OOTD - H&M groupie for life

On my second trip to South Korea at the end of 2010 I discovered what just maybe heaven on Earth *cue choir of angels*...... H&M!!!!!!!!! OMG how much to I love this place!! The clothes are to die for and the prices are reasonable (ish). But what I think I love most is specifically the H&M in South Korea is the sales! I'm not sure about other countries but the sales in South Korea are awesome especially when you convert the price into Aus dollars!!! I went to H&M everyday religiously when I was there, you know it's good when they have two H&M stores literally 100 meters away from each other in the same shopping district (Myeong-dong) and it's constantly packed. I checked out other places like Forever 21 and Zara but nothing beat H&M for me, the clothes are exactly my style. I kinda regret not buying more things while I was over in Seoul because there were a lot of things that I loved but I was stingy and only went for the sale items.... So enough with the H&M fan-girling because anymore would just make me depressed that we don't have one in Aus :( 

My outfit of the day featuring my H&M black and white blazer, which I recently found out Rihanna wore in her "What's My Name" music video! Now I just need the red hair a la Ronald McDonald ( I would seriously consider it if I could).......

OOTD

Got this blazer for half price at the thrift store, only $8.99!! Although it's a size 16, it fits well when belted or even left as is -it sorta looks like an oversized dress.The lady there was giving me the weirdest look when I wanted to try it on like "WTF is she doing with ginormous blazer!" but she just couldn't see my vision (which was going no pants!! ahahahaha). The thing about thrift stores are that the sizes are generally a bit big (well the places I go anyway) so I always just belt everything at the waist so I don't look like I'm wearing a super stylish sack... beggars can't be choosers when it comes to thrifting, you just have to just make do.

OOTD - apologies to the girl with the green hair

Been absolutely obsessed with thrifting lately, I just can't get enough! I go just about every weekend because I'm afraid that I'll miss out on a treasure and someone else might get their grubby fingers on it ahahaha. I picked up this leather jacket for along with another one for an absolute bargain for real leather. I had the two in my hands and was tossing up which one I should get, a girl with green hair was eyeing them in my arms waiting for me to put them down so I had to get them both! I mean if some one else wants it, it means that it's awesome right??!! I know, I know I'm a greedy hoarder but I can't help it. I'm always frantic when I go into thrift shops, going through racks as quickly as possible and looking out for competition (other shoppers) ahahaha I'm a maniac! So to the girl with the green hair, I'm truly sorry..... but it's a jungle out there..... 
The yellow polka dotted top was one of my very first thrifted items and I have been hooked ever since.

OOTD - Hobo Chic, whole outfit for under $100

I bought this oversized knit for $15 at a Supre clearance warehouse, it was such a bargain that I had to buy another one in black! Got the hat on sale at Sportsgirl for $4.95 and the shoes were on sale for $24 at Target. 

A lot of people think that I spend a lot of money on clothes and accessories but in reality I don't spend that much. While it's true that I have a decent size wardrobe, I hardly ever buy anything full retail price and always wait for sales. 
Experimented with short hair today :)
