Hell0 Darlings,

With another Boxing Day conquered, the question of the day is Boxing Day shopping - is it worth it? Despite my best efforts to plan, I've realized Boxing Day success is more about luck and lots of will power. Also it's key to have a specific piece to hunt to avoid wandering aimlessly and save yourself from unnecessary purchases.

Therefore, this boxing day I had a clear goal in mind. Only to buy items that I actually need now or in the near future. This Boxing Day, I ended up leaving with a dress for my university graduation, a skirt for my internship, and a pair of flats that I've been dying to get. As well as some beauty products.

Can I say that it was a successful day of shopping? Yes! Only because I purchased items that I need and I did so with saving quite a bit. So, shall we explore my boxing day "scores"... and reasons behind the purchase and the amount saved! This is kind of like a Boxing Day Analysis...

♥ Beauty Items

I had a clear goal in mind and was in need on skincare products. 

I purchased various skin care items that I will definitely review in my upcoming skin, beauty post and hair posts.

 

Kiehl's Sodium PCA Oil-Free Moisturizer, $24

Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado, $35

YSL Singulier Mascara, $36

2 of Body Shop Shea Body Butter, $5 ( on sale from $8)

The total spent was $573 with $493 in savings. Was Boxing Day worth it? Yes and No! Yes, because I bought things items that I will actually wear.  No, because I did spend a lot and the savings were not spectacular.

I am wearing:

♥ Club Monaco Italian Cashmere Sweater

♥ BCBG Max Azria Tutu Tank Dress

♥ Michael Kors Watch

♥ Jewelry by LuShae color heart ring

I did play around with purchasing this tutu at BCBG but decided that my new Robbi& Nikki by Robert Rodriguez Feather Skirt was more age appropriate :) Although the tutu was cute and fun. The outfit had to be shared and maybe one day I will have enough courage to actually wear a tutu in public, but until that day... it was just as fun to play around with it.

Please do share your favorite Boxing Day finds?

Where did you go shopping?

And do you think it is worth to go shopping on Boxing Day?

Wishing Everyone a Beautiful Day!!!

With Love...
