Purchased in May

May has been one of those months

where I must admit that shopping got 

a bit out of control.

It all started with this black and white Anne Klein dress.

I had been lusting for months now after this YSL black 

and white skirt with the side pocket:

The dress was soooo similar...

I hunted it down on line but could

not find it. Then after going to 4 stores

I found it, one piece in my size... for 117.00 USD

it's more than I usually spend on a dress,

if you follow these purchases posts you know what I mean,

but, I just had to have it.

.

Then I took a brief vacation and

walked into every single H&M

store I encountered. 

I have a weakness for this store.

While in Luzerne I bought this H&M flower top on sale for 20.00 CHF.

In the same store I picked up a pair of neon trousers.

Neon. Neon for 15.00 CHF. Neon.

Also bought on sale a pair of black and white trousers

on sale for 10.00 CHF.

I call them the orcas, they remind me of the orca whale.

While at the Zurich airport I walked into H&M

and picked up this striped dress for 14.90 CH.

How could I say no ?

At the same airport store I walked off with

a pair of blue printed trousers and matching sleeveless top,

each for 14.90 CHF.

While walking in Amsterdam my shoes got wet.

I entered an H&M store and picked up a pair of

grey sneakers for 19.50 € (25.35 USD)

I never wear sneakers, however I liked these.

I also picked up a pair of turquoise/green suede bow flats for 5.00 CHF.

While in Istanbul I fell in love with a simple pair of colorful silk flats I

saw in a store window, these were 30.00 USD

Another item I purchased were these tiny hand painted typical Delftware windmill earrings for 7.00 USD.

Also from H&M a bottle necklace for 3 euros and a round 

porcelain ball pendant necklace for 2 euros - about 7.00 USD total.

From Istanbul, a long thin silver necklace with zirconia

for 30.00 USD

From Amsterdam I also picked up a delft pendant (9.00 USD),

in Istanbul grand bazaar I picked up 4 silk bracelets (total 32.00 USD).

The original idea was to keep 2 and give the other 2

as presents, but I still have not made up my mind 

because I like them all so much.

Finally bags.

I picked up 4 bags for 410.00 USD 

(one of which I am considering in giving away) 

and a keychain for 7.00 USD-

This adds up to triple 7.

Yeah, I went so overboard.

 I don't even want to write the number down.
