Black bustier top:  $1.99 @ Urban Behavior (RSP:  $36.80)
Black shirred skirt:  $2 @ Sirens (RSP:  $19)

I went to two sidewalk sales today-each produced one of the above!  I'm ecstatic I managed to find things I loved for amazing prices.  

I ended up buying the skirt in a much larger size than I usually take, because it was longer and draped more.  I'll have to take in the waistband, it fits pretty awkwardly on me.  

Still, I thought the design was quite pretty, and the waistband makes it easy to wear.

2 x Festive underwear:  $.05 each (RSP:  $1.88+ each)
Nascar titanium coated sunglasses:  $1 (RSP:  $9.99-$16.99)
Baby sock set:  $.07 (RSP:  $1+)
2 x Baby knit hat/glove set:  $.10 each (RSP:  $5.76 each)

This one was pretty out of the way: if I knew pickings were this slim, I probably wouldn't have gone.

The sunglasses were for my brother (amazing deal, they're even shatter resistant!), the underwear was for my mom, and the baby stuff was to give away.

Either that, or for my own future stash.  It seems kind of crazy, but how likely is it that I'll find baby stuff that cheap when I actually need it?

Blue/white striped bikini:  $1.66
Black/blue trimmed lingerie set:  $2.14
Swiffer dusters starter kit:  free (RSP:  $5.49)
Chapman's pens:  free
Yellow strawberry bikini:  $1.66
Black/white polka dot bikini:  $1.59

All of the clothing was off Ebay.  I bought them a long time ago-there was a huge delay due to the recent postal strike.  I'm just glad they arrived at all.

The swiffer kit was a brandvoice sample, while the pens were prizes from Chapman's Kids Club.

I really respect Chapman's for making this program available to their fans, especially with the stipulation that it's for kids 'of all ages'-that's why I have their ice cream in my fridge :P.

Metal flower necklace:  $2 (RSP:  $14.25)
Pegasus ring:  $2 (RSP:  $16.50)
Butterfly/flower pearl bracelet:  $2 (RSP:  $14.25)
Cameo pearl bracelet:  $2 (RSP:  $14.25)
Lace covered pearl bracelet:  $2 (RSP:  $12)
Gold tree earring holder:  $5 (RSP:  $22.75)

All @ Icing.

This is basically my favourite accessory store:  the styles are more mature, and it's easier to find 5 things opposed to 10 things to get that elusive deal.

I was pretty undecided about the earring holder, as I practically never wear earrings...but I do have a few pairs, so I might as well have something pretty to display them on.  I just love the little birds perched on the branch like that.

I love the pegasus cameo, but the proportions aren't pleasing for a ring.  I might convert it to a bracelet.

Spoon jeans - slate blue skinny jeans:  $3 (RSP:  $8-$42)
SHM - Caslow riding boots:  $9 (RSP:  $25-$32.99)

All @ Liquidation World.

I probably should have gone as soon as the sale hit, but prior engagements prevented me from doing so.  As a result, things were pretty picked over.

I was pretty undecided about the boots.  I like the style immensely, but the quality just wasn't there.  I would have gladly paid $5 for it, but $9 was really pushing it...$10 is my max for any non leather footwear.

The leopard print lining is what swayed me, that, and the fact that it's comfortable enough to wear for extended periods of time.  I'm going to be kicking myself if they go even lower later on..

I'm pretty set for jeans, but since I don't have any in this wash, it ended up coming home with me.  If any of the other ones go down in price, I might pick them up at that time.

Tortoise shell frame sunglasses
Star sunglasses

$.10 each @ Liquidation World (RSP:  $2.99-$9.99)

I really never expected to ever find sunglasses for this price!  They were supposed to be $.30 each, which I thought was a steal already..but since they both needed a bit of work, I originally only picked up the second pair.  After discovering the actual price, I had to go back for another!

It turns out they're both from K mart.  The one with the punched out star is from their "Wild Heart" series, while the other is from their Jaclyn Smith line.  Considering the fact, I really wonder how old these pairs are...no matter, they look good to me!

Lace up oxford boots:  $4.99 @ Urban Behavior (RSP:  $59.50)

I've seen these boots for weeks-they never had my size, so I was beginning to inure myself to the idea of never owning them.

Still, I decided to look on a whim today-they had my size!  The ones I picked up were dark brown, and my friend actually found the ones above.  I liked the above color better, whereas she had no preference, so we ended up trading.  Hooray!
