Half hanging.

I've been working hard on a major project recently and it's called "Controlling Jocelyn's shopping craze"! I had to 'cause it was burning a big hole in my pocket. A really big one! The figures on my credit card bills are enough to make me fall off the chair. I don't buy branded and spend money on it. I love thrift shops and making the most out of my money. It's the cheap little stuff I get which amounts to it. Tops going at $30+. Yes it's dirt cheap but not when you start getting 4-5 pieces of it each time.

That's why I decided to stop shopping till my Hong Kong trip in October. It was still going on well for the first month and plus I was tired out by work which left me not much time to shop during weekdays and all about resting on weekends! I'm just onto the first few days of my second month ad guess what! Maybe it's not difficult to guess! I'm half hanging! I'm dying to shop! Dying to get shoes,bags and clothes! The itch is coming back and getting worst today!!
The bf's grandaunt had just passed away recently and today was her sea burial day. Headed up to meet them at Clementi. They all had a very close relationship with each other and I've always like to be around them. glad that all of them are dealing fine with it. Still a cheerful bunch though I know they will miss her too. 'Cause I do.

Anyways we had Crystal Jade's dim sum lunch at Clementi mall. I've been there a few times but never really had time to walk around. Filling lunch. Just by looking at it makes me so full!

 

I spotted this shop "Kate love" the first time there and wanted to step in. But I was supposed to SAVE so I didn't go in! Somehow the way it's design and the colour of the clothes just makes one wanna check it out.

I finally step in today and with the urge to at least buy 1 thing and 1 thing only which is also what the bf and I limit myself to. I really look through all the clothes and bought a dress I really like for just $28! The prices are pretty affordable and material wise it's better than Bugis street. But I was wondering what I should wear inside. I've tried on with my leggings and I think it looks weird. Maybe I'll try it with a dress inside.


The other day, I was home looking through all the clothes I have. I've decided (I know I've said it umpteen times) to pack and set up a stall at the flea market so I can get more clothes in hong kong! You see... If you don't clear then you'll not have space for new ones! Took my quite awhile to realise that eh! It's just that I used to have space in the past. But not now. I can't stuff anymore things in! Shoes as well!

My Hong Kong trip is about a month away and I've already got a list of places to go!! It's not my first time in Hong Kong though but I'm still doing my research on where to go for cheap shopping! It just never gets enough, isn't it! But I'll definitely head to Zara and Aldo!! It's way way much cheaper over there! almost about $50-70 different! I saw a pair of heels I love the other day at Aldo, had to hold back!!

I really am half hanging already!!!! Dying soon! So usually what I do when I have the urge to shop, I'll dig out all my clothes and shoes for a mini fashion show at home! Just to remind myself that I actually have this top or that bottom!

Happy holidays my friends! Enjoy the day off tomorrow! And Hari raya to all muslim friends! I'll be back at work tml! :(
