Crochet tulip shorts:  $5 each @ Bluenotes (RSP:  $20 each)

I went to another location and noticed they had these colours.  The design is so pretty, I had to have it in every shade!

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!

All @ Walmart.ca

Their website is so much better than their freestanding stores!  When I returned some of my  last order, they scanned in at full price!

They don't order free shipping anymore, but at least you can ship free to a post office.  I actually didn't buy all of this stuff in one order...I wish I had, since I bought enough to get free shipping to my house!

I totally went overboard with the pyjamas, but they were such a good deal.  It's normally $3 just for the pants!  I didn't know if they'd ever be this cheap again, so I basically bought one of everything...I did leave two behind, so at least there's that.

The robes ended up being as thin as the $3 ones I got from Dollarama!  I knew those were a good deal.  These ones have hoods though, so they're better.

They had some $5 robes that were around $20 regular price, so I kind of wish I bought one of those too.  I couldn't tell how thick they were from the pictures, and I wasn't sure if they were going to be worth it.

The maxi skirt was a total surprise!  They only had an XS in stock, but it looked nice so I thought I'd see how it was in person.  Well, it actually fits!  The material is very stretchy, and it's surprisingly comfortable on.  It's even long enough to wear as a dress!

Embroidered rose button up chiffon dress:  $10 (RSP:  $28)

All @ Urban Behavior

This is why I love this store!  It's the best place to get cheap clothing year round.  I just wish it was closer to get to.

I actually came back for the red lace top.  I saw it yesterday and wanted to get it, but I didn't have time.  I wish I bought the blue one as well, but I'm glad I managed to get those ones.  

The red is a dark burgundy, totally gorgeous!  I was initially just going to get that one, but I'm just such a sucker for white lace, especially at that price.

The shorts were a great buy.  I thought they were so neat, I've never seen them around!  For the price, I thought they were worth adding to my closet.

I didn't really want to pay $10 for the rose dress since I already have similar dresses in that style, but the print swayed me.  I just love the colour, the size..everything about it!  Since I was getting a deal on everything else, I decided to just splurge.

The floor length dresses are my favourites from this round.  I actually dismissed them yesterday, thinking they'd look cheap and ugly on...but I was wrong!  They're actually really gorgeous, and don't look cheap at all.

It turns out the cashier actually forgot to scan one of them in, so I ended up with a really great deal on everything.

I've never seen them at any of the other stores, so I'm happy I got them here.  I wouldn't have them otherwise!

BCBG Maxazria - Jasmine denim shorts:  $3 @ Winners (RSP:  $49.99 - $108)

Well, turns out that wasn't the end!  I was in the area, so I just had to go in...I'm glad I did!  There were literally 10 items left, but this was still there.

I love the brand, so I always snatch up whatever I find for cheap from it.  They had a ton of these this round, so I thought I could probably find one later on.

All @ Winners

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.

I'm surprised I managed to find anything at all today!  These were the least exciting, and some of them might end up going back.  The first two were for my mom.

Costume national - Scent Gloss eau de parfum:  $12 (RSP:  $39.99 - $75)


Kenneth Cole Reaction - White lace/lime green shorts:  $3 (RSP:  $19.99 - $59)
BDG - Red jeans with belt:  $2 (RSP:  $19.99 - $50)

All @ Winners

I was really surprised this had anything left.  It is a pretty high traffic area afterall!  I only stopped in because I was in the area.

I wasn't sure about the dress - I don't really like the colours, but I do like the design.  It is actually pretty fitted.  I'm sure I'll keep it, the price was a steal!

The perfume was an afterthought.  I've never heard of it, but since it retailed for pretty high at winners, I thought it would be better than normal.  It is made in France too.  I'll see if I can smell it somewhere before I open it, but that's pretty doubtful...this is the first time I've seen this brand anywhere!

The jeans were a great deal.  I'm not normally keen on interesting coloured pants, but I thought I might want to wear it sometime.  It even came with a belt, which was nice.

The shorts are a pretty neat colour.  A lime green, which I normally wouldn't like..but it looks fine with the white lace over top.  It's a pretty interesting combination.

Valia - Shirred military shorts:  $4 each (RSP:  $17 each)
Seduction - Gold studded black strapless dress:  $6 (RSP:  $25)

All @ Sirens

I'm so glad I printed out that coupon.  I really didn't think I'd use it, but here we are!

The shorts are the same as the one I got from Urban Behavior a long time ago, and I paid almost twice the price for those ones! 

The studded dress scanned in at $10, but I got it for $7 since I found one that was still marked that price.  Score!

Shockingly, none of these were made in China!  The shorts were made in Canada, while the dress was made in the US.  I'm surprised they were able to sell them so cheap.

Plaid shorts:  $2 @ Dollarama

These shorts are so odd.  They were marked a men's XL...even though they look feminine and tiny.  I tried them on in the store and they seemed to fit perfectly!

They're pretty poorly made though.  Not that I think they'll fall apart, but the seams aren't straight and the legs don't match up perfectly either.

But...they looked  cute enough so I picked them up.

Well they are cute, but the legs aren't even!  One is tighter than the other.

I'm going to have to lose weight, or take that side out a little...

Fur collar (RSP:  $14.99)
Chiffon/lace shorts (RSP:  $4.99)
Quilted clutch w/silver rose (RSP:  $2.99)

$1 each @ Kim's Village!

I'm so happy I was in the area today!  I found a lot of great stuff here.

I have no idea what kind of fur the stole is, it feels so luxurious!  The shorts are pretty and don't look worn...I just love the chiffon pleats at the bottom.

The clutch was kind of an afterthought.  It hasn't even been used - there's still tissue inside!  It's made out of a quilted faux suede and has a silver fabric flower on top....for the price, why not.

*edit*

Someone told me that the fur was probably chinchilla...score!  Those kind of fur collars are over $300 new!  It is definitely the best fur I've ever felt, so I'm inclined to believe it.

Too bad I kind of ruined it by washing it...it's not ruined per se, but the backing is a bit hard now.

Shirred shorts:  $7.50 (RSP:  $20)
Bodysuit w/ sheer accents:  $1.50 (RSP:  $8)


I haven't been to this location in so long!  It didn't disappoint.  I initially thought the bodysuit was $2.50 so that was a happy surprise.

I didn't want to pay that much for the shorts, but I loved the design so I splurged.  I haven't seen something like this anywhere else and I won't be coming back here for a while.  Still, I would have been more comfortable paying $5.


The above are gifts from a friend.

Clientele - Rosette top:  $2 (RSP:  $24.99-$45)
Pretty good - Ruffle front top:  $2 (RSP:  $14.99-$30)


Almost Famous - Brown tank top:  $.70 (RSP:  $14.99-$28)
Dollhouse - Jean shorts:  $2 (RSP:  $14.99-$30)

I love those shorts, but I wasn't sure if I could fit into them since they're a girl's size 16.  I really liked how they looked, so I was willing to risk it for the price.

Turns out they do fit, but very unflatteringly...I'm not wearing those out in public until I'm several pounds lighter!  Definitely a must keep though.

The other things are just for normal every day use...I don't particularly love any of them.  I'm really going to have to do a deep closet purge to make way for all of this!  It's nice to have a new wardrobe every year.

















Rosette tank top:  $1 (RSP:  $19.99-$30)














Almost Famous - Striped one shoulder top:  $2 (RSP:  $14.99-$30)
Ali & Kris - Black top:   $2 (RSP:  $16.99-$34)














Jonathan Martin - Green halter:  $2 (RSP:  $19.99 - $38)
Carol Rose - Purple rosette tank:  $1 (RSP:  $16.99-$30)














American Heritage - Plaid shorts:  $2 (RSP:  $12.99-$37)
Impo stretch - Peep toe shoes:  $2 (RSP:  $39.99-$65+)

I'm so glad this round wasn't a letdown!  I hadn't found anything worthwhile thus far, so I was incredibly happen when I stumbled onto this location.

The first top is my favourite-it's gorgeous!  I can't believe I debated buying it.  Of course, when I picked it up it was $3...it didn't end up scanning for some reason, and the cashier made it a new (cheaper!) price tag.  Yay!  The same thing happened for the purple rosette tank and some of the other items.

I don't normally like green, but I thought it was an interesting style.  My distaste for the colour almost prevailed, but I'm so glad I didn't-it looks so good on!  I was pleasantly surprised.

The plaid shorts are actually the largest boys size they make-it fits fine, but I'll probably make the legs more fitted.  Either that, or give them to my brother.

I just couldn't pass up $2 shoes in my size...but I'll be returning them in the end.  They're not exceedingly comfortable, and I already have similar shoes that are infinitely better than they are.
