Basic scoop neck tee - $1.90 @ Ardene (RSP:  $3.80)

Regular price is already pretty decent, but half price was even better!

I got the largest size, and it was still pretty tight.

Tee with ruffles in grey:  $2 (RSP:  $10)

Tee with ruffles in green:  $2 (RSP:  $10)

Over the knee boots:  $10 (RSP:  $49.99)

All @ Bluenotes

I usually don't bother to go to the mall on boxing day, but bluenotes had some 80% off deals I was hoping to catch.   

I mostly just wanted the over the knee boots, so I was glad they had one in my size! Upon first glance I missed it so I'm glad I tried again.  I was ready to buy it online, but I thought I'd try to see if I could save myself the shipping.

They had the shirts in a light pink and oatmeal colour, but those turned out to be pretty see through!  Thank goodness I tried them on first.  These ones were thicker so they were ok.  

For some reason, the price tag actually says $14.99 underneath!  I wonder if that was the original price.  It says $10 on the website.

The rest of the mall was a bust, but it was worth it for the boots!  I was hoping for some 80% off dresses at sirens, but none of them were that cheap.

I still want to check out other malls before the week is over, so here's hoping for cheap dresses!

GUILTY tie front dress: $4.89 (RSP:  $39.90)

KISMET corso tee in maroon:  $3.49 (RSP:  $35)

All @ Bootlegger

The dresses are terrible, so they're going back.  I'm not too crazy about the parkside tee, so they might go back too.  The only winners in my book are the corso tees.

Laurie shirts:  $1.88 @ Bootlegger (RSP:  $24.90 each)

I bought these at the end of December, but I forgot to blog about.  They're decent basic shirts.  Glad  I got them for a great price!

Striped tees/tank:  $2 each (RSP:  $9.99 each) @ Bluenotes

Pretty disappointing!  The sales were the same as any other day...these were the only decent deals around.

Not as good as the things I got at Sirens, but $2 is alright for basics like these.

Kismet - Kora graphic tee:  $2.49 (RSP:  $34.90)
Kismet - Dark brown long lace core tank:  $3.49 (RSP: $16.90)
Kismet - London fog long lace core tank:  $3.49 (RSP: $16.90)

All @ Bootlegger

The tanks were a bit more than last time, but they're worth it!  I love how long they are, and they're pretty flattering too.  I'd like to get them in more colours!

More stuff from Chapman's...a beach ball, t-shirt, note pad, and strobe light.

Ramones t-shirt:  $2 @ Claire's (RSP:  $22.75)

I'm always embarrassed to shop here, but I do because I know there are still some adult appropriate items in there.  

Like this shirt!  This wouldn't be out of place anywhere else.  I like some of their songs, plus I liked the graphic, so I was alright with buying it.  

This shirt is actually longer in the back than in the front!  None of my other shirts are like that.  It's a good idea...it covers your butt.

Ironically, this shirt is way oversized!  Claire's sizing is usually smaller than normal, but I could fit into their small/medium.  I hope it doesn't shrink!

 

Baby rib cap sleeve raglan tee:  $2 each (RSP: $23 each)

Cotton spandex jersey pencil dress (navy, nude, creme, aqua, brown):  $5 each (RSP:  $45 each)

All @ American Apparel.

I don't normally buy from here, but that's because they're usually way overpriced!  It's because everything is sweatshop free, which is good, but I only buy from places that give me good deals.

Well, the time has finally come!  These were all about 90% off, which finally made the prices appealing to me.  I wouldn't normally buy so many, except you needed to spend $60 to get free shipping...and deals really aren't deals if you have to pay shipping!  

I wouldn't normally have bothered, except when I noticed that the dress styles kept changing...at first I thought they were all different, but then I realized this was a convertible dress!  This many styles and more:

So of course, for $5, I wanted them bad!  I don't have any dresses like this, and their versatility makes them worthwhile.  I wanted one in every colour!  I doubt I'll ever see them for this low again.

Sadly, I didn't get the one I really wanted, light pink.  I had it in my cart and everything, but there was a dumb glitch...a colour I had originally added (army) was sold out.  I removed it, but I think they were removing it at the same time...and I accidentally took out the pink instead!  

Since they were in the process of removing a bunch of colours while I was ordering, I rushed to get my order in and didn't notice.  

I also accidentally ordered two of the same coloured raglans (the very first one), which was annoying too.  I would have preferred to get a different colour!  There were still 3 other colour combinations in my size that I could have gotten.

I read that you could change your order if it hasn't been shipped, so I called the next day...and they said they couldn't do it once your status changed to processed!  How dumb.  That happened within the hour, and they don't take calls on Sunday!

The whole thing was a gamble anyway, since I wasn't sure how everything would fit.  I was thinking that it might be too tight, or that the material might be too thin.

Surprisingly, everything worked out!  The tees ended up being a little loose, but still cut close to my body and very flattering.  I kind of wish I got the last few colours, but I really only bought them to get free shipping.

The dresses are even better than expected!  I was worried that they would be cheap and thin, but they're actually thick and great quality.  The styles are so sexy too!  I love the cross halter and pencil skirt styles.  

I considered getting the light pink afterwards, but I couldn't bring myself to pay $8 for shipping...then my previous savings would have been null!  Just couldn't do it, even though they brought back another colour I missed out on.

I'm waiting for 3 more dresses (raspberry, coral, and black) and one more raglan tee that ended up on backorder. 

Overall, I'm really happy.  Especially because everything is back to full price again!  I wonder why they discounted everything so low in the first place if they weren't trying to clear them out permanently.

G21 Stretch lace tee:  $3 @ Walmart.ca (RSP:  $12)

I saw this for a while, but I wasn't that keen on buying clothing due to the last time.  The clothes weren't very figure flattering, so they didn't seem worth buying.  

When someone posted this deal again, I decided to give it a shot.  Well, it was better than expected!  It's got a nice bodycon fit and it's actually very sexy on.  I did size down though (because they didn't have my usual size), while last time, I bought my actual size.

I just wish they had yellow in stock! 

Retro X-Men t-shirt:  $10 @ Walmart

Christmas gift for my brother.  He never buys clothes, so I always try to get him some.  I like buying shirts at walmart, because their regular price is so reasonable!  

The exact same prints (or just similar ones) are around $20 elsewhere!  $10 on sale.  It's like they're always on sale here!

I used my tellwut giftcard, so it didn't cost me anything.  Yay!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles t shirt:  $5 @ Walmart.ca (RSP:  $10+)

I love the turtles, plus I do need more shirts to lounge around the house in.  It's a guy's shirt, but I can't find any of the women's ones for a cheap price.

I think I got the last one too, so that was lucky.  Their retail price is pretty reasonable in the first place...a  lot of stores charge $20+ for the same thing!  Plus, most of those stores would have charged $5 or more for shipping alone!

All @ Bluenotes

Bluenotes is really surprising me these days!  I never thought they'd be so cheap.  This was even cheaper than last weekend!  

I'm also surprised that they restocked everything.  I mean, they had completely different stock.  They had so many shoes out!  I thought they were all sold out, last time they only had 3 pairs out...none this style.

I really only went out to check out toys at Target - I wasn't going to go here!  For some reason I did, and I'm sure glad I did.

It was totally packed, and for good reason!  All of the tees at the bottom were for my brother.  I really wish I sized up for my tees, but I thought they looked big enough.

I was most interested in that comic book tee.  Turns out it's a real comic book from the 50's!  In the public domain, which is probably why it ended up there.  One of his catchphrases is "By space this will not stand!," which totally cracks me up.

It was so crazy, everything I put back was gone right after I hung it onto the rack!  

I kind of want to go back on the weekend.  I wonder if they'll have more stuff out?  

I'm kind of stocked up on flat boots (yay!), but I'd totally be open to more.  Especially black over the knee boots in that style!

They're so flattering, and shockingly, they fit me!  The other ones are also really comfortable because they're wide.

There was actually another combat boot I was eyeing.  It was a way better brand and had a heavier sole that was a sandy colour.  The upper was black too.  

It was heavier and better quality in general, but it just looked kind of ugly.  It was really huge and unsightly!  This one was more streamlined, so that clinched it. 

Someone actually almost took those shiny black ones before me, but thankfully they decided to put it back.  I saw it first, but I didn't feel like carrying it around.  I was going to double back for it, but I'll never do that again!

All @ Urban Planet

I don't normally bother to shop at this store.  Things are usually ovepriced and the styles aren't very sophisticated.

I was in the area though, so I decided to check it out.  I got all of these from a $3 rack, but stupidly, none of them rang up that price!  At least one ended up being cheaper.

The regular price for those tees was surprisingly reasonable as is.  I've seen ones with the same graphics go for $25 online!

I liked the graphics, and I could always use cheap shirts.  Plus, I do like those musicians, so I wouldn't feel silly wearing them.

I was excited about the maxi skirt, I thought that was a great deal.  It's only lace at the front, it's chiffon at the back.  It even zips up!  Most of them don't have zippers, so this one's a little bit better in quality than others.

Adventure time t-shirt:  $10 free @ Walmart

I used the giftcard I got from Tellwut to make it free.  Yay!  This was a present for my brother anyway.  

It was regular price...which I normally don't like paying, but I knew that it was way higher everywhere else.  I've seen the exact same shirt sell for $20+ (PLUS shipping) online!

The tunic was a steal!  It was actually way better quality than I thought it would be.

Conversely, the zebra dress was way worse than I thought.  I kind of wish I didn't buy it. 

I thought I was passed the cute stage, but I just had to have that t-shirt.  I'm surprised it's not engrishy, and I got it for such a great price.

The seller sent me the wrong gloves so they refunded me-the gloves were supposed to be ruched as shown, but they just sent me plain ones.
