MY CATS SAY MEOW: 2012 shopping wrap up

After buying the one Topshop top in Melbourne back in October, I managed to not buy anything until just recently, probably because I was too busy living life in the fast lane to shop. I nevertheless managed to list a few things on eBay which sold and I saved the proceeds for a rainy day so to speak.

Needless to say there were a few 'rainy days' in December and it bucketed down on Boxing Day...

Apart from the peachy pink top (which I have since returned because I decided that it was not perfect on me), I bought:

Kate Sylvester cotton sundress (eBay);
Country Road viscose tees in white and pale grey (using Spend 'n' Save voucher);
Camilla & Marc bird singlet (David Jones);
Veronika Maine striped silk tank;
Veronika Maine jade green silk tank;
Kachel polka dot shift dress (David Jones);
Nudie High Kais in dark blue organic denim (David Jones);
Seed soft blazer in marine blue (David Jones);
Country Road mid-heels in black and tan; and
Country Road ballet flats in jade green and blue (using Spend 'n' Save voucher).

When I put it this way (and I cheated even by placing the items which I bought in two colour ways in one row), it seems that I have bought a lot... Who am I kidding, I have bought a lot! I must say though that I am pretty pleased with almost everything. In a sick and twisted way I am *almost* looking forward to going back to work in a week's time, so that I can wear my shiny new things.

The striped tank is amazing on and the polka dot dress makes me look 5 kgs lighter - both winners!

Praying that the mid-heel shoes prove to be comfortable

By the way, I am shopping off a list now (with eBay proceeds only), and this pretty much ticks off all the items on my Summer wish list (with the exception of a few items which I'm still looking for) and one item off my replacement wish list (the jeans).

Looks like you have done very well in fattening up your closet haha. I like that you have been using eBay proceeds only, that's a good way to do it. I managed to go two whole weeks without buying anything which for me was huge, then it all went downhill from there when mum took me to a sale. I'm hoping to do better this year LOL. I love the ballet flats and that polka dot dress. Cute!

Great thought out purchases! They all look fab.
Good idea re the ebay money, its free right?

I am in the process of culling but have only made $50 so far. Oh well, better than nothing.

I too try and purchase things with money from ebay sales but I usually end up with only half covered from that. Still, better than nothing! Those midheels look like my high heels but I'm a heel-wimp :) Hope they work out.
