Weekly Goals Update – 29 January 2012

Fashion

Yes, I went sale-shopping again!! As you might remember, my last haul was kind of a mini haul. So I went a few steps ahead this time!! Also, Cub stayed at home with his grandma, which made it a shopping-date kind of thing :-P.

Again, I made a detailed list and got most of the stuff in it, so I’d say it was a successful trip. I deviated from the list just once, and one item on the list wasn’t exactly what I envisioned it to be. Ok, enough of the preface, now I’ll show you what I got:

Plain white tunic from AND. I’ve wanted a plain one for so long, just plain white, no other colored details whatsoever. It’s really comfortable and is going to be of great use come summer.

Kurta with tribal print from W. This was not on the list. I got attracted to the print and then liked how it looked when I tried it on.

Floral Stole from Pantaloons. This is also something I’ve been looking for.

Red Sandals from Lifestyle. I actually wanted some Red shoes, preferably peeptoes. But these were really, really comfortable and I thought it might be silly to pass them up. I think I’ll get some good wear out of them, especially with my Indian outfits.

(Note: Still on the lookout for some glam red peeptoes)

Paddle Brush from Roots, Floral Hairband from Lifestyle, Star earrings from Pantaloons. Ok, I confess – the earrings were an impulse buy. But look, aren’t they too cute to resist?

And the deal of the day – Brown Bag/Satchel from AddOns. A brown bag was on my list and this was love at first sight. And it was marked down by 50%!! I love the little buckled pockets in front and the brass hardware.

While I was shopping, the hubs said he was bored (so what's new) and that he’d be right back. Soon he came with a packet in his hand. I looked inside and – voila!! A new digital camera!! I’ve been cribbing for a while that my blog photos weren’t turning out good and that it was high time we changed the old camera, blah blah blah. And now a brand new Sony Cybershot is going to change everything!!! We should go out together (alone) more often!! :-D

I didn’t click a pic of the camera, but here is one from the internet:

So, all in all, a great day!! I still had a few things I didn’t get – a striped Tshirt, White pants (thinking of Jeetendra?), a long sleeved black Tshirt etc. But then the shops aren’t going anywhere, right?!!!

Have you guys made the most of the sales? Have you picked up anything you’ve really been wanting for a while?
