Lip balm w/dog keychain:  $2 (RSP:  $12)
Boyshorts:  free (RSP:  $9.50)

Both @ Victoria's secret

I got an offer in the mail for a completely free pair of panties.  Previously I had only gotten a $10 off anything coupon (which I redeemed for a body mist).

This time there was a $10 off coupon as well, but it was only valid on regular price items.  I don't think they had that restriction last time.

Hardly anything is under $10!  There was a body spray that was $10, but I wasn't that into it. I thought this was adorable and worth $2.

In retrospect, I probably should have gotten another pair of underwear!  I wonder if that coupon is valid when the total is under $10.

Studios W by Sue Wong - Beaded strapless chiffon dress:  $12 (RSP:  $129.99 - $240)
Monteau - Floor length high neck dress:  $8 (RSP:  $19.99 - $40+)


Moments by Linga Dore - Floral satin bustier:  $2 (RSP:  $19.99+)
Elizabeth Arden - Provocative Woman 50 ml EDP:  $16.99 (RSP:  $42.50)


Element Denim jeans:  $2 (RSP:  $19.99 - $65)
Parasuco jeans - Suzy:  $5 (RSP:  $34.99 - $110)
Ozmo - Pale salmon pink jeans:  $5 (RSP:  $29.99 - $50)

All @ Winners

The better parts of this haul!  My favourites are the dresses...they weren't exactly clearance pricing, but I liked them enough to buy them still.  The beaded dress was totally worth it, but the other one wasn't...it seems like a fair price to pay, considering it's just cotton jersey.

I totally need a dress like that - casual for every day wear, but still nice enough to look good.  I haven't found any at a price I wanted to pay, so this one was ok with me.

This one has a lot of nice design elements - I love the collar and the hem.  It's a bit asymmetrical and it has a nice flow to it, it isn't just a straight up and down dress.

I'm not sure about the perfume...I saw it at another winners and thought about it.  When I got home I read about the notes, and it sounded like something I'd like.

It had so many good reviews!  This one had the 30 ml and the 50 ml...I ended up getting the bigger one since it worked out to be a better deal.  I just hope I like it!


I'm kicking myself for passing up another perfume - tattoo by Michel Germain.  It was only $12.99, but I thought the bottle was so ugly, and I couldn't really smell it.

The reviews online ended up being great, and it's actually supposed to smell really similar to another perfume I want.  I totally wish I bought it now...that price was for 100 ml!

Marilyn Monroe intimates - White push up bra:  $3 (RSP:  $9.99 - $36)
Warners - Full coverage shaping bra:  $2 (RSP:  $12.99 - $39)
XOXO - Black sequin bra:  $3 (RSP:  $9.99 - $20)
Nine West - Glamorama - Calf hair tiger print gold frame clutch:  $26 (RSP:  $49.99 - $125)

All @ Winners.

I don't know if I'll keep any of these bras yet, since I haven't tried them on.  I wear so many  layers when I go out, it's such a hassle to try anything on!

The sequin bra is the same one I bought in this post.  I think this one will actually fit me the way I am now though.

They had a ton of $2 and $3 bras here too, but a lot of them are cheap and tacky looking.  I have enough of those!  Now I need bras that aren't super padded and actually support me.  I hope some of these fit the bill.

The clutch was an impulse buy.  It's way more than I wanted to pay..in fact, that's the most I've ever paid for a bag so far!

But it was made from real calf hair and I just liked everything about it.

Then when I got home, I saw that it was actually $1 cheaper on their website!  Argh.  Maybe I should return it and see if it goes any cheaper.

Liv - Making Waves Katie doll:  $3 (RSP:  $9.99 - $18)
Renee Rafe - Black silver foil dotted push up bra:  $2 (RSP:  $9.99 - $20)
XOXO - Black sequin band bra:  $2 (RSP:  $9.99 - $24.99)

All @ Winners.

I almost didn't know what to do with myself today!  I went to the bra section, and almost EVERY bra was $3...it was so hard to decide!

A bunch were $2 as well, but most weren't my size.  I really wish I didn't buy all of those $3 bras in the past, now there are a bunch of better $3 ones!  Now I want to see what the other stores have.

The Liv doll was an impulse buy.  I buy up any $2 ones I find used, so I reasoned that I had to buy this $3 one new! 

Too bad she doesn't have much of an outfit, but I do like her hair and sunglasses.

Rene Rafe - Red w/black lace super push up bra:  $3 (RSP:  $9.99 - $20)
Marilyn Monroe intimates - Lilac super push up bra:  $3 (RSP:  $9.99 - $36)

Both @ Winners.

This location had cheap bras the last time I went, so I was hoping they would this time too.  I wasn't disappointed!

They had a ton of new ones that I don't remember seeing before, so it looks like the low prices weren't a fluke.  I've looked at two other locations, and those ones were only $5 at their lowest!

I didn't try them on, but luckily both of them fit great.  Hooray!  I hope they have more next time.

70's Super size Barbie (RP:  $4.99 - $9.99)
Frederick's of Hollywood - White lace zip up bustier (RP:  $3.99) (RSP:  $60+)
Noi - Tan sleeveless top w/knotted collar (RP:  $2.99)

All for $8.98 @ Salvation Army.

I felt lame coming back here again just a day after.  I decided I really wanted that Barbie, so I thought I could find something else to make it worthwhile.

The corset has some stains in it, I hope they'll come out.  I liked the design and it's a good brand, plus it's a reasonable price after the coupon.

The tank is really flattering and I don't have any necklines like that one.  $3 each was about what I wanted to pay, I didn't really want to pay regular price for any of them.

Sophie.b - pink bra w/black lace accents:  $3 (RSP:  $9.99 - $20)
Rene Rafe - pink zebra print bra:  $3 (RSP:  $7.99 - $16)

Both @ Winners.

Plus perfume samples and a copy of H&M magazine - finally!  I've figured out their distribution schedule.  I'll never miss an issue again...whereas before, I've only gotten one a year for the past few years!

I was really surprised to see such cheap bras at Winners today.  I even found a $2 one!  I tried on 5 but only walked away with these two...the zebra one was an afterthought. 

I thought there'd be no way it would fit, but surprisingly, it fits better than the other one.

I looked at another Winners and it wasn't as good...I saw the same bras for $5!  I'm really happy I saw the ones above.

12 x Lace underwear: $.63 each @ EFADS (RSP:  $1.25- $2 each)

It would have been $18 for all of them at full price!  I ended up paying a bit over $7.

I think all of these chains are closing down...it's kind of sad.  I'm glad I didn't pay full price for these, but now I'm kicking myself for paying $1 each!  

Most of the ones I bought last time were still there...only 3 of them weren't. 

Even then, that's just the specific colour, they still had the same styles there!  Would have saved myself $3 if I waited until now.

I really love the one with the little hearts.  That wasn't there last time.  All of these are pretty cute, I wouldn't have thought they came from a dollar store if I didn't buy them myself.

Things are down to 8 items for $5...if it goes even lower, I might buy more!

UXL - Red military blazer:  $6.50
Blush - Pink stripe bustier w/boning:  $2.50

All @ Talize.

That blazer took my breath away!  It's just perfect...the fit, the style, everything!  I'm so in love with the cuffs and collar.  I didn't even hesitate when I saw the price.

I'm not sure how old it is, probably circa the 90's since the tags are vintage and it was made in Canada.

I was a bit unsure on the corset, but since I really liked the design, it was like new, and super cheap, I bought it.

The line up was sooo long this time!  The longest I've ever seen, anywhere....it was all the way back to the toy section.  At first I thought that was the line up for the CHANGE room, it was THAT bad!

I think I was in line for half an hour....there's a half of sale next week but I don't think I'll come.  It's only on two tags, and I'd rather to go Value Village's sale!

2 x Textured (one red snakeskin, one black squares) clutch wallets w/ straps
8 x Lace underwear

$1 each @ EFADS (RSP:  $2 each)

It's pretty bittersweet.  The two EFADS near me are closing down, so they're having a 5 for $5 sale.  I took this opportunity to buy all of the things I was sort of eyeing, but didn't want to pay full price for.

Not that I ever thought they would go on sale.  I just thought that maybe I could find it online cheaper.

Even though I don't like thongs much, I had to get the leopard one!  I always thought that one was so cute, and was tempted at full price.  Of course, now I'm glad I didn't buy them!
I probably could have gotten the rest online (sans the wallet) for the same or cheaper, but I thought these were all really cute and decent quality.  The same kind you'd pay $4+ for at a place like Zellers.

Well, RIP EFADS!  I've gotten a lot of decent stuff from you over the years, but Dollarama really does what you do better.

Tramp - Turquoise green shirt w/slit sleeves:  $.70 (RSP:  $19.99-$40)
Mine - Plaid shirt w/cut out shoulders:  $3 (RSP:  $19.99-$40)
Freedom USA - Tattoo print shirt:  $2 (RSP:  $19.99+)


Sharagano - Brown skirt pants:  $2 (RSP:  $24.99-$48+)
D'annah - White ruched tank top:  $2 (RSP:  $16-$28)
Blush - Olive green bra w/cameo:  $1 (RSP:  $12.99-$28)

All @ Winners.

This was a great haul!  I absolutely love the first two tops in the first picture, they're so fashion forward!  I don't have anything like them.  I wore the plaid shirt the first day I got it.

The pants are crazy too...they're those really wide pants that look like skirts.  The one I have is plus size, so it goes up pretty high too - this one could double as a pantsuit!

I normally find those hideous, but with a neutral colour like this, I think it could work.  I don't have anything like this in my closet, so I was glad to find it.

The bra is gorgeous!  It has a tiny little cameo in the middle.  It's so up my alley.

XOXO - Wide yellow/black belt:  $.70 (RSP:  $9.99-$20)

All @ Winners.

I was so surprised this location had anything left!  I remember the last time I came here on a sale day, I could count the number of items left on one hand!  I left empty handed that time so I'm glad it wasn't a repeat this time around.

The halter top is surprisingly flattering on.  I'm glad I gave it a chance.  I was initially going to leave it behind.

I also left behind a lot of $3 sandals that looked great, but were hard to walk in.  Why can't I have better feet?

Michael Kors - Black leather high heel sandals:  $3 (RSP:  $79.99-$145)
Blue leopard print bra:  $2 (RSP:  $12.99-$25)

Both @ Winners.

I came back here for a specific bra, but sadly, it was already gone.  This location barely had anything left so I was surprised I walked away with anything at all.

The shoes are gorgeous, but they make my legs kind of tired.  Also, they're half a size too big...but they seemed to look alright on. 

The bra is nice, but I notice at home that the price was for a two pack...I might return it if the fit isn't that great.  There are no tags to indicate who the maker is.

All @ Winners.

Well, this location was almost a bust.  Everything was still pricey, thank goodness I stumbled upon this section!  It wasn't even properly placed in the final clearance area, which is probably why I lucked out.

I would have left the black panties behind if it wasn't for their original price!  They seemed pretty basic, the quality and design didn't seem to warrant the price.

Turns out the company has been in business for 125 years....impressive.

They're made out of 100% cotton, but it's so smooth it doesn't feel like it!  Definitely a great find.  It goes for $36 new!

Funnily enough, just about all of the Winners tags show a much lower "compared to" price.  The blush panties were $18 off the mark!

Striped corset/skirt set:  $15.01 off eBay

I didn't want to pay this much, but I wasn't sure how long the seller would be listing.  They're normally $20+ so I took a chance on it.  

Annoyingly, most of them were bought by this one jerk.  I knew their max was fifteen bucks so I finally decided to play their game after losing so many times.

Charlotte Russe - NWT Gold babydoll top:  $4 (RSP:  $21.99)
Victora's Secret - NWT lace cropped cami:  $3
Urban Behavior - lace babydoll tank:  $2.50
RW & Co - purple lace top:  $2.50


Naturalizer leather shoes:  $4 (RSP:  $100...at least the ones now)

All @ Talize.

It's finally half off day again!  It just happened to be the same as Value Village's...what a marketing ploy.  

I ended up coming here first because I haven't been there in a while, and the things there seem to be better quality/priced.

Well, it wasn't as great as I expected, but I did end up with a lot of stuff I loved!  Way too many mall brands though..I'm going to have to curb myself with that from now on!

In any case, I was surprised to see the Victoria's secret slip.  It looked vintage so I was surprised to see they were the maker - it even had tags on!  I wonder how old it is.  It's so adorable, it even has lace covered buttons!

Never heard of Charlotte Russe until now, but I took a look at their website and was instantly reminded of Forever 21.  I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have picked up that top if it wasn't NWT.

I was hesitant on the last two tops since they were mall brands, but I'm glad I bought them.  Both are really flattering. especially the purple one - I was considering putting it back, but now I'm glad I didn't!

The shoes are classy and comfortable.  They're white with gold accents.  I kind of didn't want to pay $4 for them since I could have gotten them less at the Salvation Army...if they ever had my size for that brand...but I digress.

I'm glad I decided to try them on even though they were marked size 10...they fit me great!  That's vintage sizing for you I guess.

 Lace dress:  $7.59
Blue lace bustier:  $5.18

Both off  eBay.

Surprisingly, the l.ace dress was exactly as shown!  Normally it ends up being a sad ripoff of the thing pictured, but gladly that wasn't the case this time.

It's gorgeous, but really made for tiny girls.  I'll definitely have to lose a few pounds before I wear it out, it's way too tight in the skirt area!

The bustier looks pretty, but the cups ended up being weirdly flat.  It looks horrible on.

Funnily enough, there was money included in the package!  I am now the proud owner of 1 chinese yuan note...at least it looks neat.  It's worth 16 cents if it's not fake!
