Floral print shirt dress:  $7.46 (RSP:  $39)


100% cashmere sweater:  $22.46 (RSP:  $99)

Both @ Joe Fresh

I've never seen cashmere this cheap, so I couldn't resist splurging...even though I usually pay much less for my sweaters.

I wasn't really impressed in person.  It didn't seem that much better than the other ones I've been buying!  I'm just glad I got it for an ok price.

I actually got a men's sweater in xs because it was cheaper than the woman's sweater.  At that size you can't even tell it's for a man!  It's really form fitting.

I kind of regret buying the dress because it wasn't that nice in person.  No returns though, so I guess you just have to take a risk when you're buying from joe fresh.

All @ Winners

Surprisingly, I got all of this stuff only an hour after the last time!  I really didn't expect them to mark things down so fast, but they did it twice in that time!  I'm so glad I decided to look again.

I was really excited about those gloves.  I've been eyeing them since they were $10!  I didn't want to pay that much, even though they were always in perfect condition.  These ones are ripped near the fur, but it's an easy fix.  

$10 seemed more like regular price, especially considering that the fur isn't real.  It just didn't seem like much of a deal.

I was pretty happy about that dress too.  I loved the colour, but it was $9 when I first came.  I thought it'd go down to $5, so $3 was a nice surprise!

Ditto on the jacket.  I actually didn't even see it the first time around, but even if I had, I don't think I would have been tempted to pay $16 for it.

$11 was a steal!  Especially considering that it's filled with feathers.  The other puffer I have is just filled with polyfill.   If I knew it was this good, I might have been tempted to pay the $16, so luckily I didn't see it until then.

Cachet - Vintage blue cord dress:  $6.50

Beaded/sequined lace dress:  $3.50


Royal Rossi - Cashemere scarf:  $2.50 (RSP:  ~$50)
Pink quilted long handle purse:  $3

All @ Value Village

I'm glad I went to this one first!  I normally go there second...I wonder if that's a mistake.  This one's way bigger than the other one, but I only went there first because it's really hard to find parking later on.

The dresses are all old school and fabulous!  I thought the white one would be too small for sure, but  I tried it on, and it was workable!

I wonder if the same person owned those two dresses.  You don't really see that style anymore! I really like the fabric.

I wish I knew who made the third dress.  The lining feels like it could be silk!  It's beaded and sequined everywhere, so I'm sure it was pretty pricy new.  I was so surprised they had it marked that low!

The scarf was an impulse buy.  Cheap cashmere...why not?  They had two other ones, but I left them behind because the patterns/colours were ugly.

I was unsure about the purse, but I bought it because I like the long handle.  Plus, I do have the exact same one in white, which I also bought at Value Village!

Hunt club - low heeled leather shoes:  $2.50 (RP:  $4.99)
Longrange of London - Brown leather purse:  $2.99
Cashmere scarf:  $3
Lizardskin purse:  $2.50 (RP:  $3.99)

All @ Salvation Army.

I love BOGO months!  I just wish I knew I could use more than one coupon...$1.50 each for the scarf and purse would have been insane.

Oh well, at least I know for next time.  Though they do make you line up again.

I'm not sure if the green purse is lizardskin.  I thought it was snakeskin at first but it can't be, since it's not in strips and the width is wide.

I just love the design though!  It opens up in a really neat way:


 Even without the coupon, things are priced pretty decently...but who can resist the allure of super-cheap!


My first 100% cashmere item-I'm so happy!  It's practical and a price I wanted to pay.  I found this by accident, and I'm glad I did.

Mondi - wool/cashmere coat:  $4.99 @ Talize

I was just about to leave when I saw this coat.  

I wasn't too sure about it...it's too big for me, and it doesn't look brand new.  I bought it because I liked the design, it's high quality, and I think I can rework it to fit me.  Also, I think I can crisp it up a little.

I already have way too many coats, but none like this one - it almost touches the floor!  I like the buttons too, they clink when you walk.
