Thrift Hunting Meme

LOL! I’m rushing I know. I forgot the meme I was hosting. I was on lazy, procrastinating mood today and it was only now that it stuck me, yay! its Thursday and I’m supposed to post this and still have tons to do and pending research on Blue Cross Blue Shield Blue Advantage. But better late than never, right? At least that’s what the great procrastinators like me, tell themselves always :D

Today, I’m sharing something I love to bits! I’m not the ‘dressy’ type of person and it pains me to buy a dress that is expensive knowing I won’t wear it often. So I prefer bargain stuff. Last Christmas though I decided to give myself a gift. Mainly because I had a few weddings to attend and didn’t have a dress to wear. I scoured a web for something elegant but still within my price range and found this at Target. Priced at $39.99 which I thought was still pricey but I had some discount codes from previous purchases so I got 20% Off plus free shipping to a US address so all in all I paid $32.

I was apprehensive about the dress quality but when it came I love it!!! It had hints of gold, definitely not cheap looking and the sewing was fantastic. One of my better buys. And I’ve worn it a couple of times already. It’s a lot pricier than previous buys but its good value. I’m sure it’ll see a lot of wearing from me.

Here’s how it actually looked like. I like pairing this with the turqouise necklace my friend  Sam made. =)

A BB: Suddenly Skinny Cami Shapewear

A BB or A Best Buy! Why? Because I need it. And I got it at a good price. You know I don’t have a model’s bod but should I stop myself from wearing the clothes I want to?  Nope. But I do get bothered by the wiggly bits hanging over hahaha but there’s a solution to everything right?

Yes, I’m dieting and exercising and slowly getting some good results but while we are waiting for me to get rid of the extra handles, well I could use a little help from a slimming shapewear! I’ve beens scouring the web for a good one but I keep seeing ones with a steep price tags. Like $40 to $100!! I’d much rather buy myself a stationary bike with that. Yes, I know I’m a cheapskate.

Thankfully, I stumbled across this one at Target last November. Self Expressions by Suddenly Skinny Cami in Latte. It’s made of nylon and spandex and priced at just $16.99 with free shipping. So, I lost no time in ordering.

I LOVE it!!! Comfortable but firm and controlling enough! I wish I bought a couple more and in other colors too.
