Buy One, Get One 50% Off (Full Priced Styles Only) 2

So continuing on from my previous post, $600.00 - $700.00 is a lot of money especially when a) you don't really need new clothes and b) there is very little in the kitty and it will take several months until I can start saving again.

There are three outfits - black lace, blue dress and the white look. I have a voucher for $125.00 (vouchers can only be used on full priced items), and I have calculated the three outfits using the voucher. As much as I like all three, common sense is asserting itself and I need to have a good, hard think and select one. But which to choose?

1. I like the  Black Lace and Florals because it looked stunning, but ask myself - how often will I get to wear it?
2. I like the  Blue Summer Shrug  too and I would get more use out of this than I would the first option, the black shrug  can be used with a number of other dresses and outfits.
3. The third option  White and Silver  looks so very clean, pristine and pure and is a new departure from the colours I would normally wear, but how often does one wear white?
4. I am leaning toward the first option - Black Lace. This outfit would be worn with the Gorg Tunic in fuschia and black cropped leggings. I have a pair of dressy black leather sandals (brought for a wedding).


Option 1 - Black Lace and Florals

Above: ROXANNE CARDI and ETERNAL ROMANCE TUNIC

$149.95 + $69.97 = $219.92 less $125.00 = $94.92



Option 2 - Blue Summer Shrug

Above: PALM FROND MAXI DRESS and EYELET MESH SHRUG

$129.95 + $44.97 = $174.92 less $125.00 = $49.92



Option 3 - White and Silver

Above: MILLENNIUM TOP and GOING PLATINUM TANK

$119.95 + $44.97 = $164.92 less $125.00 = $39.92



Accessories - Jewellery Jive
Out of the three pieces here, I like the first two best. I did like the third but when I saw it instore, I had second thoughts. If I purchase it, it would only be because it is 50% off.

Summer Favourite

This is one of my favourite summer outfits. I'm wearing the Coco Bananas Tunic with Easy Breezy Crop Leggings in white - jewellery is the Curly Whirl Necklace and a Cath Kidston resin bracelet. Teva Tirra sandals complete the look. Items are from Taking Shape except for the bracelet and sandals. This is one of the outfits I'll be taking on my trip to Japan next month sans jewellery.

The tunic top has a side drop hemline, front pockets and a front seam drawstring for personal styling. I wear mine with the drawstring pulled a little to give a wrinkle effect and raise the centre front hemline for interest. Drawstring loop is tied in a loose knot. Fabric is a crushed knit with stretch for a comfortable fit. The top doesn't flare out, I'm just holding it. The photo below shows the top falling naturally.

Below are close-ups of the jewellery.
