My Not-So-Bargain Finds


My recent venture into the city shops have caused some damage to my bank account. No, nothing major. I honestly think they were good buys - probably not 100% necessary - but my excuse is that I felt I had to take advantage of the mid-year sales. (And I need another pair of black shoes.)

... which leads me to point out that Australian sales are crap. Prices are too high to begin with so even if stuff go on sale, they will always be comparably higher than their overseas counterparts. Like this Nine West shoe for instance.



(I know it's so boring and bordering on matronic but they are practical shoes for someone who works in the city and walks around much, i.e. shops around during lunch time.)

Anyway, this pair in the Sydney stores cost 99 AUD. Go to the Nine West US website and they are on sale for 29.99 USD. Alright, the US site no longer has my size but still ... Just disappointing but not much of a choice either.

I also got this organic cotton tee from French Connection - I figured if I buy sale stuff, I might as well do something nice for the environment by supporting organic stuff like this tee. This is on sale for $19.95.



I also got Zoe this baker boy hat in black. So cute on her. :)

That's pretty much it. See? I've been good!
