The only time shopping is cheap addiction is when u can't find something to buy, but then didn't buy anything still can call 'shopping' meh?According to the articles mention Gen Yers (aka us) appear to happy to shop offen (shopaholic lah in other word) but also keen to seek bargain (ie price sensitive cos we r poor~ so sad passionate shopper but didn't have $ to spend~) This definitely apply to me, esp this year hahaha (and Vanya too)
When i first come to melb, i hardly buy any clothes and even if i did, almost all of them are under $30... this has changed over the years... am no longer converting (mati lol~) Good thing all the stuff i buy are still under $50. Over $50 is like Rm130 sth man, we can buy good quality branded stuff edi back in Malaysia. (stuff from G2000, padini etc) The only thing that worth more than $50 are generally electronic stuff like my hard drive, MP3, printer etc~ and those r reasonable spending lah, not like i buy them every year or what and they last for years too~ but that's still a lot of spending in overall >_< (oh forgot to mention my skincare also expensive stuff but most of them i stock up from malaysia so still ok~)
Is VIP day/night season again~ aka time to waste $$. I just went down to city to check out Melbourne Central VIP day after my tutorial end at 1pm, managed to catch an express train to city (yea! 20 minutes journey become 10mins~) Lucky for me, winter clothes are generally expensive, even after the exclusive discount, most of them are over $50. The price put off my desire haha~ but gosh, Esprit's new puffa jacket so colorful and nice (very comfortable and warm and it's worth buying) ~ but no $ and i don't need it~
Love that pink one with fur~ but in aus the brown and white one down there is better cos the neck part can help u block away the cold wind (the reason why winter feel so cold despite no snow)Was looking for a winter jacket for my mama and aiyah what she want is very simple, but leh, very hard to find one that meet her requirement these days.... She looking for a very ordinary jacket like the one u can find form Roxy, Billabong, Converse etc BUT she don't want any big writing or drawing on it... very small logo is acceptable... also don't want too fashionable one cos she only wear it once in a while when she go vacation on a 4 season country and must be under $100. ( i pull up the budget cos i think she deserve good clothing + also make it easier for me to find)
Now u tell me, where can find one like that boh~ winter jacket esp the one that fit her description is worth investing, cos can wear for years, and all the brand i can think off all obsess with having big logo or printing on it~ got one lah, my Fila jacket which i got for $20 but that jacket ah if during very cold day ie max temp 15, it's not enough~ need another layer outside or a jumper inside~ Country Road also got similar one with my Fila, and that one even nice, 100% no writing (my fila got small logo said Fila at a corner, silver colour not very visible) but CR one cost like $70 if no mistake. Why spend so much buy one jacket which similar to my $20 one and also not warm enough deh? haiyah, always like this, when desperately shop for something u can never get the one u want. Now am thinking of Katmandu or go DFO see if got anything good on sale~ My mum actually bought one Navy blue jacket when she come to melb with me on Feb, billabong i think, got a big logo (no writing) she was ok with it until she go home and think don't want lah... so now that jacket is temporary belong to me (reserved), if i can't find one, i will ask just ask her to stick with that one! WAH seriously keluar topic (tak apa still shopping mah~)
Today i got myself sth from Kikki + 3 books from boarders for $35 sth (40% off) *kaching* + many more $$ to foods and drinks.... then i manage to squeeze into a peak hour train, even got myself a seat and it's another express train!! Train speed during peak hour also much faster~ Next week is Chadstone VIP.... good excused to ask friend to go out hehehe~ I just spend $50 on clothes last week in Southland so my desire to buy something pretty much been satisfied unlikely to spend much (i predict if i go i will waste $ on food again~ Boost juice!) Vanya... umm dunno what got into her this sem, her limit been rising~ i kinda suspect anything below $100 is ok for her seeing how she spend on her last 3 dress (which i scold her for not wearing, her excuses - it's winter... well sorta true.... those dress r kinda spring/summer~ but at least wear once mah~)
Conclusion: siapa kata it's cheap addiction boh?? if it's cheap then why $$ in bank account decrease only~ It's a guilty pleasure i admit~ make a girl like me happy~ :P
