Clothing Learnings and May Purchases

Unfortunately I am already way over my superficial (i.e. clothing) budget for this year. However, I am proud to say I have curbed the impulse purchases - oh with one exception. I was given a $20 voucher from Witchery and as the expiry date loomed, I lost all common sense with my goal to purchase something for "free". So traipse to Witchery I did and in all excitement, I purchased a gorgeous silk blouse for a measly $40 (after I used the voucher) and without trying it on.

I got home, flung it on and alas, I looked like a sickly bananas in pajamas with gigantor arms. The worse thing? I couldn't return/exchange it because it was on sale.

Shopping noob mistake #1. Always try on the clothes, or make sure the store has a good refunds/exchange policy.

So although the $20 was fantastic, I am left with a blouse I cannot wear and a $40 I will never get back. I think I'm going to attempt to hack the gigantor sleeves and do some magic on the sewing machine. Fingers crossed.

In other superficial news, May was rather a splendid month, I finally realised a life long dream - I went to the NKOTBSB concert! I know Nick Carter is looking rather rough, but seeing him on stage in his tighty-whities and flashing his chunky thighs still got me excited.

Also, I purchased this Trelise Cooper skirt - My skirt collection requires major colour injection and I think this fits the bill.
