Another Round of Shopping Spree...!



Since I didn't actually get what I was looking for on my previous shopping trip, I decided to drop by One Utama on my way back from the library today. Yup, the library... *grins* Needed push myself to study if I really want to pass my exams..

Anyway, back to the juicy part... shopping!..

I received a birthday card from Spade (an Edmunser's label) - like every other year, bearing a 40% discount coupon on every item purchased during my birthday month. So, apa lagi... time to stock up on jackets and pants laa kan..

What did I get for myself?

1 black pin stripe jacket and a matching pants
1 grey pin stripe pants

And as a loyal customer (yeah.. I usually get my work pants n jackets here because I just love their materials), they gave me 3 more discount coupons for the next purchase. 30% off for every item!! Wuhoo.. However, the expiry date is till end of September.. Dunno if I'll have enough financial back-up next month for another round of shopping though.

At first I thought I would just make a pit stop at Spade and then rush back home. Then I remembered that I still haven't found anything to wear to my best friend's garden wedding reception next month. Hence, I was roaming the entire mall (old wing and new wing) searching for a nice, affordable (cannot laa mahal2) dress..

And as usual, when you know exactly what you want, you will have a hard time finding it in all the shops. Have you ever faced a similar situation? E.g. when you were only window shopping, there will be lots and lots of dresses hanging in the window of every shops. During that time, you couldn't care less about it because you were not looking for a dress. However, when you actually want to look for a dress, it is as if they have announced it to all the shop owners to take it off the rack.. "Attention shop owners.. Binx will be stopping by today in search for a dress.. Please hide all the dresses on the rack instantly.. Thank you".. hhmmppff...

I finally managed to find one shop that sells beautiful dresses. I was mesmerised by all the nice flowy materials hanging on the racks. Lawa ok... But one look at the price tag had almost caused me my 1st heart attack.. errkk.. Cannot afford laa weii...

Suddenly remembered that my sis bought one nice dress when she was in New York few years back.. Hmm... interesting... So I rushed back home and asked her about it over dinner..

Kak Nor: If you can fit in it, pakai laa..
Binx: (selamat my money...) *grins* Thanks

Hence, dress problem solved. Just need to find a cardigan to wear over it..

I guess another trip to the Mall won't hurt my wallet, kan?
