Shopping at SM Carriedo
SM Carriedo is one of my favorite places when shopping for cheap dresses and shoes. It is considered as SM's factory outlet. What they do is, items left at other SM branches are always sold with more or less 20-50% off the original price. This is really helpful especially if you are not in the always out of stock sizes of items. Well, I always benefit here when shopping on sandals, especially the brand GIBI. I think I already bought more than 10 high-heeled sandals since I discovered their discounted sandals there (and i'm still in the process of adding more to the collection lol).
I'm not sure if yesterday is my first time to shop at SM Carriedo for this year. But the thing is, i was able to shop just for 2 hours!! Yes this is an achievement for me already since I normally spend 3-4hours checking and fitting items. Below are the things I bought, again for 2 hours lol:
1. Green and White Dress/Blouse
I first saw this dress i think last year at SM Dasma. But i thought of not buying it first since I knew that this would only be used come UAAP time. But when I returned there and tried checking it out, this dress is no longer available in that branch. I also went to SM Mega just to see if they still sell this dress and unfortunately, i was not able to find it there as well. Good thing I went to SM Carriedo, and when I saw this I decided to buy it even if it is a SMALL size haha! Now I already have my first green outfit for this season's UAAP.
Size: S
Price: P250
2. Polo Shirts
My mother did not see my shopping bag yesterday, but I'm sure she'll like these two polo shirts that I bought. I was looking for white dress or blouse since I only have few clothes with this color. And yeah, my mother knows about this certain color of the month thing for me. I have this tendency to like a certain color when shopping. And it will turn out that everything that I will buy will be of that color (from clothes to accessories etc.) and my mother will always say "naadik ka na naman sa isang color!" Hahaha! Oh by the way, I was enticed with this shirt since I have a sandals that is also in powder blue. So i think this would go with that along with a maong shorts when just going out with friends :)
Size: S
Price: P275
Yes, this is just another color of the polo shirt above. Thank God the green one seems not to be good on me so I only bought two shirts lol. And given that I now have accumulated enough clothes with brown color in the design, I really need to invest on nice brown shoes (or boots even!).
Size: S
Price: P275
3. Colorful Dress
This is a relative of the dress that I bought for my sister (which I am scheduled to borrow if ever I'll have a reunion dinner *wink*). At first I am hesitant to buy this since the color is not really that appealing to me. But I am trying my best to not always go for the safe color and do some color combination experiments so i bought this dress and so far the powder blue sandals (I'll try to post this one on my next entries) I was telling earlier would suit this as well. It can be used as a nice cover up when heading to the beach as well as gimmick outfit given the right accessories and shoes.
Size: M
Price: P250
4. Maong Shorts
I am initially planning to buy a pair of jeans, but wanted a skinny that would look nice with my black boots. But when I saw this shorts, it seems that it would look nice with the blouses/shirts that I already picked that day. So there I ask for my size, tried it on and voila, it is added to my cart as well. Price for the same design but in 3/4 length is P350. I think I'll add that to my next shopping day.
Size: 28
Price: P250
5. Tube Dress
I thought this was the tube with shorts type of clothing thinking that it would be nice to have one of those for outings. But it turned out that the bottom is a skirt so you still have to wear shorts or leggings for this. I am proud of this purchase though I only saw this when I was about to go to the cashier. It's original price is P499.75 but since it is a red tag (super discounted item), it only cost me P150.
Size:S
Price: P150 (from original price of (499.75)
6. Brown Messenger Bag
Actually, I was not planning to buy a bag yesterday, but since I am already there, I checked the bags section as well. I am into messenger bags since for me it is much safer to wait for bus with that kind of bag, especially at night (I'm still paranoid with "hablot shoulder bag" stories of my friends). I am using my navy blue Esprit bag given by my mother. And I am targeting to buy a new one since the portion with the button is torn already. So when I was in Cose bags, there was this sales lady that talked me into buying this bag. Yes, one touch and she appeared from nowhere and was telling me all the good features of this bag lol. But for me it is a nice bag, and it is color brown, one safe color for any outfit combination.
Brand: Cose
Price:P350 (original price is P499.75)
7. Royal Blue Sandals
GIBI was my target yesterday. I was hoping that I can find a nice slip-ons that I can wear everyday. I am using my black boots as daily footwear going to the office. And I am beginning to worry that it will wear off since the rubber soles are thinning already. So I kept on trying on the sandals that are on sale and was able to purchase this one. It's girly I know but when i tried walking it is comfortable enough, so I am guessing I can use it regularly as well. I'll try to give my black boots some rest for now.
Size: 8
Price: P400
The entire cart was around P2800+ (there were other items that I bought) , used my HSBC, and then got my fifth receipt for free Starbucks coffee :)
