but things I could wear everyday.
I almost didn't buy the beaded one...it didn't look very exciting on the rack, but it's gorgeous on! It comes to a V shape at the front and back. I don't have any tops like that! It still has the winners tags on it.
This store just opened up recently, and I think they were still selling items from before the move -- all of the tags are from September!

Jones New York - Light fuchsia silk dress (RP: $14.99)(22 days)
Purple silk skirt (RP: $5.99)(14 days)
MSilhouette - Blazer w/floral trims (RP: $9.99)(11 days)
P.C.F. Petites styled by Hal Ferman - Light blue button up dress (RP: $6.99)(17 days)
D'Allairds - Houndstooth dress (RP: $6.99)(31 days!)
Cynthia Howie for Maggy Boutique - Pink button up dress w/crochet collar (RP: $8.99)(10 days)
They were having a $2 sale, so I felt like going. This is the first time they've included dresses, which is what I like buying the most. Sadly, I was half an hour late...I wonder what I missed out on. One lady had a whole cart full of dresses!
The first one I picked up was the Jones new york dress. I wasn't sure about it, but it looked so good on! The colour kind of turned me off at first, but I think it works.
I wasn't sure about the blazer either, but the floral trim won me over. It's even on the pockets! I haven't seen that style before.
The skirt was a definite want. The hemline is gorgeous! It comes to a point at the middle and flows in such a wonderful way. The tag was cut out, so I don't know who made it. I looked up the numbers, and it was either made by nine west or jones new york.
All of the ones in the second picture are vintage, the houndstooth one is my favourite! I thought the first one was modern because I still see the same style around, but the tag is definitely vintage.
I just wish I went to more! I'm going to another one tomorrow, but that's the only one that still has the sale going on because it's a grand opening sale. Finally! I haven't had one in my own city for over a year.

Jessica McClintock - White lace/crochet wedding (?) dress: $7.50 (RSP: $400+)
Leslie Belle - Vintage blue chiffon dress: $3
Armani Exchange - Wide belt with punched flower patterns: $2.50 (RSP: $50+)
L.A express - White gold buckle belt: $2
All @ Value Village
I think the white one might be a wedding dress...but it looks like it doesn't have to be! I really like the design, and for the price, I was sold.
Same with the other one. It was so cheap I had to get it! It does look good on, but I'm going to have to take those sleeves off to make it wearable.
The belts were impulse buys. I don't normally like buying mall brands, but that white one looked so flattering on! Too bad it has signs of wear...but it just looked that nice on.
I don't normally care about armani exchange, but I love wide belts! This one looks completely unused, and it does have a lot of nice details.
I don't know if I'll ever fit into it, but I decided to take a chance for that price. This is the first time I've ever seen one of their belts secondhand!
I really wish I went to at least one more, but I was really tired. I am kind of sick right now, and I probably shouldn't have gone in the first place!
But of course I'm glad I did. I found so much great stuff today! I can't wait until the next half off day...I'll probably feel well enough to go to a bunch more than this time!

What a total surprise! I found so much great stuff at this one. I love the first two dresses especially.
I'm also really fond of those shorts. I'm not really fond of coloured denim, but I think it works...especially with those lace accents! What a beautiful added detail.
