You guys might be wondering how my clothing purchase been going lately. It's good. Now, I feel like I have a new look in my wardrobe. I don't have much winter sweaters but they are pretty versatile. I need a few more things such as a few thin sweaters so I can layer it with something and I would like to have a few jackets. Maybe a blazer too... And a pair of comfty shoes, either black or brown. Not sure yet.

Anyways, I'm not going to shop for all of these things at the same time. I have school to think about too and my challenge money.

How would I describe my new look? Quite clean actually. LOL! Well, I dress in rich colors such a brown, black, dark green,dark and pale blue and bright red which give me a confidence look. I borrow two sweaters from my cousin so I can wear it next week. I'm totally addicted with finding a new look. When I look into my closet, I feel like there's something to wear everyday. =P

I'm going to try to find time to take pictures of my look around November. I hope I won't be too busy by then.

I just notice something about me while looking at other girls around my age today. I never really dress fashionable and trendy like them.

I was wearing my green 3/4 sleeve jacket match with a black top, with a pair of dark wash jeans with white sneakers. Not a good combo but I didn't want to walk in heels today. I feel pretty different from them. My clothes are nothing trendy. Just classic things that really suit me. I like the feeling of being different from others.

I spent almost half of it. You guys might expect me to have a lot of clothes by now but not much... I have a sweater(39.31$), two coats (chic and casual ones (200.92$), a stripe soft scarf(34,18$), a pair of chic boots with spray and brush (199.40$), a mid-lenght black skirt(on sale: 34.18$) and a chic bag (with my friend 50% rebate (28.48$))

In total, I have spent 536.47$. I'm feeling the shock here. I feel the same way too but I bought those things because it's classic style. It's a nice change from my old style.

I would like to explain my situation to you as of why I spend that much in two days. Well... you see. Some of you may be imagining me in trendy clothes but to be honest, I'm far from being in fashion. I don't fit into the trend today and I never have. I don't follow it and I always buy clothes that are cheap. It's also the reason why my clothes get into waste, because they don't last very long or I get tired of them because it doesn't fit me well. Even my friends said that I'm not a follower type and I buy what I like. If you compare me with other girls, I look outdated lol.

Recently,I've been changing my style for a more casual look. I feel and look good in the two sweaters that I found in my mom's closet and I look through my clothes. I notice that I like those with classic look. They are more versatile and I never seem to get tired of it. The ones that are really trendy and flashy (I have some), it seems that I'm having a hard time matching it up or I don't like it anymore. That's why I want to buy classic nice quality items.

None of my clothes follow the trend right now except the pea coat which is more toward classic style than trendy. The sweater that I bought is a stripe kind, it fits my body type and I love how I look. More mature and I can wear it with a pair of jeans, a black skirt and bubble skirt and a pair of black pants. Quite versatile and the colors is indigo and grey. My casual coat is green military style, it looks so nice on me. I look stylish with it and it match with my casual clothes. The stripe scarf, I love it! I can match it with a black sweater or with my pea coat. It looks so nice and it's not the one that is trendy today. My cousin said that she likes how the stripe is in diagonal shape. The boots, it looks really stylish and sexy looking that I can wear it with a skirt or shorts.It's not the boots that everybody is wearing right now tuck in their jeans. The mid-lenght skirt, it looks good with my boots and I can wear it in the summer when I go to Morocco and Spain. The chic black bag is when I go out to any special occasions. It's really nice and I got it at Globo. The brand is United Benetton and the regular price is 49.99$ + tax. I saved around 25$!! Yes =P !

I hope you guys understand ^.^'. I'm trying to be more careful with my clothing purchases and avoiding trendy clothes. I'm also an X-Small and Small size now. I choose to buy clothes that are form fitting because it shows my curve that I recently acquire since I left high school. Although I feel uncomfortable that I'm attracting guys in college now which is quite distracting sometimes.

I went to Winners and La vie en Rose today.

I wanted to go directly to Winners first before stopping at other outlet shops but I had to stop by La vie en Rose first because I was interested in looking at bikinis.

Speaking of bikini, I don't own any because I was quite conservatist before and I didn't think two pieces look good on. Well it looks alright on me. I bought two blue pieces bathing suit and it cost me 18.78$ and a tankini top piece for 20.96$ plus tax. In total, I spent 48.64$ which will go out in my clothing + room fixing budget. I spent about an hour and a half trying the bathing suits on and making sure that I really like them to buy it. They are cheap but I expect them to last long enought. I think the sale lady didn't like me much because I took too much time compare to other people. Ah well.

Clothing + room fixing budget :

Initial amount : 1000$
Amount deducted : (round it up) 49$
Amount left : 951$

I decided to use the 1000$ for clothes and other things. I think the same way as Luna do about spending on expensive (or not) classic items. I'm going to patiently shop and I already made a list of what I need to buy. I'm not a shopaholic and I don't go shopping every week but I get unsatisfied with my clothes easily. So yeah. I'm going to try to plan carefully and solve my problems once and for all. I'm going to find thrift stores in Montreal when I have time. Around where I live, there's not a lot of good ones and the clothes are so disorganized.

About the clothes that I just found and the two tank tops (Classic type of tank tope) that I just bough last week which cost me 15$ for two (black and white), I'm going to take pictures of them when I have the time and when I find my dad's camera located somewhere in the house.

I was looking for my favourite black tank top at home. I thought my mom took it so I went to her closet to find it and there was so much clothes that I had a hard time looking through it all. In her closet,I found two nice sweaters that still have tags on it.

I remembered a few years ago, my mom used to yell at me because I buy too much clothes... Geez, compare to my clothes to hers, it's like nothing... She hardly wear all these clothes! Sometimes, I don't quite understand my mom and her thinking, although, I knew somehow that she is pretty bored in her life and she needs something to entertain herself which is, shopping. Ah well... The clothes that she bought, there's bound to be something that I like =P !

I'm going to find my digital camera and I'm going to take the pictures of the two sweaters that I just found in my mom's closet.

Let me look at the amount I saved on those two sweaters ! ^.^'

17.99$ + 19.99$ = 37.98$

Round it up ~ 38$

I'm going to take it out of my clothes allowance.

231$ - 38$ = 193$

I'm going to put it in my challenge money :

410 + 38$ = 448$
