Pajar - brown leather boots with button detailing:  $5 @ Winners (RSP:  $180)

I bought these boots (plus the tights) at the first Winners I went to today.  I went specifically hoping that these boots would still be there..luckily for me, they were!  

The reason they were so cheap is because one of the top flaps has a rip in it, but it'll be easy to mend.  

I'm so glad I didn't buy these boots in brown!  These were $10 cheaper, and I like the design better.  Besides, I'd rather have a variety of styles, opposed to just having the same thing in different colours.
 

Linea Domani - black gathered tights:  $1 @ Winners (RSP:  $45)

I just thought they looked neat.  I also saw a bunch of Dollhouse tights that looked exactly the same, but they were all gone when I went back.
 

Adrianna Papell - little black dress:  $3 @ Winners (RSP:  $200+)

It's hard to see the details, but there are pleats at the front and back.  Out of her other dresses, this one looks the most similar:


The pleats intersect, unlike the other one above.  I'm also sure there used to be a belt that went with the dress, but it's long gone.

Still, the quality and fit are amazing!  I needed a classy black dress, and I probably couldn't have found a better one.  

It was cheap because the zipper was broken, but that's a pretty easy fix. 
 

Pink studio - Danae - navy blue suede ankle boots with fabric inserts:  $5 @ Winners (RSP:  $100)

 

Just something a little different to add to my shoe collection :o.  

I found this at the same dead Winners I found the last coat-they also had these Juicy Couture boots for $11!  The reason they were so cheap was because the zipper was broken on one of the boots.

I was still tempted to buy it, since I know how to fix zippers..but then I noticed that the third buckle/strap was missing, so I passed on it.  

I saw one in perfect condition at another Winners for $22, which is an amazing price for them..but I just wasn't that crazy about the style.  Plus, they were really uncomfortable to walk in, even though they were larger than the size I normally take! 

I already have similar boots that I actually like better, so I decided to leave them behind.
 

Foxy outerwear - $8 @ Winners (RSP:  $108)

I was really surprised to find this.  It was at the deadest winners out of all of the ones I went to today..they seriously only had about ten items on the rack and a few things on a table.  

Someone must have brought it out later on, since I saw it just thrown over the rack before I was about to leave.  

It was a large, but surprisingly, it didn't run too big.  I would have preferred a tighter fit, but it's comfortable and not too oversized.  A warm, great looking coat.

Dollhouse - Penelope - brown (presumably fake) suede boots:  $5 @ Winners (RSP:  $85)

I found these at the first Winners I went to.  I would have preferred a bigger size, but these ones are my actual size (8.5).  For the comfort factor, I always try to go a few sizes bigger when it comes to boots. 

These are comfortable enough, and for that price, I couldn't resist.  Plus, it is a brand I love.  

A funny thing to note-both of the Dollhouse shoes I bought today have a fur leopard print lining.  What are the chances!

I almost ended up getting a mismatched pair, so thank goodness I checked the other sizes on the table.  

I noticed that there was one 8 and 8.5 boot each left, so I knew one of mine had to be an 8.  I didn't notice before because that one didn't have the size shown.
 


For as long as I've been shopping at Winners (about a decade now), I've always had a fondness for Dollhouse.  

Back then I just bought some tacky shirts from them...I'm still not very fond of their shirts, but I do love their shoes and bags!  

I mainly bought girly tees whenever I went there-I kind of wish I expanded my horizons back then!  

It was primarily because I was overweight and uninterested in fashion.  I wish I picked up at least a few purses and wallets back then, but at least I'm expanding my closet now.

 

I'm a bit undecided on these shoes.  I think they're interesting, and I don't have any shoes that are remotely like these ones..but they really remind me of elf shoes.  I thought they might grow on me, but I might end up returning them in the end :x.

I bought these ones and the Harajuku Lovers sandals at the second Winners I went to today.  To my shock, practically all of the clothes were already sold out!  There was literally only a tiny rack with around ten items left.  

Thankfully I didn't leave empty handed.  I'm really surprised they had these gems left behind with all of the crap.
