We all know I love a bargain...

So, my very good friend Thomas has just managed to pass out of the Navy! Well that sounds peculiar and perhaps I haven't said it right. He has completed training to become an officer in the Navy, and, as a super friend, I have been invited to be his guest for the passing out ball. Well, I think we all know I love a bargain, and with a strict dress code - dress only, length between mid calf and floor, no shoulders bare during dinner etc. I got planning and found:

Dress, never worn, eBay - £12.50

Shoes, Charity shop - £2
Cushion pads for shoes in case they hurt - free, already had them

Bag, Charity Shop - £1.50

Shawl, Free - the dress came and it was far too big so mum and I altered it. With the excess mum craftily made a shawl, meaning the colour was perfect and my shoulders won't be exposed

Earrings, Matalans - £3

Hair, 99p store - 99p. I think I'm going to have either a bumpit in, and a lot of hair pins or just a lot of hair pins.

So my whole outfit comes to a tidy £19.99! 




Goats cheese poached pear and Parma ham starter. The main was a type of served buffet, and the stew was tasty. 


Toms foolish trifle 

My incredible lemon meringue that we thought was cheesecake 

(Swap the paper for poker chips) 

Poker! We bowed out with a 4 grand win- those tables were awful busy! 

The whole night was incredibly fun and it was a super event to share with someone you are proud of. The dresses were gorgeous, the people were so friendly and the drinks were ridiculously cheap. The whole evening was a hit and I'm so glad I got to go!

Cropped Blazer from Topshop

This is a kind of cheating post. But I'm gona write it anyways. I've recently bought a couple things on eBay (posts to come), and so I thought about selling a couple of my things. I have successfully sold some shoes before so I wasn't too afraid to try. One of the pieces I am selling, I am really sad to see go. I love it, it is really nice, but I've worn it less than one handful of times and I think someone else could love it more.


For some reason I can't get the other photo's on here, it's been very frustrating. 
But take a look if you fancy it :)

#3 WantList

I don't have very much money at the moment, but I'm yearning for some new things. To combat this, I've only been looking on eBay! I saw someone wearing a really nice sequin hair piece the other day and decided that I would like one myself, so here are my favourites;



I've actually bought this one as it was about £1.40 with free delivery!




This one is my favourite but it's definitely something to work up to more than anything else!














I just bought this skirt too - £8 with delivery!


Lots of lovely things that I will be keeping my eyes on! Hope you've had a good weekend, have you done anything good?
