hitting up the boxing day sales of 2012

So this haul is a tad late but these are the things I bought at the boxing day sales of last year. From last year's observations I found that effective shopping occurs at the financial end of year (june/july) and also after Christmas during the boxing day sales. Pretty much in every shop around those times are emblazoned with every girl's favorite signage of 50% off or even better the rare 75% off. So this year I am going to especially save for those times in order to be cost effective (I am a full-time student with a casual job so you know have to be smart with money). So in the picture above you can see I got 8 items for the amount I would usually spend on 3 items. First let's start to the right; as you can see two skull pieces of clothing (by now you know that I am obsessed!). These were from ICE; the black item is actually a dress with a large keyhole cutout at the back and I fell in love with it as it's very unique. The gray shirt at the top is actually long at the back and short at the front and perfect for a casual day at uni. Next to the left are two items from General Pants. Usually General Pants is too expensive for me so when I saw the sale signage I almost jumped with joy. The shirt at the bottom is the leather sleeved gray shirt that you may have seen in my 'monochrome leather' outfit post, it's super comfortable and looks effortless. The item top of that is a gorgeous velvet dark emerald 3/4 length sleeved crop top. I have fallen in love with velvet items but unfortunately a little bit too late, at this point where I love it I barely see it but no problem I shall wait until Australia's fall/winter season. Finally the last things I picked up were video games. I love fashion but on the inside I am a tad nerdy, I mean I have a 3ds and a ps3 but I am proud of it! Electronic stores have great sales during the period after Christmas and so I took advantage. I got Tomb Raider which has three games in one, Lord of the Rings War of the North, Prince of Persia and Little Big Planet. Now out of the games I did try Little Big Planet and found it to be a bit okay very strange. I tried to like it but I am a bit iffy. What do you guys think?
