going to school

Hey you,

With school starting I have been rather busy...NOT.

I so wanna think of myself as a full time student and a part time housewife but somehow schooling has been masked with lots of cooking and kid minding.

It is so tiring, I so salute all you lot who are full time mommies.

Well, with school, it keeps me sane,

meeting with friends

studying gossiping in class

and the pre going to school is what excites me most.

the dressing up, at least I still do have an opportunity for that.

Sometimes I feel like I am over dressed amongst those in t shirts and jeans.

But I work with the mantra,

There is no ugly woman, only LAZY ones.

Please remember that, dressing up is a sign of you respecting the people around you, especially respecting yourself too.

So these are what I have been wearing to school these days:

The black & white

white ZARA shirt with black cardi from Monsoon and flared bottom from Marks & Spencer

 School girl basic:

Fuchsia Lacoste polo T and denim skirt from Aust

Slinky maxi dress from poplook.com, red tshirt Sportsgirl

 Block Colours:

Fuschia top from poplook.com, khaki pants from Mango and mustard bag from Venice

Dressing up makes me feel good and motivated to go to school.

More dressing up days to come, Yay!

See you later

Hey you

It's been a long first week of the New Year.

Running errands and getting kids ready for school, getting books and other nitty grittys sorted out is already taking a toll on me.

Being a 'full time mom' is no joke. I am so glad I will start my studies again soon...at least it will keep my mental state active again.

Anyhow, in between being super bz, I still managed to sneak sometime off for myself. At least it keeps me sane.

So I was out, minding my own business to get stuff for kids, when I saw the huge 'Final Sale' sign outside MANGO.
I was trying to be good and was just skirting the shop looking at the mannequins. Looking at the prices slashed by more than 30%, i was super glad I didn't get some of the dresses previously.

I thought no harm getting in the store to survey.

Than I saw the mustard coloured cardigan!

Oh....and I checked the price, it was slashed by 40% and I thought I deserve it, it's like fated. Didn't get it than coz it was too pricey and I thought I didnt need it then.

But now, it's so cheap, I definitely can do with my fav coloured cardi.
I was on a roll, I piled a few clothes and off to the fitting room. They all looked perfect.

But, I was determined to not spend more than $50.

I had to be strong.

I zoomed to the cashier, got 2 items and cost me $49.

Target met.

Nope I have not started buying anything yet since 2011.  That day was just 2 days shy of 2011.

Here I was donning it the next day to meet up with friends:

Mustard cardi, white shift dress with black tights. Even my hp cover matches.

With my matching mustard colored shoes from Boulevard

The next day I received this:

My final order for the year from http://thepoplook.com/.


I had to send back most of the items due to sizing but I donned this close to midnight on 31st Dec 2010

Bright pink headband from Sereni & Shentel

What a way to end 2010.

See you later.
