HAUL #001.

I have never posted a haul before so this is kind of weird because I'm not used to showing off my clothes and such. But my lovely friend from It's Happy Days (check her out! ♥) told me to stop being such a perfectionist so here goes! :)

When I was a kid I loved shopping. In my teen years, I hated it. Nothing fit right, nothing was affordable, nothing looked good on my chubby acne-laden body. (Or so I thought.) In the past year, I have become obsessed with clothes once again. It kind of started after I went through something emotionally draining. My first instinct was to reinvent my wardrobe and throw away anything that I had owned before. It was weirdly obsessive. I stopped myself throwing things out, but I did end up buying a shitload more. I meant to stop before last Christmas and post a big haul but I haven't been able to stop buying things yet. Oops? The only thing that slows me down is a lack of funds. ;)


Sportsgirl cotton knit / cream & red

Sportgirl cotton knit / limeI splurged on the red one last year and loved it so much that I had to buy another when I found them on sale. They do stretch really easily and even the smallest size (XXS) feels really large on me. They're supposed to be oversized but I have small arms so the sleeves swamp me. But I love them anyway. :)


BDG by Urban OutfittersThis is such a perfect shirt. It's soft and light and really comfortable. I wish I had ordered a smaller size because it's quite large but I love it nonetheless. I have been considering buying another one in a different design.


Converse neon chucksI have posted these before. They're so bright and lovely. I can't wait to wear them in Spring/Summer. But for now they're kind of chilling in my wardrobe...


Dotti Supertube JeansI love these! They're really thin, but not stretchy like leggings. The thin fabric makes them very comfortable and flattering, I think. I loved these so much that I bought a pair in black but they sucked! I got a smaller size than the blue ones and they're still too big! The black ones stretched a lot. I'm pretty disappointed with those, but I love the blue ones.

Zara jeggingsAfter my previous pair of blue jeans ripped (!!!!!! that's what I get for buying a discounted pair from Forever New !!!!!!) I was in the market for new ones. I was surprised by how cheap Zara jeans were - I thought they'd be a lot more. The pair I bought are marked 'jeggings' so they're pretty stretchy in a comfy way. I wondered if I should have tried a smaller size but with a belt, they're perfect. (And possibly less likely to rip again? LOL.)


ROC studded combat bootsI bought these in February after eyeing them for months. They were pretty hot to wear back then but now that the weather has cooled, they are perfect. They're 100% leather and since wearing them in, the leather has turned soft and smooth. Perfect.


Misano oxfordsI bought these for a job interview because I didn't have any flats. They're so cute! However they're not the best for walking long distances.


Forever New daisy earringsI love these! They're so cute. As soon as I saw them, I knew they were 'me'.


Collette bagThis bag is small and cute. It doesn't hold much but that's okay.


Cotton On dressI personally don't wear dresses very often. This one is light and airy, perfect for hot days.

Cotton On anorakI found this anorak at Cotton On. They were charging $60 which I thought was ridiculous considering the low-quality feel of it. There are loose threads in the pockets, etc. But I loved it and couldn't find anything similar that was cheap and not green (lol) so I gave in. I have worn it basically every day since so I think the splurge is justified. ;)


SES knit$10!!!! This was such a bargain. It's soft and comfy and a lovely colour. What's not to love?


Windsor Smith bootsI saved the best for last! These are my latest purchase and probably my favourite. I have had my eye on them for months but when I saw that they were part of the ongoing 25% off boots sale at Myer, I pounced. I love them so so so so much. I think they're a little classier than my combat boots and probably better for job interviews etc. I also think that since they are loose around the ankles, they'll be better to wear in summer.

Hope that wasn't too weird! :)
