knits and bows

(knit: thrifted, jeans: dotti, flats: rubi, bag: forever new, necklace: wholesale dress)

Today Scott and I started packing our suitcases for our holiday to Greece & Malta and this is what I wore! Excitement! We also went to our local shopping mall, for some last-minute buys, a car wash and a hair cut. We leave this Friday night, and there is still so much to organise and do before we go.

I still havent had the chance to edit all the photos and video footage from our Christmas in July party..... but its definatley on my to-do list for this week and I will definatley post about it before we leave for our holiday.

The necklace I am wearing I bough recently from this Asian wholesale website which I would not recommend at all! They are called wholesale-dress and sell a variety of different clothing and accessories. This is the second time I've shopped from them and it will also be the last. The first time, I was reasonably happy with the quality of the items I bought, the prices are dirt cheap so I couldn't really complain, they havent fallen appart and I still wear those pieces from time to time (I had bought three dresses). More recently I purchased another few dresses and this necklace.... I waited for what seemed like forever for my items - Long story short, nothing arrived, they said they sent it and it came back so I lost postage money and then replaced the order minus a few items. They were very unprofessional during our communications, lacking basic customer service skills. On a brighter note, the items I did receive fit me perfectly and I love my new bow necklace!

    2. Sorry to hear about your bad experience with that company. :( I'm always apprehensive to order from places I've never used before online for that reason.
