Ruched dress w/ruffle front:  $6.29


Lace dress:  $6.29

Both off eBay.

They look like the pictures, but they're way too tight to wear as is....those models must be size 00 or less!  Definitely no more buying dresses from China unless I know they're big enough.

Ribbed skirts:  $2 each @ Bluenotes (RSP:  $8)

I just can't say no to a $2 skirt that has some sort of design.  If they were completely plain I probably would have passed them up (several of them were).

It's hard to see in the picture, but there are three horizontal ribs, and the skirt zips up at the back.

Seductions...the same brand sold at Sirens.

They only had large left, and it was 5 minutes til closing....I thought they would fit so I bought them without trying them on.

I was right!  Most of their clothes are sized stupidly small....that, or I just don't like how tight their fit is.

Dark green wool princess coat:  $1 @ Kim's Village (RSP:  $24.99)

I really didn't think they'd have this sale again!  Next time I better ask if it's a regular occurrence...I'd sure like to be first in line when that comes around again!

Most people were stuffing garbage bags full of things  I'm glad I managed to find these gems.

I almost passed on this because I already have so many coats.  I decided to try it on, and I just couldn't put it back - it was so flattering!

It was fitted and so billowy at the bottom.  It really reminds me of the banana republic coat I bought a while back, including the gorgeous lining:


The shoulder pads have GOT to come out, then I'll have to alter the shoulders a bit....but it's well worth the buck!  I might change the buttons too.

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.

Cream lace dress:  $2.50 @ MCC Thrift store

I've been eyeing this for a while but didn't want to pay full price.  It's not in mint condition, but it's alright for vintage. 

The colours are way off, but it's actually cream with gold buttons.  It even laces up in the back!  I didn't bother to try it on, since I thought I could make it work one way or another.

Floppy wool hat:  $2 @ Icing (RSP:  $32)

I don't even know how to describe this hat....a wide brim fedora?

I don't know if I'll ever wear it, but I don't have any hats like this.  It reminds me of something a pimp would wear, so maybe it'll come out on Halloween.  It seemed worth it considering it's entirely made of wool.

Bandage tights:  $4.56 off eBay

That's a little more than I wanted to pay, but I was tired of waiting for a good deal.  I just love how they look!
