Saving whilst spending – the new black

By on 24

I am a busy bee at the moment with work being utterly crazy, Europe plans and savings well under way but most excitedly my business is taking two major steps forward. I have just contracted a major marketing company to start assisting me with that aspect of the business and am also about to have some meetings with advertisers to sell marketing space on the site – exciting/nerve wracking all at the same time. In light of my new steps forward though, it means I have to be extra careful with my spending at the moment which was terrible news for the Anna who loves online shopping a little too much. In light of needing to tighten the purse strings to pay for aforementioned new business projects I have been doing some bargain hunting online and thought I’d share with you some recent purchases I got for a steal! Because after all, a girl can’t give up everything she enjoys in life right? (I’ll share the links & prices of everything at the bottom of the post!)
[ COTTON VEST: Purchased this as I crushed hard my fur vest in Winter and thought why not translate that to a Spring trend with a cute cotton vest in warmer months? ]
[ FLORAL TOP: So I am excited for Springs trends of bright colours / staple whites / bold patterns – but I couldn’t go past this cute floral top that I want to pair with chunky accessories and my own pair of denim shorts for Spring ]
[ SLEEVELESS SHIRT: I’m crushing the sheerness of some tops at the moment and this one was no exception – plus I wanted to add some navy to my wardrobe ]
[ BOYFRIEND SHIRT – because we all know I loved bf shirts this passed Winter. I first wrote about them  here, and so when I saw this gorgeous mint green one I couldn’t resist. Pairing this with a pair of denim mini’s some statement necklaces and bangles & a cute not at the front ]
[ MAXI DRESS – Because it was Erin Louise and it was on sale .. do I need to say anything else? ]
[ DETAILED DRESS: I am expanding my work wear wardrobe to include much more dresses – this will have to have a shirt underneath but I loved it at first site. It came today and it’s even better in real life! ]
[ BLACK HEELS – My new staple heel for running the halls in parliament ]

    Congratulations on your happy business news and what sounds like a sweet European adventure you’ve got on the horizon there, Anna! What kind of business do you own? I just love meeting young, motivated women who are boldly chasing after their dreams. You are now one of these women. πŸ™‚

    Thanks girls!! They’re my new favs in my wardrobe πŸ™‚

    @TinyDancer – I just went and had a look online for you for a fur vest as I bought one a few weeks ago from Erin Louise and it was so gorgeous and I thought decently priced – $50 .. BUT it had sold out πŸ™ This is the link to her page if you want to have a look at some of her other ones though they’re simply gorgeous http://tinyurl.com/4yf3teh

    @Cote’ Writes – That is very sweet of you. I started a free online dating website for 18 – 30 year olds! I didn’t feel like there was a healthy space just for “us” out there to go and meet singles and not be trolled by 40+ men/women etc. I started it to write encouraging articles too on Confidence, being the best you and a whole bunch of other stuff πŸ™‚ If you wanted to have a looksie the web address is: http://www.possiblymaybe.com.au πŸ™‚
