Trembling Hands

I can do this.

I have not taken a single cab ride and shopped AT ALL for the past two - three weeks. From the time leading up to CNY till now.

:)

Then shit happened...

:(

I have just dropped over a hundred bucks on new clothes plus a bag and about to spend a few more on the pair of shoes I recently saw (too cute to pass up!) plus some pants which will come super handy for work. CRAP. I was doing so well.

BUT, this is justifiable spending. The new shoes I am about to buy? Too cute, will look so pretty on my feet! The new pants? Perfect for work and looks at the right length (from the mannequin, haven't got the chance to try it out) I have too short legs and when the pants ends just nicely at my calves, I will get it, never mind the cost.

(Will show pictures here if my future purchases become a reality!)

Nevertheless, I am going to persevere in saving money. Every buy is going to be worth every cent. No more cab rides because they just kill my bank account and no more reckless purchases because they just kill my bank account too.

Wish me luck!!!

P/S: Pinky promise that I will resume the outfit posts asap!

Of late

My love for sky high heels / platforms have diminished recently... Now, I have a penchant for buying comfortable low heeled wedges. Skinny or uncomfortable heels don't appeal much to me anymore, especially when blisters, sore ankles and unsightly scars come as a package.

Sensibly, chunky heels and wedges get me through the day easily. Sighs. Buying shoes are much harder now, since I have resolved to buy shoes that I will definitely wear and it ranks high on comfort.

Over a month ago, I have thrown out many shoes that:

a) cuts into my ankles (sorry studded New Look caged booties, you bite into my skin!)

b) hurt my feet (sorry heels, you're pretty but painful!)

Because of them, my poor ankles and feet are looking incredibly disgusting with scars and marks... (sad face)

I am more selective whenever I get shoes and I don't buy as recklessly anymore, which is a good thing. My TO BUY shoes are flats, sandals and wedges, anything that screams comfort!

Anyway, I am going back to posting regularly on my daily outfit looks starting tomorrow WHICH has been ages since I have done so. Pardon me but I have been so busy, I neglected this space of mine :(

Girl in Aviators Turns 1!

P/S: I know this post is terribly late - 2 days in fact! But life has gotten so much busier than ever. Have to do a proper post ASAP!

2011, I am ready for you.

Not really ready to say goodbye to my 1 week break though :)

Spring Clean

Just started a mini shoe spring cleaning, to clear away shoes that should have long gone to the bin and shoes that I don't even wear anymore even if I were to keep it for the next 100 years. Admittedly, I also needed space for new shoes to come in... :)

Okay, so I have a lot, okay, too many clothes I haven't worn before / worn 1 or 2 times / never try but bought it anyway and it doesn't fit or stuff that I bought with the dreams of being able to squeeze into... and I would really love to get rid of it pronto!

Not only it is eating space into my wardrobe, precious space I must add, I can't see any of the new clothes I bought anymore because all I am seeing are the clothes-that-should-be-gone blocking my lovely view :(

So I am going to continue my spring cleaning. Out with the old and in with the new.

It will hurt like a bitch (throwing out my precious clothes) but I know it will be a good thing.

Merry Christmas!

Have an awesome Merry Christmas everyone!

Cheers!

Thrill Me

Three things that thrilled / happened to me today:

1) Found a pair of amazing jeans that surprisingly fits me superbly well and ends right at my ankles (FINALLY, I don't need alteration!) AND.... cost a mere S$21! OMG!

2) Hurriedly rushed out of the dressing room and exclaimed to the bewildered SA excitedly, "I love these jeans! I'm going to buy them!" And thus, bought the last 2 pairs right away! (Though I have to admit, I was contemplating on getting another same pair. When it was my turn to pay up, I looked so forlorn, I called out to the nearest SA and told her I am going to buy another same pair, which I left it at the dressing room counter. It was a bit drama as the SA rushed up and rushed down to get it for me, haha!)

3) Realized how much I miss shopping at bSYI (sighs, it has been so long, why?) - went there yesterday and today. The friendly sales staff recognized me (looks shy). Bought 3 tops in total from my 2 trips there. Lurve bSYI!

P/S: Thank goodness I have ample self restraint on today's impromptu shopping trip or else I will have to end up eating grass at tomorrow's Xmas eve dinner!
