I just posted my haul for the month of May. It includes clothing, shoes and some hair products all of which I purchased very late April and throughout May. I do like to keep things unworn and stuff so when I haul them you haven't seen them yet but this month really got away from me and I wore a couple of the items before hauling for my birthday!
Anyway, here is the accompanying post with more information on each of the items hauled and some better quality pictures and stuff..
________________________________________________________________________
Katies Baroque Print Fit and Flare Dress
RRP : $50 Sale : $35
I went into Katies the day I bought this on a whim that they would have a nice cardigan or something for me for cheap. Instead I found this! This dress is a size 18 but it is super stretchy and I usually wear a size 22 up top so surprisingly this fit. The pattern is also very forgiving because it distracts from all of the lumps and bumps you perhaps are feeling self conscious about.
This dress also comes in plain black but I tried that on too and the cut is a little different whereby the waist sits much lower so it didn't flatter my body at all.
I realise the picture of me wearing it doesn't really show it effectively but the leather panels are super good at making you look cinched in at the waist.
All in all, a great purchase! Relatively cheap too, especially if you get it in the 30% off members sale which they have often!
Target Circle Skirt
$30
A plain black circle skirt. Nothing special really but it is a bit longer than I find most circle skirts and that really excited me because I often find they are too short for me to get away with. Pretty sure this is an item that stays in Target in their workwear essentials range. The waistband is also nice and thick and sits flat and snug, which means no awkward rolling moments when you sit down. Phew!
Autograph Silky Button Through Top
$15 Dani Mezza's Blog Sale
A dusty rose coloured silky top. Black trim and bronze coloured buttons. I am a little concerned about the straps because they are a little twisted in the back but hopefully not much of a hassle to fix! If you haven't checked out Dani Mezza's blog check it out here! She has clothing sales on her Facebook page frequently at the moment because she is moving house!

City Chic Vinyl Cut Out Circle Skirt
RRP : $69.95 Sale : $40
Something I picked up at the City Chic outlet while i was in Brisbane. It is in a size large so it sits much lower than I would like but I think I can make it work, if not I will either sell it off or have it altered to fit me.
I wanted this skirt for ages but I couldn't justify the $70 to get it, lets just sit here and celebrate the fact that City Chic have outlet stores for a second! Nothing beats going to the factory outlets knowing that there will actually be a store where you fit into things!
Unlike some other factory outlet centres! Theres nothing worse than going to the factory outlets with a bunch of slim friends knowing that you're not going to fit into anything while they go batshit crazy on clothes!
Katies Basic Top with Crochet Hem Cami
$25 in Buy One Get One 50% Off
Let me be really clear when I say that I only purchased this shirt for the cami! The crochet hem is to die for! Nothing about the shirt that the cami came with excites me though, just another black shirt to add to my collection of black shirts.
I would of payed the $25 just for the cami, if they didn't have the buy on get one 50% off I probably wouldn't of bought it at all though, $50 would of been a little steep!
Avella by Big W Extra Long Tights (Leggings)
$10 each
So I didn't photograph these for you.. No surprises there really, they're very basic black leggings! No details to show, I think we all know what leggings look like don't we. You could check out the video and look at my epic spelling failure of the video though.
Thats what happens when you edit videos when you're sick and tired I guess!
Kmart Oxfords
$15
A good, basic black shoe. Got these mostly for job interview purposes and because I am sick of wearing my slip ons to death! Thought these could be a good alternative! One downside to these, which I spoke about in the video was that the sole of this shoe is super smooth rubber and I am not sure how well that would go in terms of grip, being clumsy, I need as much grip on my shoes as I can get!
We will see how this goes, if I wear them and they're super slippery I will probably get rid of them because I probably wouldn't wear them again, maybe roughing them up on some concrete will help though!
Kmart Cable Knit Tights
$15 each
I just took a photo to show you the texture of these tights! I would highly recommend these for anyone, but especially those of you who like being super dooper comfortable! These are a size 18, which in Kmart terms is like a 14 (lets be honest), but these are super stretchy and I manage to get them on and still have stretch left in them!
They currently come in black and charcoal, I am quietly hoping they come out with some more colours throughout the winter! Fingers crossed!
BooHoo Wrap Skirt
$10
I remember when BooHoo became a thing in Australia during my first year of uni. There were advertisements on the TV all the time and billboards in nearly every train station in Sydney! Since they released a plus size range I have been super excited about trying some things but didn't really have the money.
When this skirt went on sale for $10 I snapped it up super fast! I was expecting something on the flimsy side in terms of quality but was really surprised with what I received. The fabric is actually pretty thick and it doesn't feel flimsy at all. I will hopefully make good use of this skirt in the job interview department and I know it can come with me when I move into the workforce!
Reality beat my expectations this time around!
Rubi Slip Ons
2 for $30
I didn't photograph these because if you read my blog regularly you should be pretty familiar with these shoes, they are worn more often than not and are definitely a staple in my wardrobe!
If you don't know what I am talking about, go through my OOTD's from last year when I was still at college and they are in pretty much every OOTD that has the shoes photographed!
I like these because unlike the usual flats they rise up a little more on my foot!
Gala Boots
RRP : ??? Sale : $40
Since I ruined my last two pairs of boots at work I decided it was probably time to get another pair of ankle boots. My main issue this winter is that a lot of the boots this season have pointy toes and too many zipper, buckles and accents.
This pair was the flattest, most plain pair I could find in my budget that weren't too pointy!
Hopefully they will stretch a little bit though, they're a tiny bit too snug at the moment.
Agadir Argan Oil
$13.95
I didn't photograph this item because basically its a spray bottle with Argan Oil in it for my hair.. So far, I am really liking it because compared to the Moroccan Oil curl creme I was using the spray is much, much lighter which means it isn't going as sticky and greasy looking as my hair was with the Moroccan Oil.
Also, free sachets of treatments! Can't go wrong!
Hi Lift X-Treme Waver
$54.95
I also didn't photograph this. If you are unsure about what this is you can go watch my video here! Or you can look up deep waver on any search engine and you will be inundated with images of what this is!
I can say that I have used it a couple of times now and although the learning curve is steep and at first I didn't like it, I have fallen in love with it now! Super natural looking waves are my kryptonite, and what this gives you is absolutely that!
Seriously, check them out! I have tried to stop using heat on my hair for hair health purposes but I cannot achieve the look that this waver gives my hair in a heat free way!

Anyway, I hope you have enjoyed this haul. Again, if you haven't watched it, you can watch it here!
I hope you all have had a wonderful day!
Happy Blogging my Lovelies xo
