Confessions of a shopaholic
Yup, I am on my way to becoming Becky Bloomwood!!! I had nothing much to do today at work which meant I could leave the office on time (a rare occurence) and since my good friend XZ who works in the same organisation was free, we decided to hit the nearby shopping malls. I needed to buy more work clothes and have been deprived of proper shopping time the past month so I was raring to go.
Dorothy Perkins was our first stop. Nothing much, but ended with a round-neck white T-shirt that I have been looking for to wear under my jacket. My main aim was to visit GG<5 (one of my favourite local clothing lines) as they were having sales!! Yes, that beautiful magical word. I went into the shop with the intention to browse only but.........., as usual, I ended up more than looking and left the shop with a shopping bag of new purchases. On my way to the train station, I passed by Charles and Keith (a local shoe brand) and decided to pop in for a look. And before I knew it, I ended picking up a shoe and asking the salesperson if they have it in my size. Well, they did and the shoes looked lovely on my feet so of course they ended as mine!!! Then I did what Becky always does when she overspends, which is to start rationalising my purchases.
1) One Dorothy Perkins Round-neck white T-shirt (essential, for work, to be worn under jacket)
2) One GG<5 Black cardigan (another work essential)
3) One GG<5 Bright yellow knit top (another work essential too!)
4) One pair of black strappy heels from Charles & Keith (this is for work too!!)
So you see, all the above items were valid purchases, they all fall under the "items that can be used at the workplace" catagory, so none of them were frivolous purchases.
And to top it all off, my feet hurt so bad from all that shopping that I took a cab home. Yes, just call me "Becky" when any of you see me next.
p.s. Where is my equivalent Luke Brandon in all this!!! Sigh.

It was not a storewide fixed discount thing but everything was on sale, ranging from a 20% discount up to 50%. The sale started last week so prob quite alot of good stuff were gone or else I would have ended buying more I think. Sigh.
We could go shopping again when you come back. :c)
