If you thought this post was going to be about a crazy Saturday night party, tequilla shots, loud music, fire-twirling, smeared mascara...you thought wrong. Sorry! The "wild" in my weekend doesn't refer to my Friday or Saturday night's adventures. Friday was a night in with friends, eating pizza, drinking a yummy strawberry+raspberry+champagne concoction and watching 'The Inbetweeners'. Saturday I met some girlfriends for coffee and long conversations about...fashion! Surprise, surprise!
The "wild" refers to my weekend's shopping adventures...Bye-bye boys! Hello girls, I knew you'd stay!..The "wild" refers to - you got it, Animal Prints!

Confession: I'm scared of animal prints! But I love them, in small doses. So here's how I decided to inject some fierceness into my (relatively) tame closet.
Original Price $69.99, I got a further 25% off and only paid $52.49!

I wore the flats to work today. Unfortunately, I don't have
pics but just FYI, I wore it with a red full-sleeves top, white cardigan, grey
coat (its bloody cold in Melbourne!), jeans and dull/oxidised gold bracelet and
necklace, with my hair tied up in a high bun.
Signing out for now, see you next time...where the wild
things are ;)....
Loving your blog so far! I've just started a blog and I'm a total budget shopper too! Did you only buy those boots recently? Such a bargain!
ReplyDeleteThanks, @ramastar!! And thanks for leaving the FIRST comment on this blog!! :D
ReplyDeleteI bought these boots towards the end of winter last year, so not very recent and it was just coincidence that they'd been marked down the day I went to buy them because I was happy to pay full price. But they have a black version instore now - its called the Bella boot, they might bring back the taupe so keep checking, you never know! HTH.
Would love to read your blog, too. Do send me a link. :)
ETA: Oops! Sorry, I found you :) ...i'm such a blog-newb!
ReplyDeleteFollowing you back & congrats on the little bundle of joy that's on its way! :D Happy-blogging!
