Fur bomber vest (RSP:  $29)
Pleated halter dress (RSP:  $16)

Both for $17 @ Urban Planet.

It's funny how I never gave this store a second look until recently.  Their styles are bizarrely varied, but sometimes they do have gems.

Like this dress!  I saw the same style at another store and was just dying to get it...but not for $24.  I was waiting for it to go half off but that never happened.  Luckily, this one came up for even cheaper!

It's gorgeous and it looks amazing.  Too bad they don't have it in any other decent colours.

The store was having a buy one get one for $1 sale on their winter merchandise.  I might check out the other ones this weekend.

 Cream leatherette bomber jacket:  $10 (RSP:  $30)


Fur collared brown leatherette bomber jacket:  $10 (RSP:  $39.99)

Both @ Urban Planet.

I really have way too many of these coats now, but these were so worth it!

The first one was a no brainer, mainly because I don't have any in this colour.  It's also a great design.

The second one was harder to decide since this jacket is similar...but since I like this design and colour better (it's darker) I decided to pick it up anyway.

I really hope I'm not tempted by any more coats this year!

 Black leatherette jacket w/fur trim:  $8 (RSP:  $35)


4 x shirred laces sleeve shirts:  $2.40 each (RSP:  $8)
Brown shirt:  $2.40 (RSP:  $6)

All @ Sirens.

What a steal!  I didn't bother to try on the shirts because the lines were long, but they ended up being better than expected.  I love lace and these are so flattering.

I have a ton of leatherette jackets now, but I liked the design so I picked up another one.  Plus I had a coupon.

At first I was going to pass because  the line ups were  so long, but I'm glad I decided to brave it.  The shirts were such a great deal.

 Caramel leatherette jacket:  $10 (RSP:  $99.99)


Brown leatherette jacket:  $10 (RSP:  $99.99)

Both @ Fairweather.

Gee, I don't think I've shopped here in a decade (when my mom was into this chain)!  Their clothing isn't really my style and the pricing is normally nothing to write home about.

I saw four leatherette jackets on their $10 rack.  Due to the number, I thought there was a slight chance that it wasn't a mistake so I went to ask-luckily I did!

Turns out they were leftovers from boxing day.  The cashier said that they flew off the racks in half an hour, but they managed to find some more for today.

The brown one is really similar to the other one I just bought, but I ended up buying it anyway because the fit is looser and it looks more expensive.

I just noticed that Labels must be the discounted version of this store-the brands and the signs are the same!

Black leatherette jacket:  $9.98 (RSP:  $39.99)


Rosette top:  $6.48 (RSP:  $12.95)

Both @ Stitches.

I really didn't think the rosette top was worth it, but the pearl rosette detailing won me over.

The jacket's the same as the brown one I bought today.  I liked the style and it was such a good price I decided to buy another colour.

The funny thing is, even though this one is a small and the other one is a large, they're practically the same fit!

Brown leatherette jacket:  $9.97 @ Urban Planet (RSP:  $39.99)

I really didn't think I would buy anything this boxing day, but I was in for a big surprise.  Hopefully tomorrow will be as fruitful!

$20 is the standard price for this kind of jacket so I was ecstatic when I found one for half of the norm.  This one looks way better than most at that.

Burnished grey pvc bomber jacket:  $15 @ Sirens (RSP:  $29)
Black rosette top:  $5 @ Sirens (RSP:  $19.50)
Kurhn clone doll:  $1.49 @ Value Village

I actually went here yesterday as well-I grappled with making a purchase there, but decided to check out another location in hopes they would have the right sizing.  They didn't, so I scrambled to get back here today-ironically, I ended up purchasing something completely different than what I intended!

Previously, I wanted to get a ruffled Dollhouse coat and a white/black trench coat-when I tried them on again today, I thought they looked hideous!  This was the coat:


I would have jumped on it if it was this one!  Sirens and Dollhouse must source from the same manufacturer, I don't see why it would be there otherwise.  

I'm really glad I didn't pick them up then, since after the fact I really lamented not doing so (and having to make the return trip the next day).

Same deal with the doll.  I saw it yesterday, took way too long to make a decision, then decided to leave it.  I thought it was a Kurhn doll, but since I didn't see any markings I wasn't sure.

Turns out she's a clone, but they use the exact head mold.  I'm kind of disappointed she's not the real thing, but glad I got her anyway.  Ironically, I thought she was prettier than the official ones due to her rooted eyelashes.

Black/white bustier top:  $5 (RSP:  $19)
White pearl collared top:  $5 (RSP: $ 19.50)
Black pleather jacket:  $10 (RSP:  $29.50)

All @ Sirens.

I thought the tops above were so gorgeous, I bought them even though they were too small...I normally take a small, those were an extra small.  I thought it would be fine since the material is stretchy, but they're wayyy too tight-I'm going to have to take them out a bit.

Still worth it!  The designs are so gorgeous.  Even better than the first ones I had to pass up at that location, so I no longer care about that.

I just wish I picked up the halter tops from last week..they were pretty similar to the jacket, except they were halters.  I didn't because the line up was huge and I didn't want to miss my bus.  Now I wish I purchased at least one of them...I haven't seen that style anywhere else, and they were only $5.

I don't normally like to pay that much for a top, it's pretty much my max.  If it's something I really love I'll splurge.

Moreover, I had a coupon-that was the reason I spent as much as I did.  The jacket would have been $15, which really wouldn't have been worth it.  I have the same one in brown from Winners.  They're exactly the same except for the label-this location even had ones with the same buttons, but I decided to switch it up.

B'leev - Pink dress w/flower embellishment:  $2 @ Winners (RSP:  $40+)
Calvin Klein - microfiber liner:  $1 @ Winners (RSP:  $8)
Solitaire by Ravi Khosla - Blue ruffle coat:  $12 @ Winners (RSP:  $100+)

It's finally final clearance time, yay!

It took a really long time for this one to put their signs up-the last one I went to had the signs up on time without lowering the prices, so I was worried this might be the same case.  Not so!

The coat I've been watching for months finally went down to $12, but I'm not sure if it's worth it-it's missing all buttons except one!  Even one cuff button...

I didn't really think that anyone else would buy it, but I didn't want to risk it.  I'll see if any of the other ones have it at a cheaper price, or the same price in better condition.

I was so surprised to see a top so cheap so early!  I thought it was a top, but it's so long it's more like a dress.  Either way, I was really happy to find it.

I've been looking for socks to wear with heels for a long time, so I picked this one up since it was reasonably priced.

My colour, and a good brand...I've seen some cute ones at daiso for $2 each, but I was holding out for something better.  It was a great start to this season, I can't wait to see what else I find!

Ashley by 26 International - brown pleather military jacket:  $6 @ Winners (RSP:  $55+)

I'm still on the fence about this.  If it was actually six bucks, I would have snatched it up without a second thought!

The only reason it was that low was because I used my free $10 gift card...I kind of wonder if I should have used it on something that was a better deal.  I might end up returning this in the end.

I do like how it looks, except I wish it zipped up the whole way.  I was thinking that I might make that modification myself, but then it would seem pretty pointless to pay that much for something I wanted to change.

My max for a jacket like that (mainly for show-not leather, barely provides warmth) is around $10.
