Joe Fresh - Python Print Silk shirt:  $9.04 (RSP:  $59)


Joe Fresh - Sequin snake skirt:  $4.04 (RSP:  $29)

I never normally buy from this store online, because their minimum for free shipping is usually around $50 and I never buy that much.  This time there was no minimum, so I had to jump on it!

The best part was, these are both lower than I thought they'd be!  I'm not sure if it was just a glitch, or if the site just wasn't up to date.  The python shirt was supposed to be $14.94, while the sequin skirt was supposed to be $6.94!!  Those prices are still the same even now.

I had a 10% off code, but this was way higher than that.  The price didn't even change until the very last minute.  Even when I was paying!  I tried to submit my payment twice, but each time there was an error.  But when it finally went through, I noticed that the total was lower!

Oh well, worked out great for me!  It only took about a week to receive too.  They packaged it pretty nicely.  The skirt even has a hanger, and the shirt has a cardboard backing.


Even the packing slip was on heavy weight paper!  I was pretty impressed.

Unfortunately, the clothes don't look as good on me as they do the model!  The snake skirt was a smaller size than I take, but I thought it would fit as a bodycon.  Well, it's not even a bodycon, but the silhouette is so weird!  

It has pockets...which in turn makes me look like I have huge saddlebags!  Which is weird, because it's not tight on me at all, even though I normally wear a large.

The skirt is actually velvet with sequins too, which I wasn't expecting.  Hmm, well we'll see how it looks after I lose some weight!

The shirt doesn't fit either, sadly.  It also doesn't even feel like silk, even though it's 100%!  I would have thought it was just polyester if there was no tag.  

They only had a medium left, and since the fit looked somewhat baggy on the model, I thought I could fit into it.

Well, I was wrong!  It's really form fitting!  I can't wear it right now.  I mean I can button it up, but it's super unflattering. 

Maybe I can wear them both in a month!

Gold belt:  $1.20 @ Urban Planet (RSP:  $6)

I wasn't sure if this was on sale because it wasn't marked, but it was in their 80% off section (which was mostly winter accessories).  

There was only one of them, so the girl just gave it to me for that price.  What a great deal!  I haven't seen any this low for a long time.

Pearl branch necklace:  $2.25 (BIN:  $17.99)
Zara rhinestone necklace dupe:  $3.50 (BIN:  $14+)
Black crochet top:  $5.50 (Highest:  $13.50)(RSP:  $26.90)

Gold cupid shoes:  $.66 (Highest:  $1.45)
Rose shoes:  $.15 (BIN:  $1.20)
Pink cupid shoes:  $.15 (Highest:  $1.76)
Blue ruffle shoes:  $.16 (Highest:  $2.26)

All off eBay.

I'm shocked both of the necklaces were so low!  I've never seen them go so cheaply before, so I'm happy I was the one to get them!  I've wanted both for a very long time.

Same with the top.  It's so gorgeous!  I have a few in other colours coming in the mail.  I've been trying to win them for a long time, but they kept on going over my price range (which was $5).  

I finally decided to go a bit higher, and I won a bunch in no time. Maybe I should have waited, since I have seen them go as low as $3.75 before! 

Anyway, they look the same, but they're lower quality in person.  I was expecting it to be a heavier crochet type material, but it's just like a normal lace.  Oh well, at least it looks as nice as I thought!

I wish I paid less for the gold shoes (they've gone way lower since).  I was excited because I thought they were Ever After High cupid's shoes:


But they're way too small to fit them!!!  Even though the design is exactly the same.  They can only fit the tiniest Barbie feet, so they have a very limited use for me.  Most of my dolls have huge feet!  I guess I have to stick to the ones actually labeled Ever After High / Monster High to get the right size.

American Apparel - Cotton Spandex Jersey Bandeau Pencil Dress in raspberry:  $5 (RSP:  $45)

My first backordered item arrived!  The other 3 haven't even been sent out, so I wonder how long it'll take.

I still wish I could have gotten this dress in pink!  It's sold out now, so I doubt it'll happen.

George - Roll tab chambray floral shirt:  $3 (RSP:  $15)
 

Nygard - Khaki pull on faux fly pants:  $3 (RSP:  $18 - $32)

Both @ Walmart.ca

I think I actually could have sized down for the blouse.  I might just get another one at this price!

I'm not sure if the pants will work out, I might just return them.  I'm really surprised that the retail price is almost double what Wal mart is charging!

My Little Pony Water Cuties - Diamond Mint
My Little Pony Water Cuties - Rarity
My Little Pony Water Cuties -  Pinkie Pie

$14.34 for all @ Superstore (RSP:  $11.99 each!)

Plus a great freebie from L'occitane!  They always have such nice giveaways.  The value of this works out to $8, if the tin doesn't add any additional value.


As for the ponies...Superstore was having a no tax day, so I decided to get these water ponies.  I just thought they were so cool!  I was planning on using my points so I didn't have to pay anything, and they were still on sale for $7.17.

I haven't checked around, but that seemed to be lower than normal, so it seemed like the right time to buy.

Well, they scanned in way higher, so I got one for free.  Yay!  That would work out to $4.27 plus tax each!  I'm sure it would have never gone that low otherwise.

I was planning on buying the skull shores 5 pack, since it would have been $24.94 with no tax.  That would have been $4.45 each plus tax somewhere else!  

That's a great deal, and I did buy a double for that price at target once...but I left these ones behind.  I just didn't care about them that much, and I did already have two of them.  I have so many now, I'd rather just buy the ones that really wow me.

Of course, it's hard to keep to that when you run across deals this amazing!  I hope I don't regret it.

Forever 21 - Mesh-Trimmed Bodycon Dress in Aqua and Teal:  $3.99 each (RSP:  $18.80 each)

Plus sized, as you can tell!  I'm only about a size 10, but Forever 21 bodycon dresses are so small!  Their regular sizes are already one size smaller, whereas their bodycons are around 2 sizes smaller.  

I really don't like super skintight dresses, especially when moderately tight dresses look just as good (and much classier) in my opinion.  They're way more comfortable too!

I got the 1X, and it fits the way I hoped.  Skims my body without being too tight, while showing off my figure in a flattering way.  It's also quite long too, so I'm very happy with them.

The colours are different than expected though...they're not as bright.  But for the price, I'm super happy!  That included free shipping too!  It only took 5 days to arrive, including the day I ordered!

I wish I could have gotten the fuchsia as well:


I had an opportunity to, but since I was rushed for time, I decided to order later.  Well, it was gone later!  It was also a 2X, which I think might have been too big for me.  Oh well.
