Unfortunately, I had to work on this day, so I was really rushed in the end.  Since I was starting around mid day, I couldn't go to all of the ones that I originally wanted to.

This was the last one on my list.  It was pretty far away, and I had never been there before...since I was so strapped for time, I almost considered not going.

Well, I'm really glad I reconsidered!  This was the best one yet-shoe heaven!  I got a lot of crazy stares when I was filling my cart, but it was so worth it.

The grey dress is my favourite piece of clothing from this entire clearance haul-it's gorgeous!  Most of them were $5, but this one was the only one clearanced lower for some reason. 

It's actually already my size too, so that's a plus.

I was exhausted at work after this entire run, but at least I was extremely happy :). 

Dollhouse - Molly sandals:  $5 @ Winners (RSP:  $60)
Michael Antonio - Taji - gladiator heels:  $3 @ Winners (RSP:  $60)
Dollhouse - Lidyana sandals:  $3 @ Winners (RSP:  $40) 

I was realllly happy by this point of the day.  Little did I know that this would be the start of a rather fearsome shoe windfall. 

Luichiny - Passa Fy Bootie:  $9 @ Winners (RSP:  $100)
Dollhouse - Lidyana sandals:  $3 @ Winners (RSP:  $40)

I wasn't sure about the boots, but now I'm glad I bought them.

They were size 10's...they fit fine, but I thought a smaller size might be even better.  I didn't end up seeing them anywhere else, so I'm glad I picked them up when I had the chance. 

Their logo is so stupidly illegible, I had to get help on the internet to decipher it!

As for the sandals...I didn't have any before, I've always found them ugly.  Leave it to Dollhouse to produce some that I actually like.

I'm not sure how often I'll be wearing them, but it's nice to have the option.

Dollhouse - Tano - red floral lace platforms:  $10 $5 @ Winners (RSP:  $60)
Cameo necklace set:  $1 @ EFADS
Rose/pearl/crystal earrings:  $1.12 
Black coral rose bead:  $.25
Coral coral flower bead:  $.26
Red lace up belt:  $1.96

These are the sexiest shoes I've ever seen!  So vampy and gorgeous.

When I saw them, it was instant love...the strongest, most enduring love I've ever had for a shoe, as wrong as that sounds.

They were even my size.  One pair there, and my exact size-I just had to have them!

Even had my name on them...seriously!  What more of a sign could you ask for?  They're labeled "Jeni", even though I can only find them under "Tano" on the web.

I was pretty conflicted though.  I knew that if they were still there the next day, they would have been half price....

In the end, I just couldn't risk it.  I hadn't seen them at any of the other Winners, and I would be really sad if I missed the chance to get them.  Ended up finding them for $5 at another one.  Hooray!

Turns out they're nearly identical Louboutin copies. 

Don't know how I feel about that...I'm fine with 'inspiration', but not the complete ripping off of an entire idea.  Well, at least the originals probably didn't come in red..

Pretty happy about the cameo set I got today.  I actually bought a similar one over a year ago and I really regretted not getting more (I just bought one pink one).

The cameo is actually the same as the other one I bought, except in a different colour.  

This time the actual cameo was the same, but the rhinestone settings came in red, white, and orange.  Probably blue and pink as well, judging from what I saw there. 

I actually don't really like orange, but I bought it because the cameo itself was the nicest.  The shading was the most uniform, the carving the crispest, and it just had the best sheen/color variation to it. 

This one has a really beautiful shell like finish to it, opposed to the first one I bought that was just uniformly one matte color.  I'm really hoping I can find some in decent condition at the other ones. 

All in all a really great day.

Apple Bottoms - Julisha - purple suede open toe ankle boots:  $9 @ Winners (RSP:  $80)
Revolution by Edwin - orange snakeskin wallet:  $5 @ Winners (RSP:  $48) - returned -
XOXO - white belt:  $2 @ Winners (RSP:  $20)
Chinese Laundry:  black studded belt:  $2 @ Winners (RSP:  $30)

I love final clearance time-too bad it only comes twice a year!  

Maybe that's for the best, since I tend to go just a little crazy whenever they're on.

I also saw these Dollhouse shoes for $5-it took me so long to make a decision!

I ended up passing because they were too big for me..size 10's.  That's my preferred boot size, but it just doesn't work for shoes like these.

The real clincher was this-they were the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn!  I seriously couldn't walk two steps in them without feeling the pain.  I've tried 6 inchers before, but the real problem was the crazy incline.

I guess what's crazy is, I still would have bought them if they were my size!  A 9 max.  I would probably even buy the pair I passed up if they were clearanced again!

I would probably never wear them even if they were my size, but I would enjoy looking at them!  They don't need to be my size for that :P.

Dollhouse - Penelope - brown (presumably fake) suede boots:  $5 @ Winners (RSP:  $85)

I found these at the first Winners I went to.  I would have preferred a bigger size, but these ones are my actual size (8.5).  For the comfort factor, I always try to go a few sizes bigger when it comes to boots. 

These are comfortable enough, and for that price, I couldn't resist.  Plus, it is a brand I love.  

A funny thing to note-both of the Dollhouse shoes I bought today have a fur leopard print lining.  What are the chances!

I almost ended up getting a mismatched pair, so thank goodness I checked the other sizes on the table.  

I noticed that there was one 8 and 8.5 boot each left, so I knew one of mine had to be an 8.  I didn't notice before because that one didn't have the size shown.
 


For as long as I've been shopping at Winners (about a decade now), I've always had a fondness for Dollhouse.  

Back then I just bought some tacky shirts from them...I'm still not very fond of their shirts, but I do love their shoes and bags!  

I mainly bought girly tees whenever I went there-I kind of wish I expanded my horizons back then!  

It was primarily because I was overweight and uninterested in fashion.  I wish I picked up at least a few purses and wallets back then, but at least I'm expanding my closet now.

 

I'm a bit undecided on these shoes.  I think they're interesting, and I don't have any shoes that are remotely like these ones..but they really remind me of elf shoes.  I thought they might grow on me, but I might end up returning them in the end :x.

I bought these ones and the Harajuku Lovers sandals at the second Winners I went to today.  To my shock, practically all of the clothes were already sold out!  There was literally only a tiny rack with around ten items left.  

Thankfully I didn't leave empty handed.  I'm really surprised they had these gems left behind with all of the crap.
