Sneek Peeks
I was getting a little worried, seached through Kmart on Sat, as they had " buy the second item at 60% off"
But I was setriously struggling with finding something...
anyway on Sunday John was taking Jack to DFO and I just had to go aswell, went straight into portmans and found this " to die for dress" only $19.95!!
Marked down from $139.00!!
Can you believe it!!
This is the front:
this is the back:
Now I just had to have new earings and necklace so having searched e-bay for a while I came across this little beauty!
$7.00!!!!
I'm happy with that!
Sooooo Happy!
Anyway showed Dot at work these photos and she just loved the dress, she then forwarded the photos to her sister who fell in love with it too!
After a short phone call to Portmans, they have agreed to hold two of the same dress for Dorothy and her sister Lisa, I'm off right after school drop off to DFO to collect them!
HOW EXCITING!!!
so much to tell you, Michelle, Rach and I have been madly planning for Divas, hence my absence form my blog,let me get it all down here, before I forget
