Feed My Vanity

…and stop from shopping. I collected a rather plump Talent Fee last week and I thought “how about a little shopping to reward myself for a job well done?”, the question turned into “how about buying this top to reward myself for a job well done? Oooooh… and those jeans…. and that hat…”. You can imagine how many days I’ve been rewarding myself. Hahaha.

Well, fate put an end to that today… BY BLOCKING MY EFFIN’ ATM!!! I won’t go into details on how it happened, but a glitch in their system blocked my atm card. I have to wait for 24 hours for the system to refresh itself and for me to be able to withdraw any cash. As of now, I have like P20.00 and a lone SG dollar in my wallet. Since I can be lazy at times, I figured that the thought of hauling myself to the atm machine is the nearest thing to a firewall I can put between me and my cash.

But before I was so inconveniently blocked, here are a couple of the stuff I bought. .

Switchnation tee P350

I saw this tee two to three weeks ago in GH, but I didn’t buy it because it was a bit too expensive that time. I couldn’t get the tee out of my mind. It’s actually a shirt for guys, but who cares? Love it! Imma’ wear it whenever I feel under the weather or I know that I’m unfortunately bound to run into an annoying character on a particular day.

I bought the shoelaces because I thought it would be an easy way to perk up my Chucks. I couldn’t resist buying the ‘Hands Off’ bagtag, so cute and in-your-face. I told myself reasonably that my potential new job (which I’m still mulling over) requires a lot of travelling. So why not a bagtag? At the back of the bagtag is the usual name, address, blah blahs so your luggage can find its way home.

My favorite purchase so far is this LBD from Pink Manila.

LBD by Pink Manila

I recently lost a lot of weight. And I do mean a lot. For the first time ever since the advent of my adolescence which gave me HIPS and THUNDER THIGHS, I am now able to enjoy fitting into clothes without jumping around to fit into my jeans. I love this LBD since I may not have the legs, but I do have a waist, and this dress has a sash at the back which enables me to tighten it in the waist area. The zipper front gives it a rather biker chick look, and the color and cut makes it perfect for the office and semi-formal affairs for my potential new job!

I also bought my first ever denim mini:

GH Tiangge mini (P250)

It’s one size too big for me, but my bf said this fits me better than the other skirt I was eyeing.

Anyway, I also bought these the other day from Maldita in Shang. Most of the mid-year sales are wrapping up, and I couldn’t resist taking advantage of what’s left of it. I have always been an ardent follower of Maldita, and although the clothes are a bit pricey, they are never stingy when it comes to sales, hence what you’ll see below were both purchased for a combined amount of just a little below P1000.

The blouse looks shapeless here, but it looked amazing when I tried it on, Morticia Adams-like, in a good way. Haha. Morticia Adams as a teen in the 21st century. The jeans fit really well, like I said I lost a lot of weight, and I can’t wear most of my jeans anymore so I’ve been wearing leggings, shorts, and dresses lately.

Yes, Lord, I will stop shopping for the meantime now. But I haven’t bought shoes yet… so… okay okay! Will stop. For the meantime.
