The other day, me and Bunny were talking how we both have the tendencies to think way ahead and concentrate more on the "what if's" and other stuff that is really not worth worrying or stressing about. My friends and my mom have already pinpoint this bad habit of mine which I know I need to stop. So yeah I do tend to worry and stress a lot when confronted with any situation and this would even include shopping.
Yes, I love to shop and it is one of my favorite activities when I have the spare time. When I shop, I don't just go out there and buy whatever it is that fancy my eyes. I like to be organized when I'm shopping which is why I always have a monthly shopping list that I regularly update so as to keep in line with the things that I only need to buy. Also, I like to have a "plan" of my route whenever I'm in the mall so that I know the stores that I will be only going to and to avoid distraction. Lastly, I prefer to shop alone so that I wouldn't have to stress out if you are: a) getting bored, b) itching to go some place else because of a), and c) just simply starting to annoy me. But there are times when I like to have a friend or two to accompany me and these are also "organized shoppers" themselves. This weekend though however is a different case.
Last Friday was a haven to all the loyal shoppers of Topshop since it was their annual private sale. Originally I didn't plan on going so as to prevent myself from spending since I am getting broke and my mom was out of the country and enjoying herself in the land of the Temples (Bangkok and Cambodia). But Bunny persuaded me to go with her and Darla so I eventually gave in and was curious to see the items. It was pure bliss for all Topshop lovers there regardless of the long lines and people frantically going through racks and racks of clothing since a lot of the items were marked down even up to 70%! I was just planning on looking around until I stumbled into this top that reminded me of the 80's in a subtle way. I liked the design since it looked pretty rare and how it wasn't screaming 80s! all over. What's best about it is that it was marked down from 2500 to 500 bucks! But it wasn't one of the things that I "need" so I was going back and forth in my mind if I should keep or let go. I spent a lot of time thinking until Bunny told me that maybe the top is meant for me which is why it found its way in my hands and that I may just end up regretting if I let go of it (See, we take shopping very seriously). I really hate it when I find something that I really like and decided to let go of it only to find out that on the day I'm finally going to purchase it, somebody already took it. So I decided to buy it even if I didn't need it since it was a good deal and what the heck I like the way it looked on me. My supposedly-not-shopping-trip doesn't end there. The next day I decided to go to the mall and "look" for cocktail dresses for this fashion show I'm going. I was a bit hesitant at first if I wanted to go out since I still felt a bit tired after one stressful school week and two straight weekends of partying and going out. Anway while in one of stores I saw this Herve Leger inspired dress minus the Bondage effect and again what's good about it is that it was at a reasonable price. I decided to try it on and I was immediately drawn to it. As usual I was debating inside my head until my friend Mary called me to discuss the details of the fashion show we were going. I asked Mary for some advice if I should get the dress. She told to me buy it especially after I mentioned Herve Leger. To cut it short, I decided to buy the dress in the end especially when the sales guy told me that it was the last piece since they only have limited stocks of it.
Now I'm really broke and should really refrain from spending or better yet going to shopping malls. Nevertheless, I'm still on a high with my purchases and saved myself from having regrets.
