Shopping attitudes

I don't really have a way of doing when shopping. In fact, I think I have two.

The first one: The more, the better.

Sometimes I bought as much as I'm able to. I love visiting flea markets, thrifting whatever I find for a few euros and mix-and-matching to get my best outfit. I enjoy sales, finding bargains and clearance racks. When I'm in this attitude, I end up purchasing many new items in a short period of time and for a (let's say) reasonable amount of money.

In this way I have collected amazing bags or skirts like this, all them which I adore, but I have also bought many other things I really don't die for, like this jacket I've never worn much. Of course I had a good time and I've managed to have a large wardrobe, so that's enough.

I paid 5 € for these shoes and they've been worn a couple of times.

The second one: Better quality than quantity.

Whenever I'm fed up with shopping 'rubish' and I realize I do not need anything (or I'll need a new house if I don't give up shopping), I just start with this second way, which consists of not buying much but certain garments which I consider basics or I know I'll use for ages. Just one delicious thing that I know I will enjoy. A not-so-cheap vintage dress. A wool black skirt that flatters me above all. A basic blouse which I`ll wear with everything. A couple of things for a long term. Sometimes they are expensive (others they are not), but I don't mind since I know they worth it. In this way, I usually spend less money (because I buy less stuff) and enjoy every garment as if it was the only one. 

That's the way I did when buying this skirt I wear here, here, here, here and whenever I don't know what to dress up. Other examples: my gym bag, the patent belt I'd wear everyday or that dress I'll never get rid of.

These are my favourite jeans. I don't really wear them often, 

just because I feel better in dresses/skirts. Some time ago I

  gave up owning 20 pairs of jeans to have just three: a pair of 

skinny,  a pair of black jeans and these by miss sixty whose 

original price was 145 € and I bought for 60 €. It was 

four years ago and I do know it was a good invest.

I really mix both attitudes when shopping... As soon as I have used one of them for long, I just need to change to the opposite. And of course, I find some terms of scrimping and saving absolutely necessary so as to love shopping and to feel it as a gift.

What about you and your shopping experience?

Wardrobe remixer

Oh! I found myself in here! 

:DDDDD

Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream...

Inspirated by the glamour queen here and adding a belt over the cardi in the way my favourite sisters usually do, I tried this colorblock outfit yesterday:

Cardi: blanco

Dress: dorothy perkins

Belt: primark

Weekend bag: primark

Wedges: local store

I was wearing this dress for the first time and I felt really good in it. It was my first purchase on dorothyperkins.com and it won't be my last for sure.

As for the weekend bag, it was bought the last time I visited Primark some months ago, since I'd been obsessed with that flower print so in the 80's style.

Primark must be visited any time every season, as there is always some amazing stuff to get. That day I bought some other things and took this picture later... Don't you love taking pics of your purchases? It's even better than dressing them up!!

A dress a day keeps the boredom away

It`s not a secret that I'm a dress lover. 

But you still don`t know the dress by Kira Plastinina I bought in NY.  I think it's real love...

It's second hand, it was about $20, and my mum calls it the Carrie dress, because it could have been worn by Carrie Bradsaw in SATC. It looks so much better 'in the flesh', but I've not found a chance to dress it up... and at the court they are not ready yet! :P

Born to be famous :P

I don't have many blogger-relationships, I don't comment much, I've never tried to be known in the blogosfere, I often enjoy being hidden while reading blogs. 

But in spite of that, I always like being featured.

Flight attendant

This week I'm wearing all the stuff I bought in NY, like the skirt and shoes from H&M or the I(L)NY tee. Today, a second hand dress. I do like it!

I've been told at work  that I look like a flight attendant, it may be because of the flags... :)

Nothing to declare. :)

Monday outfit

A new (busy) week ahead and a suitable outfit...

Laptop bag: misako

The skirt (which I adore) was bought in NY, where I managed to enter a shop with that gorgeous Trend line! Isn't it lovely?

New little treasure

Despite the fact that I have to study much so I should stay at home, yesterday I couldn't help going to the flea market as every Saturday morning.

And thank goodness, because I came across my new little treasure: This terrific bag, thrifted for 1 euro.

Summer colours

If in winter I dress up in black-white-red almost everyday; in summer I can't get rid of this navy colour combo! 

Top: pull&bear

Red skirt: etsy

Bag: asos

Shoes: local store 

Also, when the weather gets warmer, I can't get out of my harem pants and wear flat sandals everyday. In winter, though, I always wear skirt and heels...

Are there any differences between you winter and summer styles?

Last night a breakdown saved my life

Lately, every shop has its own mid-season sales. And I wonder... Will the financial breakdown save our wardrobe?? I don't know, but asos clearance is driving me crazy!

Let me show you MY FAVOURITE SKIRTS:

This is a needing:

I've just realized I do need a pink skirt:

And these skirts by Arrogant cat have caught me deeply in love:

Me? Superficial? Oh no! It's just that I have nothing to wear! ;)

Simple and neat

It's Monday again and I have an exhausting week ahead... 

Being so tired, I don't feel like outfitting much and that's all I could manage to dress up!

Dress: asos

Belt: came with a Primark dress

Bag: thrifted

Tights: women' secret

BCBG shoes: thrifted

Nothing else to add! Have a nice week. :)
