Bargain hunter

yellow checked=

Such a long time since my last post, uh?

Well, it was a national long weekend holiday in Belgium and the first days of sun and warmth since March I was soooo busy that I didn’t have the time to put a post together, forgive me :(

Anyway, I’m writing because I’m like a kid. I get superexcited when I get a new toy so I have to show everyone. In my case toys are great bargains. I will never tell you enough how much I love to spend just a few euros for great clothes.

And since I’m so superexcited for the first time in the history of this blog you will se me! Full figure! OH MY GOD!

In the first pic you can see my first bargain. That wonderful skirt that is like:

Isn’t it??

You can’t see the fabric very well from the photo but it’s sheer and soft, you can almost see the lining underneath

I saw it on Saturday in this vintage shop in Gent (Think Twice, it has stores also in Antwerp and Holland), Tommy said it looked like a giant meringue (how nice) so I didn’t buy it. But I’ve been thinking about it since then so today I got back, it was 30% off (30% off happy hour. I’m a lucky b***h) I tried it without my jeans underneath (guess they were the cause of the giant meringue effect. So smart, Al) and bam! Mine! 6 euros! I love it!!

And the second bargain is… The famous maxi skirt! Remember?

I’m soooo happy! It’s exactly what I wanted, it’s in a fabric that falls down perfectly (that’s not the best pose to show you, I admit it, but I almost killed myself down the stairs at my back to take this photo ahah)… It looks like a heavy viscose but mos probably it’s synthetic. I mean, it was 8 euros (bought in the same vintage store), it must be synthetic.
But who cares, I love it!

Oh and forgive the pic: I just got back home and I totally forgot to do my make-up before taking it.
And I have no hairstyle whatsoever (my fringe is getting longer than the skirt, guess it’s time to give it a cut).
And that’s the stupid face I do when I take pics.
Oh and forgive my legs in the first pic, too: it’s the first time they get out of trousers and tights since last spring so they’re really too white, purple-ish I’d say?
But, as I said before, who cares: I love these skirts!
And I so wanted to show you :-)

So tell me: I’m a good bargain hunter, am I not? ;D

Of course if you hate them you can say it. As every kid when you say something bad about its toys I’ll cry a bit, but it’s OK ;)

Kisses!!

Al

    Adoro sopratutto la prima gonna..e ti invidio sai? Io non credo che riuscirei ad indossarla, non chiedermi perché, ma ho la netta sensazione che la farei finire in fondo all’armadio e che non riuscirei a vederla addosso a me!

    • Al says:

      Guarda, anche io ho avuto seri dubbi prima di comprarla, ma c’era quel non so che che mi ispirava e poi costava 6 euro… ho pensato anche se non me la metto pace! Poi a casa l’ho provata con quella maglietta semplicissima e le ballerine e devo dire che fa la sua figura… Appena fa un po’ più calduccino vediamo se la metto o no per davvero ;D
      bacio

    Mi hai fatto venire voglia di gonne lunghe.
    E non c’erano riusciti due anni di sartorialist, per dire, eh.

    (e quoto Bai, sei in formissima!)

    Bonjour, mi appresto ad andare all’ultima lezione della mia vita (o forse è più realistico dire ‘di questo ciclo di studi’ che il domani è una grande incognita)

    :*

    • Al says:

      Ma perchè io nella foto sono alla cazzo, sicchè te pensi “se se la mette lei, me la metto anche io!” invece su sartorialist sono tutte fighe, a uno gli passa la voglia XD

      Che meraviglia l’ultima lezione, l’ultimo esame, l’ultima tesi… poi inizi il dottorato e ti accorgi che era meglio rimanere studente ahah! No via, senno’ te la faccio prendere male…

      bacioooo

    oh myyyyy, I can’t believe my own eyes! and how supercute you are. seriously Al, don’t be shy, stop saying you’re not ‘this’ or ‘that’ enough to show in your blog, cause you look absolutely adorable – jeans shirt, long black skirt and white converse – how good is that?! also love the yellow skirt with those cute pumps. (and all this for a bargain? makes me feel bad as i don’t even try to find a good bargain. i’d rather end up buying expensive then hiding the stuff from alex – and my own guilty-feeling conscious – in the closet. and seriously, i’m not proud of that.) i hope that this first step out, full size from head to toe, was not your last, Al. if there was anything to improve your blog (IF there was anything) – this is it. :) xoxoxo

    • Al says:

      ahah you know I wanted to tweet you immediately after my post to tell you “you can’t believe what happened! A picture of me on my blog!” XD
      I probably found the courage thanks to my weight loss, I feel like I’m me again, after 2 years… It’s insane, I’ll probably write a post about it.
      Maybe I’ll post more pictures of me but I don’t know, and not that often anyway since I really hate to take pictures of myself :D

      As for the bargains… Well, if I had the money I’ll surely buy only expensive stuff too (I don’t have much time to go shopping lately, unluckily, so I tend to buy a lot online) but lately I’m so poor (seriously!) that this is the only thing I can afford ahah. But I’ve always loved bargain hunting (my mother is my teacher, but she’s such a master! I’ll never be like her)
      We should definitely do some bargain hunting together if and when we meet ;)

      kiss kiss

    Buongiorno cara! ieri sera ho visto il tuo tweet da bb ma da lì non riesco a vedere bene i blog e cosi ho trepidato tutta notte in attesa di leggerti e vederti!!! :-D
    Complimenti per gli affari, sei mitica!!! ma come fai? io ho il fiuto esattamente contrario…mettimi in un negozio ed io ti afferrerò, senza guardare l’etichetta, il prodotto a prezzo piu alto. SGRUNT.
    Mi piace moltissimo la gonna giallina, per le sue pieghette regolari ed il colore giallo pallido. Fra l’altro penso si sposi bene con la tua carnagione chiara sai? Sembra ancora piu eterea.
    E mi piace molto anche la gonna nera luuuunga! E’ molto molto simile a quella benetton di cui ti parlavo…peccato ci siano queste 40 euro di differenza! ;-)
    Complimenti! E poi finalmente ti vedo! anche se vederti è un pò un eufemismo! la prossima volta a viso scoperto del tutto!!!! Un bacio e buona giornata (qui clima belgico.. ;-) msbx

    • Al says:

      Grazieeee!!!! Sono contenta che di piacciano!
      Guarda, di solito spendo tanto anche io perchè faccio un po’ come te pero’ a volte trovo queste perle (soprattutto in momenti di “povertà” come questo, sigh!)
      Da Benetton ci sono stata sai, ma non l’ho trovata qui a Gent. Pero’ quando vado in Italia ci riguardo di sicuro primo perchè da benetton trovo sempre un sacco di cose e secondo perchè le ho viste sul catalogo e sembrano belle! Grazie mille per la dritta ;)
      Credimi, vedere una foto mia è un evento più unico che raro (questa è tipo la seconda in quasi due anni di blog ahah) ma spero che prima o poi ricapiti l’occasione (odio farmi le foto!)
      bacione :***
