If you’ve got it, Flaunt it
Well, despite my current money woes I went ahead and purchased myself a new dress:
So why did I get this lovely garment when I should be saving money as a precaution??
Well I’ll tell you. I got it for a song!
It all started with Asian Pear. She had a $50 gift certificate she couldn’t use, so she gave it to me. I started looking at the dresses on Kiyonna and settled on the Flaunt dress (pictured above). It came recommended from some plus-size fashion blogs I read, and it looked like a good cut anyway. (If you’re interested in Kiyonna’s clothing, please consider clicking through the banner ad on my site. I get a small kickback for each sale made. Thanks!)
I hemmed and hawed and finally decided to get it. First I wanted it in black to be my LBD, but then when I found an LBD at the clothing swap I changed my mind. When I went on today I was ready to get it in a sexy red–but they were sold out! Noooo!!!
Luckily I also kind of liked it in the blue (it will probably look great on me since I’m blonde… every shade of blue goes with me!) so I decided to get it anyway.
Here’s the fun frugal part: it was only $38 Canadian!!!
With the help of Pear’s gift certificate, a free shipping promotion and a 20% off code I got for joining Kiyonna’s Facebook page I saved 66% off of the original price!
I’m pretty proud of myself.
There will be a small additional cost for shipping–I had it sent to my aunt in the US to get the free shipping, then she is going to mail it to me as a “gift” but it shouldn’t be more than $10 to get it here. And I’m ok with that!
Yay! I can’t wait for my new dress!
I had not heard of this store before, but wow, they have some great stuff. I am sure you will look wonderful in that dress.
That is such a cute dress. I think it will look great on you.. Hope you get it fast.
YAY! We should do a get-together in Spring or Summer and strut our stuff with you flaunting your flaunt dress.
It looks really good. It is going to pop against your skin & hair!
You HAVE to post a pic of the dress when you get it. I wanted this dress (and another one so badly…) I almost bought another dress, but was $8 short in my Paypal. Don't you know …Kiyonna has a sale with a 20%off code the next day…and the dress in my size is gone
Bummer.
Yeah on the dress! Can't wait to see it!
Cute dress havent heard of the line but will look into it
