~Fab finds under $30 in Bugis Street~

I am a shopaholic.
I am also a bargain hunter. But I only buy clothes that are cheap yet don't look as cheap as they really are.

Visited Bugis today with my friend Jamie to search out the best buys there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are my purchases:

Sweet vest with polka dot lining
I like the lining.
Bargained price: $22.50



Denim vest with cute patterned lining
The lining makes the vest look more girlish.
Bargained price: $20


Abstract dress with studded sleeves
This dress looks like something that I can buy from shops like BYSI or Hypnosis.
Bargained price: $22.50
Bought it with the vest with polka dot lining @ 2 for $45.
Great Buy!!
Click here to see how I wear it.


This Navy jacket was something that I wanted long long time ago.
Finally found something that looks nice on me.
The cut and the stripes have a slimming effect on my body.
Bargained price: $25

Total cost of my purchases: $90
Wow!! First time I have a shopping trip with under $100.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here comes Jamie's purchases:


This adorable sweety dress has little stars printed on it.
Jamie didn't take a close up shot.
We were both dazzled by the stars. haha..
Price: $10 only!!!
And the fabric is soft and not the cheapo rough rough type.


This blouse is supposedly imported from Korea.
We love the frills in front.
Simple and sweet.
Price: $10 also!!!


Chiffon blouse in navy blue.
Bottom part is elastic.
Told Jamie to wear it with denim skirt and a long pendant necklace to give it a casual look.
Cos she scared it looks too office like that she won't wear it often.
Price: $15 only wor..
Actually, something like that would cost $30 to $40 in Iora or Bega.
So it is another great buy!


Casual shorts
The belt came with the shorts and it can easily cost about $10 elsewhere!
Bargained price: $25
At 1 low price, Jamie got 2 items. Best!


This pair of Americaya wedges were not from Bugis Street.
Jamie bought them in BHG.
It was on sale. Only $29.90.
They made Jamie's legs look longer and sexier.

Total cost of her purchases: $89.90
Yeay!! I helped my fren get great buys too.
So proud of myself. =)

The secret to finding bargains in Bugis Street is to walk through every alley.
Look through all the $10 even if you see ugly ones initially.
The nice ones are usually hidden away...
Perseverance will eventually reward.
