My feet are aching
When I walk along Orchard Road and see people carrying numerous shopping bags, I always wonder how can anyone buy SO MUCH stuff. Well, apparently, people can. I ended up with a total of 5 huge shopping bags after 6 hours of intensive shopping! OK, my mum was with me so some of it was hers and some were for my dad but still it was 5 big bags. Quite horrifying! My feet hurt like crazy now but I am already thinking of which other shops I am going to visit tomorrow. Yes, the "Shopping Monster" in me has been unleashed once again! Ha ha.
I was rather pleased with my buys. My mum have been complaining that I am always wearing the same clothes to work so I decided it must be past time to update my wardrobe if even my mum is complaining about the clothes I wear! Anyway, the following is what I have bought in the past week of shopping:
1) One pair of black pants and a plaid skirt from Marks & Spencer
2) One pair of black shoes from P.O.A.
3) One stripe shirt and one dressy top from Metro
4) One pink top from Joan Allen
5) One pair of black pants and one pair of camel-colored pants from Liz Claiborne
I kinda figured that a gal can never have too many pairs of black pants, although I think I already have 4 pairs. Hey, they are supposed to make me look slimmer and taller ok! By the way, I ended with a discount card for Liz as a result of some promotion, so if anyone wants a 10% discount for Liz, do let me know. Just for the record, the service at Liz was very good too, they were closing when I entered the store but the sales people made no attempt to rush me or chase me away but instead encouraged me to try on pieces of clothing and even recommended clothing for me to try! That's what I call good service!
