That's who I am, a fringe magnet. If I see fringing on anything I hyperventilate, look at the price tag and die a little. It seems most fringed items are on the expensive side. Well as you all know I am a serious bargain hunter/stingy bitch, so if you remember the white fringed scarf in my previous post, which by the way was bought 1 year ago at Cotton On for only $5, well, I thought that would be all the fringing I thought I could afford...until now. The other day I was walking home from work and saw a fringed black bag in one of the cheap-o stores on Swanston Street (7Angels I think) so I had to have a look. Turns out everything inside the store was s 20% off and the bag was only $16 now, so naturally I bought it. On my way out I spied an AMAZING black fringe vest sitting alone on a rack near the door and the best thing was it was only $20. Bargain with a capital B! However now I need to find a different route to walk home as I need to keep saving for Tokyo and not spending.
Oh and my necklace was only $3 at Carringtons Accessories, pretty amazing really as I have been looking for a giant cross for a while now, and the white t-shirt dress was also $3 at Dimmeys. People are always surprised by how cheap my clothes are, I guess I don't look like I only spend $3 on dresses (at least I hope not).
Girl you look amazing! I'm a fringe afficonado too and also impoverished so I'm very impressed with your finds!

I love all your buys.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly don't look cheap to me. Quite the opposite. x
lol, i'm a stingy bitch too! those are some amazing bargains, i'm impressed by the size of the bag especially for $16! xx
ReplyDeleteYour clothes definitely don't look cheap, my friend! People don't realize, (or maybe they just can't be) creative enough. If you look hard enough at cheap places and also add a creative touch, as well as mixing with newer stuff, you can make stuff look REALLY cool and expensive!
