clothing haul: jun 22/10

it was raining cats and dogs this afternoon so my family decided why not go to the mall seeing as everyone was home. i made purchases at four main stores: american eagle, ardene, bluenotes and stitches. my dad helped me out with my purchase at ae but i bought everything else on my own. i'm trying to save money this summer for the fall so i was being as money conscious as i possibly could today and with positive results :D

for a very long time now i've wanted to get a small purse for just money and maybe a tiny lipgloss for when i go out with friends to lunch or for walking around with. something cute with a long strap that i could swing across myself. luckily today at ardene they were having a 2 for $20 sale on all of their handbags. i bought these two lovelies and am completely in love with them!







i recently saw a friend of mine wearing a really cute, simple white bikini with flowers on it and thought, that is so cute! nothing crazy or complicated. just a white bikini with a simple flower print for a little something extra. since then i've been keeping my eye out for something similar because i've never really owned a swimsuit that i was head over heels in love with ... UNTIL NOW! i found pretty much the exact same bikini at bluenotes today for around $14 tax included! i am so happy with this purchase and cannot wait until i can show it off at the beach this summer!



i don't usually shop at american eagle because we didn't have one in town until recently. now that there is one so close, i feel the need to pop in their every so often to check out what they've got. i wasn't planning on buying anything today but by surprise i found this amazing jacket hidden in the sale rack. it was on sale for 20% off of the already marked down price! my dad bought me this, which i am very grateful for :)



my last purchase was from stitches. i don't remember the last time i bought something from stitches to be completely honest. i used to be in love with it when i was a lot younger, like ... grade 9? something like that. today however i found this lovely dress for around $17. they were having a sale which was something like buy one get another for a penny. i got this dress and my sister picked something up as well.



overall, today was an amazing clothing haul. i haven't done any serious shopping in a very long time. i won't be going again for a long time. i think i'm fine with that though ;)
