Another Saver's Hit - So Good

Me and Nadya planned a day out today.
12:09 train from Watergardens, although it ended up being the 12:29 train.
Went to Footscray, Ate breakfast. I had vegetable and bean curd egg noodle soup while Nadya had Beef and Beef ball rice noodle soup. Then we went to Savers where we spend quite a bit of time. I found these pretty cool nikes and these even cooler Alifes. The Alife's were a mens size 11, they were beige/yellow in colour very cool and only $3.99! i planned to buy them and then sell them for triple on ebay. woo. but then i kept looking at the shoe, and when i did that i saw how yucky and gross buying stranger's shoes was. there were sticky black marks on the inside soles and black curly hair stuck to the glue. ew. i put them back. i dont wanna get sick.
I ended up getting this very cool vintage mirror. it's attached to a stand which allows it to be swiveled up or down. its perfect when putting on make up. I also found this crazy looking vintage jacket, it was yellow/green and red all over with triangular shaped material where the snap buttons go. i dont think papa or nadya liked my crazy jacket but it made me smile when i put it on, thats how i know this jacket is a must! ill post up pictures soon. theres a couple of other cool jumpers but its such a turn off seeing tomato sauce stains and human grey hairs embedded into the knits. yuck.
after savers it was Forges exploring. they are closing down, my childhood memories will be demolished with the building it once was =(
we then went pork roll buying and custard bun hunting. nadya tried olympic donuts for the 1st time and she loved it!
it was home time after that. Next adventure: Brunswick.'

Winter Shopping

I have broken my 1-2months shopping drought by skipping school and buying winter clothes at watergardens. seeing as there has been a deposit in my bank account and to celebrate my ebay success and that Deborah K was on 50% off everything, i decided to spend. just a little. i need winter clothes, i really want a chunky, heavy but oh so comfortable military style black jacket with unnecessary buckles and buttons. i havent spotted one that i like yet. i need warm clothes, mainly pants that isnt leggings and stockings and perhaps jumpers. especially when i go to london and paris.
i feel guilty for spending after all this sacraficing saving for money. but i did buy everything for really good prices (on sale) and everything i bought i will definetly use and get some wear out of. here is what i bought and what i spent.
Vintage Trackie Crop 3/4 Sleeve Jumper
$14.99 from Factorie
Wear with singlet that is tucked into pants.
Navy Blue Knitted Jumper/Dress Top (Back)
$6.00 from Deborah K
Wear as a dress with stockings and a singlet or
the black petticoat I got from Glassons as this top is see through
Black Studded bag with Chain strap
$12 from Deborah K ($40 at Femme)
I've been eyeing this since I've worked at Femme,
I prefer it in beige but they didn't stock it.
Puffy Black Fur-Hooded Long Vest
$40 (from $110) at Giordano
They were having a 50% off jackets sale! Vman bought a really nice jacket too.
Wear over long sleeve top, jumpers or dress for added comfort. This vest is very asian.
Total Spent:
$73 for 4 items = $18.25 each NOT BAD!
I finished off this day with a KFC Ultimate Burger Meal. mmmm so yum. it was all vman's fault since his hands smelt like chicken marinate that reminded me of KFC. i just had to have it!
