outer wear shopping

Hey you,

I have been busy and somehow waiting for 2011 is taking ages.

I normally love it when times crawls or somehow comes to a standstill. But for now it is more for trying to appease myself for all the shopping I have done in 2010 and not add more to 2010 damage to my bank acct.

But a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do when you see what you have always wanted hanging on a hangar by the door of a shop or on a mannequin, somewhat like luring you to get it.


It was just a holiday outing on Christmas day that we as a family and MIL n SIL went out for lunch.
Decided to dress up a little, hence,

Went to this place famous for cheap Chinese food and lots of stand alone clothe shops, many opened by local young designers. I've always attributed that place for teenagers and clothes there are either small sized or too funky for old me.

After lunch and while waiting for other to finish, me who can't stay still decided to walk around. Bad move!
Ended in this little store, which attracted me coz it wasn't filled with flashy clothes but muted coloured ones. The pieces were all simple, well cut clothing.
Even though 2 of my kiddos were with me, I managed to try on a few pieces and got my hands on these 2 shift dresses.

i like the vintage like material

Well, It really looks good when it is ironed out properly. I liked it for it's simplicity. Pairing it with leggings and heels and it is perfect.


I was done with shopping, I thought, just when I saw the jacket on the hanger, waving to me, like as if under a spell, I walked into the shop, grabbed the jacket, put it on, and the rest is history.

It was the only one, wow so exclusive and I got my hands on another one.

I hate myself for giving in to temptation, but really I am so elated to finally get my hands on these, have been on my wanted list for sometime now.

Made up of cottony soft material and a satin like one in the centre.

Super soft chiffon like material, even though the sales girl said 'something like silk' coz it didn't cost over $150

I keep telling myself to STOP shopping, but I just did again yesterday. Addicted.

My new year resolution : Less shopping, more savings.To only shop once in 3 months a month and to cap each buy at no more than $200.

Well, I better keep this resolution as I had just announced to the world and it is rather realistic. SO bring on 2011, I am ready.

Happy New Year. Here's to good health, good company & good styling.

Hope it will be better than 2010 for all of us.

See you.
