Unless you're very rich, of course.
Right now I'm going back & forth (like Willow's hair) between feeling really good and bad, and then bad for feeling bad because really, I'm good. Hahaha.
I is happy because I just made fantastic (IMO hahah) new additions to my wardrobe and then I feel bad because I'm not supposed to spend. Not that much, anyways. The $ was to pay hefty traffic summonses, but summonses are boooo-riiing, I'd rather buy pretty things I can wear LOL *bimbo*
I went to Pavilion with the sole intention of getting Momma's skincare stuff, even though she was just here like 3 days ago. She won't buy anything without first trawling all over the net doing her comprehensive scientific beauty research.
And then I stopped by Topshop cuz I had a RM25 voucher so I thought maybe I could get like a basic tee or something. One can never have too many basic tees! Then I saw this ring, which was like, 26 bucks so yay something to use the voucher on without paying too much extra. But. I grabbed the basic anyway. And another slutty mesh top which for now I still don't know how to wear without looking trashy but which I totally had to have. So yeah, no savings at all. Stupid voucher tricked me! They must know that I rarely resist once I walk in and take a long look around hmph.
Then I decided to kill time as usual at the bookstore. And I told myself I needed to get something because like, who goes on a beach holiday without a book right? Only thing is, just one book is a really quick read, plus I got those really fluffy chick lit kind (perfect for the beach!) I probably would have finished half of it on the plane and the other half by the end of the first day. So... I got two.
Then I went over to Uniqlo cuz I wanted to get a plain white tee. Several of mine have either gone missing or yellowed eww. (Why do they disappear so easily?) But in the men's department, the smallest they had was M which would look terrible because it doesn't fit so I was thinking maybe I could get a woman's one in a larger size so I walked downstairs and all they had were like camisoles and tank tops.
Extremely disappointed, I was about to leave when I saw in one section rows of gorgeous mohair sweaters on SALE. They were beautiful! And 'perfect for layering' or at least, that's what the tag above it said. It's true though. I tried one for two minutes and I was already thinking of the many ways I could wear it. OMG. Couldn't resist. I tried so many on cuz I couldn't decide which colours I want and whether I want a V-neck, scoop neck or cardi. I was very determined to take only one.
After I decided I walked to the cashier to pay and I saw this pweeeteee wool checked coat with gold buttons which wouldn't look outta place on Ms. Waldorf. (OMG what's wrong with me am I really taking fashion cues from Gossip Girl?). It didn't look that fantastic hanging there but when I tried it on... omglurrrrveees. (Hahaha I am talking like a teengurl today whyyyy) Then this cipetcinaauntie hogged MY mirror so I had to go find a new one and next to the new mirror, there was this amazing navy velvet blazer. Ohmygod. Wet! It fitted. So. Fucking. Per. Fect. Ly. And then I got really torn because I only wanted to to get a tee and even though they don't have that I now have three things in my arms which I didn't plan on getting at all in the first place. Dilemma dilemma. In the end, I chose the first two items I saw though as I am writing this now, I am contemplating to go back and get that perfect velvet blazer hee hee. I spent like 80 minutes in that store and I didn't even realize till Cyntia called me and told me it's dinnertime.
On the grand scale of things, I probably didn't spend that much but in contrast to the income that I'm bringing in right now (zero!), I must say it wasn't very healthy (for me, for the economy-yes) for one single afternoon. LOL.
