A Buyer's Archive | June 2016
Friday, July 01, 2016A Buyer's Archive - keeping track of my spending on clothes and accessories with Elise.
To finish off last months Buyer's Archive post I wrote 'expect very few purchases in June.' I'm pleased to say I only made three purchases, two of which where necessary, one which I tried hard to justify as necessary but it's simply not true.
I bought these heels from New Look that I'd spied online for an upcoming wedding. I've already given them a trial run on an evening out and I'm glad to say they're really comfortable. They come in black too and I'm more than a little tempted!
I wore them with a Monsoon dress I won on ebay during my spending ban last year, a bargain at £8.50. This is the first chance I've had to wear it. I love how the shoes are barely there, making the outfit all about the dress.
Bardot top | ASOS | £18.00
Then I bought this off-the-shoulder top from ASOS. With the switch from my spring to summer capsule wardrobe coming up I wanted something else to wear with the trousers and skirts I have. This will work with practically everything.
And I bought some pants. Three pairs for a tenner.
Total spend for June £52.99
Total for 2016 so far £354.88

ooh I love those shoes, I fancy a black pair now too!
ReplyDeleteThey're very comfy and a great price!
DeleteThat monsoon dress is so gorgeous, forever jealous of your bargain! x
ReplyDeleteThanks. I think it'll be a piece that stays in my wardrobe for a good long while...
DeleteThose shoes are so me, I love the classic look and the dress you wore with them is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I think these shoes have a lot of mileage in them - in so glad they're comfy!
DeleteThose are so gorgeous! I love nudes but always worry about getting them dirty.

I've sprayed them with a heavy duty waterproof treatment, I'm hoping it'll make them easier to clean too. I'm off to a wedding on a farm so keep your fingers crossed for the safe return of my footwear!
DeleteI have to admit, I'm pretty tempted by those shoes. I've been searching for the perfect paid of suede/suedette light brown heels for literally years, since my previous New Look pair bit the dust. I love them for the exact reason you pinpoint - they fade into the background so that the focus is on the clothes. Also THANK YOU for not calling the colour 'nude', it's one of my bugbears; pale beige-brown is not universally nude!
ReplyDeleteVery true. I just don't like the term.
DeleteThey're very comfy, I wore them all day on Saturday and although my feet hurt the day after they were fine on the day.
You did well! These shoes are so nice!
ReplyDeletethanks Kezzie!
DeleteFab finds! that Monsoon dress looks incredible on you and the shoes go with it perfectly. xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Vix!
DeleteThose shoes are very pretty and I love your Monsoon dress as well - perfect cut and colour for the summer! - Tasha
ReplyDeleteThose shoes do not look comfortable! :O
ReplyDeleteI know they don't look it, but they're from New Look's comfort range, they have cushiony insoles and are a little wider (it seems).
DeleteI wore them from 11am and didn't take them off until gone mignight, having danced in them for a few hours too. My feet only hurt a tiny bit the next day. I was super impressed!
Thank you for taking the time to comment x
