Cats and fur

The shopaholic side of me really goes wild when it is sales season. Of course I try to contain myself and buy things I feel I will be wearing for a while; not just buy something because it is very cheap, use it once and then dispose of it. The trick is to look for pieces that had caught your eye already when they were full price and then go through the rest of the things that you think are worth.

I had been eyeing in Zara for a while these very nice shoes  but I thought they were too expensive. They are made of leather but still I was not willing to pay the 1,599 pesos (which translates to 75 USD, 70 EUR, 60 GBP aprox.) that was the original price. However now I found them on sale for 599 pesos (28 USD, 26 EUR, 22 GBP) and available on my size I just had to grab them ;)

Leopard, fur and denim

Have you ever been inside a shop and as soon as you locked eyes with a garment you know you have to have it? This is what happened to me when I went to Oaxaca in October with my students. The students were taking an embroidery class in Miku Meko and while I was going through the racks of clothes there I felt this instant spark with this shirt. After 3-4 days of thinking about it I decided to buy it because if I didn't I would be regretting it for a long time. It has been resting in my closet since I came back but now the weather is chillier I finally got the chance to use it!!
