Faster Than A Leopard
August 14, 2007 | Filed under Money, Style
I went shopping today with my aunt (conveniently skipping a lecture), and picked up:
A leopard-print smock dress of 100% silk (Bardot brand). Originally priced at $119, I bought it for $15AUD. I’m actually surprised it fits as well it does – after all, people with large chests generally shouldn’t wear semi-high-necked tops (high waisted pants aside, the top itself is horrendous).
A pair of black 100% leather (synthetic sole) ankle boots (Tony Bianco brand). Originally priced at $120, I bought them for $25AUD.
…this is so full of sex. See Sophie Hextor, this is how you dress yourself in clothing made of quality fabrics without having to spend $2000.

Is that Jessica Simpson? She looks like a right dickhead.
How the hell do women find these discounts? My nextdoor neighbour just bought a $420 top (how any top is $420 is beyond me) for $60!

How do you DO that? It’s almost frightening on its own, and not to mention two at a time! You’re the devil, Amanda.

Those high waisted pants you linked to looks freaking comfortable though.

I’m not really a fan of animal-print, but why shouldn’t large-chested women wear semi-high necklines?

I wish there was an edit option, but I guess I’m trying to say, should we wear high necklines or low-ones? Because I’m not comfortable with the latter. But I’m just curious.
Reply: If you wear super-high ones, it just bunches your boobs together and gives you the “huge one pillow-like boob” syndrome, rather than “two well-defined separate boobs”. You don’t have to wear super-low necklines, but I would recommend at least four-five inches of bare skin from your neck down.

I wish I could find those discount shops here in San Jose. :( I love the style of the first dress, though I’m not really a leopard-print fan.

Psht. I wear high necked tops all the time. In fact, turtlenecks own my soul and I couldn’t give two flying farts in space if they’re not fashionable. They’re comfortable and keep me warm.

Boo, I can’t seem to find any great discounts, ever. Also, I’d kill for those boots! Not too crazy about the leopard print, though…

I usually hate animal print, but that dress looks great on you!

wow, Jessica Simpson looks horrible! Those pants looks like she wore them backwards.
And great deals! I could never pull off prints or boots..you look awesome.

I would never ever pick out anything that has the print of the dress you bought but I guess that’s just a matter of taste (and it’s a good thing we don’t all like the same things right?!)
The boots on the other hand (or should I say foot) are cute :D

*steals the boots* I wish I could find something like that here *sulks*
Heh the dress would never fit me… well not unless I manage to finally lose those 10kg :P

You are such a good bargain-hunter! And that’s a cute dress!
