buy a new wardrobe!

i believe i am complete.

bought a tan-brown, leather sandals (with a gorgeous heel) for $39.99.

AND… (drum roll please)... i found the handbags i wanted! of all places… ‘Bentleys’!

there i was, running around looking at all different places… Winner’s, Payless Shoes, other trendy shoe stores, H&M’s… all expensive for those that i loved, and affordable but ugly (and cheap looking).

then i realized i hadn’t gone into Bentley’s. the luggage and bag place that is affordable, always having some special going on.

so… i got a faux, black leather handbag big enough to fit all my stuff, with two pockets on the front. very cute. great stitches to accent it (cream-colour stitch). and magnet-buttons. love it.

only $24.99.

to top it off, i found a really cute handbag for casual wear. it’s got a large wooden ring for the handle. the inside is brown lining that is shown through the crotchet, beaded exterior. love the beads!

only… $11 and change!

the brown, casual handbag is not the best one. i’ve seen funkier ones that are more daring but more expensive. however, for $11, i doubt i could wrong. plus – it’s adorable.

ahh… another thing i can check off my list!

first of all… i lied. i could do with one more fashionable sandals for work and evening out. something on the dark tan-brown colour. but haven’t found one with a price tag that i would like.

secondly, i need a couple of handbags. and while i’ve found some styles that would go well with jeans for the weekend, i’m upset with the fashion trend this year for more dressy/work-type handbags.

if i like the style, it’s too small. and i know i need something big enough to fit all my stuff. if it’s too big, the style is usually ugly. for the most part, i don’t like any of the styles this year.

and the prices aren’t as appealing as well.

so i will continue to hunt for that perfect handbag – one that will last me at least for a couple of years.

i bought myself an entire wardrobe of jewellery to accessorize my new, spring/summer wardrobe. am happy!

the dangles and beads and colours… silver, earthy tone and bright colours (like lime green!) i think that’s what’s great about being a girl and being all girly. it’s stuff like this that makes it worthwhile!

also bought two pairs of sandles. one leather black with a bit of of a heel. and another i a thong… with cork-heels as it’s the latest trend now – this one being more for casual wear.

and i bought a black, flat thong with black beads embellishing it. more for just patio-wear.

i’m set for food wear, i think, as i have still, plenty of footwear from last summer.

one more thing to buy… a cuople of purses/handbags.

i’ve been a mother for over two years now. and in the duration of these past two years, aside from a couple of jeans and t-shirts, i never got a new wardrobe.

how sad is that.

so with the beautiful weather we’ve been having, i figured it was about time for a ‘shy’ make-over.

and a shopping we will go…

so far, i’ve bought three capri and/or crop pants all very suitable for the office. i also bought a series of short sleeved and 3-quarter sleeved tops. all of them suitabe for work as well… with a couple of them able to be transformed for weekend wear.

i bought a long, lime green skirt (one of my fave colours) to go with a new, light-weight, black material, button-down shirt.

for the weekend, i bough a long, dark, jean skirt that flairs out at the bottom. and also long, dark, jean capri’s (cuffed at the buttom, just the way i like it).

and now… for the accessories…
