Brown jogging pants:  $1.99
Hot Kiss jeans t shirt:  $1.99

Both @ District factory outlet

I don't normally bother looking around Chinatown since I can get better deals at Liquidation World or Winners, but I was in the area and saw this shop.  It was closing down, so I decided to take a look.

Everything in the $2 bin was flawed in some way (the shirt has a slight run), but I can't find anything wrong with the pants...I wonder if I should be worried.  I only wear these type of pants at home; I already have a lot of pajama bottoms, so I passed on this the first time around.

I decided to go back, since I don't have any other pants exactly like this.  I also decided to really dig in deep this time...and that's when I unearthed the shirt above!

The shoulder detailing is what sold me on it-it's studded with a keyhole relief.  I'm also pretty partial to monochrome prints so I picked it up despite the flaw...it doesn't hurt that both items are new with tags!

High School Musical - 8 piece decor in a box set:  $1.99 @ Liquidation World (RSP:  $39.99-$49.99)

I don't care for the series at all, but I thought some of the pieces were really cute-mainly the shelves.

I'm going to be obliterating every trace of its origins before I use it, of course.   It's still on the manufacturer's site!

Sunglasses:  free @ Swimco
3 x Goggles:  $1 each @ EFADS
Eyelashes:  $4.83 @ Ebay

Why the toy label?  Most of these things were for my dolls...I'm in one of those moods again.

The glasses were a promotion-they're really cheap quality.  We're talking the bare minimum necessary to be approved for human use.  If I had known they looked like this, I probably wouldn't have bothered picking them up.  I suppose I'll use them when I don't care how I look/don't care what happens to them.

Snakeskin box purse:  $5 (RSP:  $36.50)

Studded kisslock purse:  $5 (RSP:  $41)

Big ruffled purse:  $5 (RSP:  $41)

All @ Icing.

This came as quite the surprise-for one thing, I didn't even think this sale was going on.  Only a few days ago, it wasn't-I found that strange, since they're normally held simultaneously with Claire's 10 for $10 sale.

Anyhow, I ended up being in the area-I wasn't planning on going this way, but luckily we ended up taking a detour in that direction.  I saw they had their clearance sale on, and decided to go in.

I was amazed!  They had the biggest selection of clearance purses I had ever seen...which was quite a feat for this particular store, since it's normally pretty picked over.  Since this is the busiest one, I've never found anything good here...but I suppose I just happened to be there at the right time.

There was one more box type purse that I was thinking about getting, but in the end I left it.  I might end up picking it up again in the future, who knows.

The black ruffled purse is the same as the one I bought previously-or so I thought.

Disappointingly, it doesn't have any studs on it.  It's pretty lackluster without it...it doesn't look like they all fell off, so I wonder why they opted to go the plain route for this one.

Burnished grey pvc bomber jacket:  $15 @ Sirens (RSP:  $29)
Black rosette top:  $5 @ Sirens (RSP:  $19.50)
Kurhn clone doll:  $1.49 @ Value Village

I actually went here yesterday as well-I grappled with making a purchase there, but decided to check out another location in hopes they would have the right sizing.  They didn't, so I scrambled to get back here today-ironically, I ended up purchasing something completely different than what I intended!

Previously, I wanted to get a ruffled Dollhouse coat and a white/black trench coat-when I tried them on again today, I thought they looked hideous!  This was the coat:

I would have jumped on it if it was this one!  Sirens and Dollhouse must source from the same manufacturer, I don't see why it would be there otherwise.  

I'm really glad I didn't pick them up then, since after the fact I really lamented not doing so (and having to make the return trip the next day).

Same deal with the doll.  I saw it yesterday, took way too long to make a decision, then decided to leave it.  I thought it was a Kurhn doll, but since I didn't see any markings I wasn't sure.

Turns out she's a clone, but they use the exact head mold.  I'm kind of disappointed she's not the real thing, but glad I got her anyway.  Ironically, I thought she was prettier than the official ones due to her rooted eyelashes.

10 for $10 @ Claire's.

I spent soooo long at this location...I really only wanted the lace/pleather gloves, the sunglasses, and the compact (it's also a handy pop out brush!)-I wanted them so much I decided it was worth it to pad out my order.

It took until closing time for me to decide-I'm satisfied with what I picked out, except I wish I didn't pick up the studded gloves.  I forgot that I already had them in that colour, and these ones have some missing studs that I didn't notice at the time.

I wish I picked up another pair of lace/pleather gloves, since the seem is coming undone at one of the fingers.

I also wouldn't have minded a backup pair, since these are comfortable and look great...whereas the other ones are uncomfortably tight.  Oh well, live and learn!

I don't really care for Hello Kitty, but I didn't think anything else there was worth it.  I'll probably see if I can give it to someone who's into that sort of thing.

5 x Hanes 2 pack thongs:  $.20 each @ Liquidation World (RSP:  $5-$9.99 each)

I was in the area, so I decided to venture into the local Liquidation World.  I really wasn't expecting to see anything new-for the most part there wasn't, but I came upon these little gems right here.

I don't really need any more underwear, but for that quality, and that price, I decided to pick them up.  Besides, I love pink, and I especially love pink polka dots!  The rest of the trip ended up being a bust, so I'm glad I didn't walk away empty handed.

There were around 15 there but I only picked up 5-hooray for restraint!

Drag Me to Hell bluray:  $3 @ Blockbuster (RSP: $9.99)
The Host dvd:  $2.09 @ Blockbuster (RSP: $6.99)
Black shirred halter dress:  $5.99 @ Angela Fashions (RSP:  $12.99)
Lace rosette bib necklace:  $2.79 @ Claire's (RSP:  $21)
Purple shirred halter dress:  $5.99 @ Angela Fashions (RSP:  $12.99)

I liked that dress so much, I decided to get it in all available colours-heaven help me if there end up being more.

I don't normally like paying that much for a necklace from Claire's, but I was just so smitten with this one-it's so pretty!  I know I could make one myself, but with the time and effort it would take to source the materials....I decided to just pay the three bucks.

I went to Blockbuster to use my gift card before the store closed down, but sadly, they weren't accepting them. 

I don't normally buy movies, but I just loved these ones...they were movies I would watch more than once, so I picked them up since they were cheap.  I definitely wouldn't have been willing to pay more than I did.

Shirred lace halter dress:  $5.99 @ Angela Fashions (RSP:  $13.99)

This is the same style as the other one, except this one's a dress-I thought  this color combination was much better, so I decided to get it in the end.  I probably would have still bought the first one if I knew this one existed, the style is so pretty.

I didn't realize that they were different lengths until I got home.  The last one was definitely a top, while this one looks like it might be a passable dress.  Now I'm thinking about getting another 'dress' in black....I kind of wish I didn't buy the first top now.

It's just too bad that the quality is kind of shoddy-the ties up top are already half ripped off.  I bought it anyway, since I'm such a sucker for lace.

Musical jewelry box:  $4.99 @ Salvation Army

I really didn't want to pay that much, but I found it so charming....I finally relented since it was for charity.

Ironically, the guy behind me tried to haggle for a hat-the clerk was willing to offer him a 25% off discount, so perhaps I'll try my luck the next time I'm in this conundrum.

I actually left the store and came back for it!  You can see why I was so enamored with this thing: it plays Swan lake, and it features dancing swans!

If it was a few bucks I would have picked it up without a second thought, but I was unsure for five bucks.  It is only plastic, I wouldn't have hesitated if it was made of a better quality material.

It's marked YAP's Hong Kong 1981 on the back-turns out the company is still around, good for them!

They have some awesome stuff-I would have been soooo happy if I found this one instead!  I'm going to have to keep my eye out for this company.
