one for the mums: $40 clothing spree wheeeeee

With Spring well and truly here, in weather as well as season (last year I was wearing a sweater in early December), my current, pared-down, breastfeeding friendly wardrobe just wasn't cutting it. I fell in love with these great vintage style T's from Old Navy, which are a phenomenal price point as well as a perfect cut, but then sufferered devastation and despair when I saw the dreaded 'P' word (Polyester. Ew). Although they are only 53% polyester, and do contain cotton, I still think that blend might get out of hand in an Australian summer. I like to walk a lot and see no need to smell bad as a result. Joy of joys, then, when I spotted the T's in the left photo at Kmart. 100% cotton, $7! Hurray!


    
 
Kmart also came up trumps with the two scarves in the middle picture, which were $8 each. They have enlivened so many of my existing favourites. Finally, because I can't resist a brilliant bargain, the two 3/4 sleeve maternity T's at right were out of season and therefore reduced to $5 each. They are a style that is universally flattering and so easy to wear. To me, that makes them worth packing away for the next pregnancy, to avoid the oh-lordy-I-am-now-massively-huge expensive online impulse buy.
 
The $7 T's are available in a few more colour combinations and there are other great scarves in store.

one for the bubs: all natural blanket


This gorgeous cotton blanket is currently stocked by Kmart. It's delightfully unisex, classic and such a nice change from the ubiquitous determinedly cheerful prints. And it's only $10!

As an added bonus, I've noticed that my living room looks less messy if the baby gear strewn around has more natural tones! However if brights are more your thing, you can see that they have two other great striped options.
Happy shopping!

welcome to 'where can we find it'



Welcome and thanks for stopping by!

This blog is dedicated to finding, and sharing, the ideas, purchases, places and things that enable a beautiful and financially achievable life. I don't believe style has anything to do with riches, and nor do I believe that the everyday city or suburban life need be bland, tasteless or humdrum.

I am blessed to live in Sydney, Australia, and as such many posts may relate to local purchases and stores, but I will always link to available websites, and post a lot of universal content as well.

If you know the thrill of a reasonably priced, life-enhancing, beautiful purchase- or if you want to- join me and say hello when you can!

With anticipation
Gigi
