Loving leopard print - am I turning into my mum?

After buying an animal print scarf from Sportgirl I just did a huge haul of animal print items from Sportsgirl. My hubby often jokes that I'm turning into my mum when I wear animal print stuff. In my defense, animal print has come a long way from when only older women wore it!  I just love Sportsgirl for accessories and i only recently got a leopard print scarf and leopard print beanie from there! this time I definetly blew my shopping ban. I got a leopard print bucket bag with gold studs on the bottom - it's a total Alexander Wang bag rip off for $29.95! An animal print cuff that was not a bargain at $25 and an animal print watch for $20. And then two slouch beanies half price for $10 each. Eeek but I love love all of it! Wore my bag and scarf today :-). 

Proper shopping fail

Argh I had a massive shopping fail.  Got way to excited about these PU sleeved tops at Dotti and bought two for $40, got home and hate them - back they go to be returned!  I don't what I was thinking, there was a huge disconnect between what I thought I was buying and what I got lol.  I also bought a short sleeve one, which I don't actually mind so I will probably keep that one!

Blogger ate my post!

Wtf - just realised my Saturday post has disappeared! So annoyed with Blogger they need to update their game a bit. I can't even remember what I posted about haha. Maybe I posted about picking up two necklaces, a bracelet and a belt for $13 from Colette Accessories! What a bargain! Though I think might lay off the accessories a bit until I leaststart wearing   them all! 

dreaming of Clutches

I really really want this Clare Vivier clutch - but its so expensive and so unpractical, I wouldn't get the cost vs usage worth out of it: http://www.shopbop.com/foldover-clutch-hair-calf-clare/vp/v=1/1594067328.htm?folderID=2534374302198581&fm=other-shopbysize-viewall&colorId=12139.

I have been looking on Etsy for similar cheaper versions, I love Etsy it is so awesome - but being on a shopping ban I haven't been on Etsy for ages!

Bower birding

Shopping ban slightly broken to buy a $9 necklace from Lovisa and two necklaces from Ice for $10. I 'saved' $20 so technically that's not a shopping ban breach...is it? Lol. It's definitely Winter where I am and I'm glad my weather wardrobe app has picked up its game to offer me actually warm wardrobe choices ! Today I pulled out my Jeremy Scott adidas shoes that I bought years ago. Still love these!!

Multi purpose shirts!

I have been really struggling with finding plain collared tops to go with my high waisted skirts and to layer under jumpers.  My corporate Cue collared shirts are not quite right.  So I stumbled upon some cheapie shirts at Iceclothing, this store is such a 70% trash 30% good stuff cheapie store.  It was only $41 for three shirts yay - and they are good for both work and play.  I am not sure that I love the gold necklace I bought yesterday and wore today, the salesgirl talked me into it but its not quite 'me'.
