Have you bought any clothes lately?

I treated myself today and bought two pieces of clothing!

One is a gaucho pant suit in moss green. It's cotton so I hope it won't shrink when I wash it...

And I bought this gorgeous dress that looks like a China dress (= fabric-wise but it doesn't have that Chinese colar thingie, it's actually a strap dress). Black with beautiful burgundy red embroidery.
Looking forward to a special occasion when I get to wear this. It accentuates the curves I don't really have...gives me the hourglass figure sort of.

And they were such a bargain! The gaucho pant suit was originally $120 but I got it for $20

, the dress was originally $240 but I paid $40. I just gotta mend the zipper areas (they are coming undone so that's why they were on sale) which shouldn't be too difficult. Yay~~

Wow I buy myself things all the time, the biggest binge so far was on a brown lacoste polo for $72, but after that it was some basic $13 shirts from Abercrombie and such.

i just spent $33 bucks and got two pieces of clothing:
a cute pair of shorts (down from $40 got them for $15) and a pair of black tights with lace around the bottom to wear under the shorts until it heats up ($18) there was some awesome bargains today i wish i had more money

Yeah, I've been having to buy myself clothing recently b/c nothing fits me anymore. Last week I bought 3 shirts and 2 pairs of jeans, but then the jeans were too big on me (I thought they were my new size, but I guess I lost more weight since I established I was that size), so I had to exchange them for an even smaller size. I also bought a pair of workout pants yesterday (b/c the ones I was using are pretty much falling off of me now), and that was in a NORMAL store, not a PLUS SIZE store, and that was a first ever for me

The last thing I bought actually was this dress (the cheapest, decent looking party dress I could find for my university graduation party), earlier this year:

Now the last clothes I bought besides that were from about (if not over) a year ago, when the summer capris and tops from the previous season were on sale (I bought a lot with little money). Too bad this particular outfit isn't very visible, but the blouse is loose and ties around the back (has beautiful details), leaving it exposed. I love the jeans because they have pink seams and pink/silver sparkly butterflies on them (and cost the equivalent of less than 20 dollars):

Are those acid washed?

Nope.....I was just given 4 Totes full of maternity clothes from a friend of mine (in addition to my own) so I am fully stocked for awhile. Looking forward to buying some regular clothes in like a year....

Lastweek I bought 2 shirts, 2 skirts, and one supa-fine dress for just under $35.
