To follow up on my previous entry, A word about words: July, I’ve now created a new Wordle for the past month! It’s significantly different…But I might just do it again next month because comparisons are FUN!

Yesterday, I met up with Amanda again! We planned an excursion to the local shopping centre and to then check out a few wholesale outlets. It was a day of fun, strange antics, and the odd bit of singing. It was a great success in terms of bargains scored as well! See below for more details 
Two Fine Lines bras (beige & black) for $12.50 each! Originally $44.95.
One men’s hoodie (for bumming around the house in comfort) for $10! Originally $30.
One JAG pendant necklace for $8.70! Originally $34.95
One pair of Nude Footwear heels, which are incredibly comfy and feature a lace up velvet bow. They were $49.50! Originally $149.95.
We took advantage of a promotion the shopping centre was running, and scored free manicures thanks to Priceline! I got mine painted black…Fierce!
A few weeks ago, i bought a pair of cheap Gladiator sandals from Rubi Shoes and scored a $20 voucher to use. At the centre we were at, they had Rubi shoes combined with Cotton on for added convenience. I’d had my eye on a copied pair of these Chloé shoe boots in cream, but as they’d been reduced to $25 from $49.95, I couldn’t use my voucher on them. I grabbed a thin white cardigan instead for $19.95, then the sales assistant told me they had an offer for 2 for $20! So, shoe boots for $25 plus two free cardigans!
So that was the end of the shopping centre buys. After a quick stopover at McDonalds for an energy boost, we popped over to Ikea where I grabbed a soft black blanket for my bed. It’s still a bit cold at this time of year! It cost $8.95 and wasn’t on sale.
We made our way to the Bardot factory outlet…It was wonderful.
I got myself a black silk mini skirt for $10! Originally $79.95
A grey-ish dip dye singlet for $20! Originally $59.95
A cream ruffled jacket for $30! Originally $99.95. Also, note the two white dots on the right of the picture…That was the cat being his strange self.
A pair of black leather skinny pants (to be fierce with my nails) for $100! Originally $249.95
These are pictured above with the cream shoe boots.
Lastly, we came across the warehouse sale for Sass where I discovered a little lace top for $5 and a little black lace shift dress, also for $5. They didn’t have their original prices so I have no way of knowing what I saved
So, if we added up everything but the Sass clothes, I spent a total of $287.15. So, I guess I won’t go shopping for a while…On the other hand, if I had bought everything at full price I would have spent $893.40! I like my discounts much more.

It’s the 1st of September today! Do you know what that means? Do you? Do you? Really?
Yes, it’s SPRING TIME!
Sun, warmth, flowers, bees, delightful smells, skirts, shorts, sandals, birds singing, hair bleaching, improved mental health, fields of daisies, sheep roaming green grassy paddocks, the beach, warm nights, evening walks, bike riding, swimming, malting cat furs, sunglasses, picnics in parks, ducks to be fed, 20th birthdays to be had!
Yes, it’s my favourite time of year. What’s yours?
