"...Chocolate Milkshake"

In a month's time, Rebecca & Andy are having their engagement party. It seems that everybody has decided what they are going to wear already. Everybody but me. A few days ago, I received my bi-annual bonus from work. I set aside a portion to put towards a new outfit and a new pair of shoes.



Before a morning class today, I met up with a friend and we stopped in at the Tawa Dress-Smart. I heart outlets. At this particular Dress-Smart they have a Max store. I heart Max. I do not heart Max's price range. Hence, I heart Max Outlet.

As we entered the store we were told that there was nothing over $50 in store today.

I tried on two tops & six dresses, with Bex & Andy's party in mind.



I ended up choosing a wrap dress with beading detail on the shoulder.

These aren't very flattering pictures.  How is it that I think it looks better on me than on an actual model? Weird.

















I initially saw the beige one, but later found the navy. I decided on the navy blue as it was a bit more forgiving of body sins.



The dress was $139.99 down to $80.00. Then because of further clearance they had marked it down to $65.00. One day deal in-store = $50.00. Score! I later checked with a regular Max store. They have it for $80.00. If you have a Max outlet near you, and you shop in the regular store first, you can consider yourself an Amateur.



Then I went in search of shoes. I have been in search for a nice pair of nude coloured shoes for a while now. I wanted some nice ones, but not too "nice" in price. The only place I could find any under $100 was trusty ol' Hannah's. They weren't on display, I told the lady in the store, what I was after, and she scurried around out the back and found them. In my size. Triumph! $100 down to $50? Half price! Epic Triumph!









They are not a colour I would usually be drawn to, but I am so, so over Black heels. At least for a little while.

They're not exactly nude though. The box defines the colour as "Mushroom". However, when I first saw them all I could think of is "just like a chocolate Milkshake only..."
