Saldi!! (everyone in Rome dresses like Aunt Bat)

This is a bunch of stuff I got during Saldi, the twice-yearly sale in Rome. This blog is mostly for my mom to see what I got, but I figure there might be a couple others out there interested in my new Italian fashion :)

These are my new - expensive - black boots. It was a little anxiety-inspiring for me to buy these, but they're molto cute and I really like them.

Here are a couple other views of them.

This is my new off-white peacoat. Only 20 euro! Zara has some awesome sales.

This is the black peacoat I bought. It was more expensive, but exactly what I wanted, and really warm and comfortable. I haven't really needed the warm coat here in Rome though, it's been extremely pleasant and warm (quite the opposite of the uber snowstorm in Seattle!!).

I got these brown suede boots from Zara for 14 euro!! That's only about $20. They're surprisingly comfortable too, although I'm not going to even try wearing them around the cobblestoned streets of Rome.

These are the two new bras I got at Yamamay, which seemed to me like the Italian Victoria's Secret (except not quite as good). I did get them both for 20 euro though. Only about $26 altogether.

The next three sweaters I also got at Zara. They were each 15 euro.

The next three shirts I got at a store called Habana, each for only 10 euro. As I said before, Saldi rocks.

These last three tank tops I also got at Zara (where else). The first two were only 4 euro each. That is a little over $5! The last one was only about 12 euro.

All the Italian women dress so nicely here, I constantly feel like a scrub. But I'm improving my wardrobe bit by bit! Next on my list is a cute gray or black skirt to go with my new coat and boots. Aunt Bat, aren't you proud? :)
