POST 333.

And so, I attempted to make a typography kind of, inspired skin.

It wasn't all that bad, apart from some rough edges and, all the pink. It's still bearable with the green background in contrast and all. For now.

Anyway, moving on. 

Since I've actually, ran out of blog post ideas, I went on Google and got the idea from here. Today Tonight, just before I head off to my room to continue with Without A Trace, I'm going to blog about my fashion obsession.

Every week, I've been trying to spend as little as possible on school lunch so that the rest of my allowance for that week can be saved up. Skipping of school break (in the sense, I don't buy any food) has already saved me easily 15 bucks. And then school lunch costs me 20 each day so in a week, I spend about 100 bucks. At least one of those days I just have, to get something during break. Especially when there're sugar donuts. So, taking all of that into account, I would end up saving about 150 bucks a week which is not bad actually. But then, calculating by month, I easily spent 400 bucks on food. Holy crap. 

I'd rather not eat, if only I could without starving. 

Then when I finally have about 1000 saved up, I decide to go on a shopping spree and grab 500 out of the box. There just went 3 weeks of hard-saved money.

Honestly, I can't help myself. Everytime I buy something, it's never exactly what I want and then I'll have to buy another again. 

For instance, my Cotton on cardigan. I bought it 2 years back if I'm not wrong, in Singapore. I chose a blue. Then, when I decided it'd be a good time to put it on, it doesn't match with my clothing. Why, because it's a friggin blue in colour. So then I have to buy another of that cardigan, the same material, same style, just of another different colour - black. (I've been buying loads of black things recently. I don't know, I suppose it's easy to throw em' on and they'll still match.) Jackets are not the only things, even tees.

I can have, like all colours of the same tee in my closet. Reason being, I can just put em' on and throw on some black leggings and I'm dressed for the day. And surprisingly, (if you were wondering), the fact that I have 10 copies of the same shirt just in different colours, doesn't actually bother me much.

My worst ones are probably shoes and bags. Everywhere I go, I see an awesome bag or shoe, I don't care I'm getting it. Then my parents tell me, "You have something similar". I say, "This one's a different colour."

I think this actually happens everytime I go on a shopping spree. Which, is much more frequent this year despite the insane homework loads. 

I walk into a store and immediately see that "fab" cardigan hanging on display. Straight away I ask the shop assistant for it and put it over me (not wearing it) and look in the mirror. I check the price, it's reasonable, pay. Then when I get home I try it on and step in front of the mirror, "what the hell was I thinking when I bought this?!" ...

Then what I do with it is leave it rotting at the back of my closet. Or at the bottom of my drawers. This happened when I was shopping with Christy. I purchased a black cardigan (to replace the blue one I mentioned earlier) for 50 bucks and regretted it oh so much when I got home. I knew I shouldn't have gotten it. That 50 bucks could've been used to get something so much nicer. Like another top from Cotton On, and add it to my closet.

One of the worst things ever that can happen is I pay like, a huge sum of cash for either i) a sale item, ii) a normal priced outfit and only to realise it has a hole or a stain that can't be removed on the item. If it's i) a sale item, I can't get it returned or exchanged which would suck. If it's ii) a normal priced item, I will have to make another trip back to that shop to get it changed and usually, that shop's pretty far away when I'm practically living in the middle of nowhere. Even worse if I make the trip there only to find out that I have to pick something else since the item I got is out of stock.

When I realise all the problems (said above) in my newly bought clothes, I end up giving myself more reasons to go on a shopping spree again to find things to replace those damaged, wrong coloured, unable to match, whatever, things. The consequence: closet exploding with clothes and unable to open my drawers because of all the jammed clothes inside. And, probably half of them I don't even wear anymore but I simply can't be bothered to take em' out. 

... On second thought, I'm thinking of getting rid of the old stuff and making room for more new ones 8D Boy, ain't I glad I hid my bank card away or I'd be madly withdrawing cash of the ATM. Oh and did I mention that I just went on another shopping spree this afternoon?

Guess what happened. I bought something and regretted it.
