Which fashion?

That’s it. I will confess my secret and rather embarrassing deep-seated affection for This Fashion.
After trawling exhaustively through Tangs, Far East, Taka and Wisma today, all I came up with was one necklace from Far East. Every item of clothing I looked at was over-priced or ugly.
Until I came to my senses and crept ashamedly into This Fashion.
There, my senses were quickly assaulted. The loud inappropriate techno music - I believe they were techno songs set to the tunes of popular Singaporean ditties like Dayung Sampan. I kid you not. I cringed every two seconds and resisted the urge to head-bop and wave my fingers around in the air and go “diudiudiudiudiu”. The garish colors. The horrifying designs.
But I persisted. I searched for the proverbial needle in the haystack. I bore up through the yellow and purple frilly skirts and pushed through the turquoise and pink lacy tops.
And I prevailed.
I picked up a pretty sequined ethnic halter for $14, and a gorgeous denim skirt with colored stitching for only $24. Restrained myself from buying the light blue bolero cardi, and the long ethnic skirt. Sigh.
Quietly signed up for the This Fashion privilege card and quickly skulked out of the shop.
Because the shopaholic in me is exultant at getting such brilliant bargains (I never fail to find something worthwhile after I search through the shop long enough) but the sensible part of me is terribly embarrassed to be seen carrying the This Fashion plastic bag.
Well if anyone else wants to go bargain shopping with me at This Fashion, I have 10% discount!
Now I’m going to pretend I never posted this entry!
I deny everything!!

So… what happens when someone goes, “hey that’s a nice skirt, where did you get it from?”

Jess: Sounds damn good! The bag ploy is utter GENIUS! *applauds*
tscd: Having very little money in your wallet is an excellent motivation to cultivate patience to look for cheap but good clothes, and if that means plowing through racks and racks of ugly clothes in search of the elusive gem, so be it. My wallet can’t take the pressure of Topshop, Zara and Mango anymore *weeps*
Kay Lii: You flush and say you don’t remember! Heh Heh Heh.
