Pearl deer necklace:  $3.25 (BIN:  $9.29)
Gold 7 dwarfs double ring:  $1.04 (BIN:  $6.79)
Rhinestone zebra double ring:  $.99 (Highest:  $3)
Rhinestone panda ring:  $.99 (Highest:  $2.95)

All off eBay.

I'm really happy about that deer necklace.  The seller stopped listing them shortly after, and I definitely wouldn't have paid full price for it.  

I just wish I found out about it sooner...some people got it as low as a $1!  I love the design though, so I don't mind paying a bit more for it.

The seven dwarfs ring seemed like such a cool and novel idea, but it does look a little dumb on.  I'll probably use it as a handle for a purse.  

It's actually a knockoff of this disney couture ring:


That one retailed for $60!  I'm sure the details are finer, but I'm happy with mine.  It still looks pretty good.

Diane Von Furstenberg - Leather/giraffe print clutch:  $5 
Arcadia Bags Italy - NWT Bronze patent leather purse:  $15 (RSP:  $300)

Both @ Value Village

These were why I went to this particular location first!  I saw them two days ago, and hoped they would still be there.  They were, but I'm sure it helped that I was first in that section!  I wonder if they would still be there if I went any later.

The DVF is pretty much new without tags...the foam is still inside!  I actually have no idea what this is supposed to be.  It looks like it could be a laptop case, but there's no padding at all.  

$15 is more than I would normally pay for a purse at a thrift store, but since this one was completely new it was worth it.  It's beautiful!  Looks and smells great, plus all of the papers are inside.  I haven't decided whether I'll keep it or gift it.

Magid - Blue box clutch:  $12.59 free @ The Bay (RSP:  $30)
George - Zebra print heels:  $5 free @ Wal mart (RSP:  $20+)

Both of these were freebies, otherwise I probably wouldn't have picked up either.

The first was a gift exchange from the Bay.  That place is so expensive, I didn't think I'd find anything worthwhile!  This was the only decent thing I found.

They do have a lot of nice things there, but things are way too overpriced.  This was the only thing that wasn't insanely priced...but I have gotten similar things for as low as $2 before!

A better picture of the clutch.  It has a nice jewel closure:


I still have a $10 balance left.  Things were 30% off the last ticketed price this time.  I'll go again (to a different one) when things are clearanced a bit more.

I used my Tellwut card to get the shoes.  I was saving them for dolls, but they haven't been on sale for a long time (and I don't foresee any anytime soon), so I decided to splurge.

These shoes really aren't that great.  The print is just kind of screened on there, it looks kind of cheap.  Like a white shoe with that pattern sharpied on!

But since the heels are so thick and not so high, it's surprisingly comfortable.  Considering all of the circumstances, I thought, why not.

Snakeskin cropped bustier (RSP:  $19)
Dark brown snakeskin cropped bustier (RSP:  $19)
Zebra print peplum top (RSP:  $19)
White ruched bustier top (RSP:  $16)
Sparkly coral bustier top (RSP:  $16)

$4 each @ Sirens

I love their $5 off coupon!  That's one of the reasons I'm hesitant to buy this brand used...I can get it new for the same price a lot of the time.

I really wasn't expecting much.  This location rarely has good sales, so I was surprised to find so many tops I wanted for reasonable prices.

I only wanted 3 of the tops, but I decided to add two more in since it'd be only $5 more.  The top two are my favourites.

*edit*

It turns out the zebra top was only $2.50 at another Sirens!  I  was pretty annoyed about that.

Well, they didn't have my size, plus everything else I bought in this post was twice the price, so that made me feel way better :P.

Zebra collar necklace:  $1.99 on eBay (Highest:  $8.54)

Plus some random samples and a heart and stroke lottery calendar.  I don't even remember requesting these samples, but it's nice that they're a good size.

Rennes - Grey/blue knit/chiffon asymmetrical tank top:  $1 (RSP:  14.99-$30+)

All @ Winners.

Not much to say about these - they're all going back!  They looked good at the time.

I really wanted to like the plaid top - in print it sounds amazing, but it just doesn't look great on.

I do love those sandals, but they're not comfortable.  I already have so many, I have no need for ones I won't wear.

The belt has that great Anne Klein lion logo and it connects in a really neat way....but it's better to look at than to actually wear.  Maybe if it was a lot wider.

All @ Winners.

Well, this location was almost a bust.  Everything was still pricey, thank goodness I stumbled upon this section!  It wasn't even properly placed in the final clearance area, which is probably why I lucked out.

I would have left the black panties behind if it wasn't for their original price!  They seemed pretty basic, the quality and design didn't seem to warrant the price.

Turns out the company has been in business for 125 years....impressive.

They're made out of 100% cotton, but it's so smooth it doesn't feel like it!  Definitely a great find.  It goes for $36 new!

Funnily enough, just about all of the Winners tags show a much lower "compared to" price.  The blush panties were $18 off the mark!

Zebra print dress:  $3.06
Chiffon tunic dress:  $2.03
Black/red lingerie set:  $1.93
Gloves:  $2.25
Animal t-shirt:  $1

All off Ebay.

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.
