A "Proper" Winter Jacket

Zoe's been complaining about not having a "proper" winter jacket. Yes, she uses the word "proper" quite a lot when it comes to clothes. "Proper" as in something she can use to make porma. After searching countless tween stores and brands, I finally found this:

It's from Aussie brand Bardot, which has a tween line called Bardot Kids. The adult sized jacket is about 330 AUD on the online store, but the kid sized ones are about a hundred bucks less HOWEVER ... because I found Zoe's from Myer which is having a clearance sale at the moment, I ended up paying 112 AUD for this jacket. I went for a slightly bigger size so Zoe can still have a "proper" jacket till the next winter or two.

I'm a bit jealous, I should have gotten the size 14 - wishful thinking tells me I can still fit in kid-sized clothing. :(

The only bargain I scored for myself lately is a tee from ... *drum roll* Bardot Kids line.

Sale Alert!

Long time, no post. (Read: long time, no shopping!) And that is true!

Today, after a very long time, I ventured into the shops with my newest officemate DR and we passed by this glaring sign by the Nine West store:

DR and I went in immediately and went straight for the boots. Prices range from the 160-180 AUD for the knee-high ones. I tried on 3 pairs, DR did about 4.

I almost bought this and DR this but instead of being kunsintidora to each other's impulses, we stopped each other from buying those shoes just because they were on sale. There's finally some sense injected into my brain, don't you think? :)

P.S. I think I should start reporting on Zoe's shopping haul - lately she's been the only one who gets to hoard stuff - well, just about right for a growing girl. (The other day I bought her a pair of skinny jeans in size 9 (her age) and while the length fits her like a glove, the waist was too small!)
