Camp and winter are both nearing fast, so I decided it was time to stock up on my clothes-arsenal. I plan to write a post on dressing for camp in the coming month. But basically, my plan for camp: buy dark clothing to minimise mud stains. And my plan for winter was: stock up the wardrobe, start with basics and essentials, build all outfits around these basics. And also get stuff I've been wanting for a long long time.
So yes, today, Jenny, Van & I lugged ourselves around DFO in search for various ridiculous demands, from a specifically v-necked, blue pin-striped, dominantly white, stretch singlet (my demand), to a pair of cheap acid wash jeans that can be stabbed and slashed with a blunt knife (Van's demand).
Okiedokies, my purchases:
Siren heels for $30 (they used to be $150 or something) from Wanted Shoes Co. I love the sides:
Pierre Fontaine patent pumps, $30 for 2 pairs, previously $70 per pair. They're so versatile.
Left: Jay Jays tartan shirt-dress, $30.You can probably tell that I'm really into the whole tartan boyfriend's-shirt look at the moment.
Right: Jay Jays plaid shirt, $15.
Left:Cotton On plaid shirt-dress, $10.
Right: Jay Jays grey stonewashed skinny jeans $40. I am attempting to buy skinny jeans in every wearable colour possible, so I can just wear them under anything all winter long.
5 basics from Barkin, 3 short sleeved tops for $20, 2 long sleeved tops for $25. I went absolutely crazy and bought shirts in every cut available: v-necks, scooped neck, etc etc. I have been meaning to get a heap of basics in black and white for ages. Now I can wear them under everything all winter long, with the skinny jeans.
Left: Ally faux-leather bomber jacket, $60. Really happy with this purchase. It fits crazily well.
Right: Ally, fake Sass&Bide rats for $20! TWENTY DOLLARS!!!!! Remember when I mentioned the Sass & Bide Rats leggings on my birthday-wishlist post? Yeah I finally found a cheaper alternative. I am saving around $200 here.
Supre backless longsleeved leotard, $20. The back is amazing:
Left: Supre black satin slip dress $18- yet again, another basic to wear under anything.
Right: Supre black boat-necked dress $30. I'm crazy about the boat-neck cut at the moment. I am stocking up heavily.
SES hooded black anorak, $30. I don't know about you, but I'm completely in love with this jacket. You can wear it with anything and it'd look amazing. I had to further demonstrate the awesomeness of the jacket by putting it on myself, in case I haven't managed to communicate the awesomeness of the jacket thusfar.
And for those of you who follow me on twitter- you'd know that my parentsly decided to randomly and spontaneously surprise me with a little puppy right? And this is really unlike them, since they are neither random, nor spontaneous. But yes, I came home from work, and there was a tiny little puppy inside a cardboard box on our kitchen floor. My sister and I agreed on naming him Yoshi. Yep, after the dinosaur in Super Mario:
