Wardrobe Additions In March & April: What I Bought & How I've Worn It

While I didn't buy any new fashion items in March, I did get a couple of dresses from my sister's wardrobe clear out, and an opshopping day in April resulted in me buying two new-to-me items of clothing. So here's what I've added to my wardrobe recently and how I've worn it.

What I Added to My Wardrobe:

March Wardrobe Additions:

Orange and black Salty Crush printed dress from my sister's wardrobe
Caroline Morgan navy daisy print dress from my sister's wardrobe

April Wardrobe Additions:

thrifted Millions & Billions navy floral shrug jacket
thrifted Pink Diamond red floral print maxi dress with tassels

I'm really thankful my sister let me go through the items she had discarded from her wardrobe, and I scored these two beautiful dresses, both of which have gotten me compliments when I wore them. I have been on a bit of a dress kick recently and I'm enjoying wearing these two. especially the orange and black one, perfect colours for Brisbane's current autumn weather!

The dress and the floral shrug were both just $1 each - the dress was on sale at a little local opshop, and the floral shrug jacket was $1 from my go-to opshop that has $1 clothing items. I was really pleased with my finds! I'd been looking for some items for my son for a school project, and some photo frames, but I always have a browse of the books and the clothes to see if there's anything for me too, and I was happy with both of these buys.

With these pieces from my sister and the dress I thrifted though, it now brings my total of new dresses added to my wardrobe this year to 5, which seems a bit much. As I set myself a rule of wearing everything I buy at least twice in the month I buy it though and I've easily achieved this with all these dresses, I still think they were good buys, and I'm enjoying wearing them! I have decluttered a few other dresses from my wardrobe to make room, but I'm also expecting the next couple of months to be low purchase months, as I've added quite a few pieces to my wardrobe this year!
