Sale Time

The mid-year sales are well are truly upon us and one sale that always hooks my attention is Portmans. Quite a few of my trusty-worn-a-few-times dresses are from Portmans all of which have been bought at sale time. And what better time to shop than with a 30% off the marked price offer starting today.

A couple of weeks ago I literally died when I saw the leather fit and flare dress on the website. I don't own anything leather but thought it would totally satisfy my occasional rock chick fashion tendencies.

At that time the dress was marked $169.95 - a little too expensive for my thrifty ways. However at 30% off, this baby could be mine for a little under $120 - much more reasonable considering its original price tag of $250. The issue with that though is the dress was only sent to like the top 5 stores in the state all of which are nowhere near my trusty Toowoomba store. The lovely chic at my store said I could ring one of the other stores, find out what sort of fit the dress is, purchase a gift card in store and then send the gift card in a post bag with a return post bag and the dress could be mine. Urgghh, way too much trouble ...
So promptly at four o'clock i'll be heading down-town-toowoomba to see what else the store might have. Peeking online, these are some items which may grab my fancy.
down to $35
um warm! down to $27.95
i am probably going to the races at the sunny coast on sunday. This whole ensemble looks awesome. It might be too warm though. Jacket down to around $70.00
Will report back on what I decide to get!
What am I wearing to skip off to this sale after work?

Wish me good shopping vibes!

What I Wore Wednesday

Even though it feels like Tuesday today is in fact Wednesday. Why does it feel like Tuesday? Well friends, because us lucky folk here in Queensland had a public holiday on Monday!

Today I braved an item which has the potential to warrant criticism but toned the item down with a plain black top and vintage jacket on Rachel's advice. It is these jeans from asos bought before my shopping ban started ... only eight days ago! I've actually never bought pants off asos fearing that they wouldn't fit but these fit like a dream. Would love to hear what you think!

love this photo!

as always, thanks to my photographer Leah. This photo is awesome!
oh, i also joined the twitter world the other night. Not really sure what I'm doing but I'm sure I'll either work it out or quit using it. My username is petaBallerina : )

On a completely unrelated note ... how HOT did commando look on the biggest loser finale last night?! Going back to teenage speak the only way I can describe him is YUMMY!

What I Wore Wednesday

I've been feeling a little less than enthused about posting outfit photos recently just because I feel pathetic when I compare myself to the 'real' bloggers out there.

Oh well, here are some photos showcasing today's outfit anyway.

asos heart print blouse, target skirt, cotton on wedges, river island belt, collette purse (gift from the lovely Jess)

Shopping with my twinnie this weekend at the Gold Coast - can't wait.

Enjoy your Wednesday xxx
