Back From Going MIA

I felt like blogging, but there wasn't much I could post about. The last time I took pictures of a vaguely bloggable nature were on the day of the Zouk flea market sale, so here's a really watered-down account of it.

Style-wise, I thought I scored much better than that incident with stockings. So lucky you, you get to see my vanity on parade.





Should've done without the shopping bag, though. (And prettier hair.) (But I love my shoes!)

Below, my worst buy of the day:




Not for the price alone (12 frickin' dollars for something I didn't really need in my wardrobe, even though I vowed not to purchased anything that cost more than 10); the experience itself - priceless. The young lady who was selling it wanted to let it go for 20 initially, the same price as another white tank with trimmings and a flower applique I went to try on. I think she wasn't having a really good day to begin with - most of the other stalls around had nicely displayed their wares for easy reach and optimum eye-rummaging, but her stall (if you could call it that) was just a splat of clothes on the floor, knotty and each item of clothing indistinguishable from the others. When I heard the price I was ready to scoot, she was talking to me like I was a new best friend, calling me "sweetheart" and what not. Her very cute brother also made me swing towards the "Okay, I'll just go give it a try" mode.

And I did, and I didn't want to buy the white tank 'cause it was too fricking expensive for my non-working dollar; and so, she very ungraciously parted with the Mango top you saw above. I'm glad I didn't tell her I stretched the material on the tank ever so slightly.

haha yup! i'd wanted to take my pic the whole day, but there hadn't been a suitable opportunity.. so, between floors (with the neighbours upstairs noisily playing mahjong), i spontaneously took down this shot. just because i liked my clothes that day.

and yes, come to think of it, i look really stiff. damn. i only had one try! models get a gazillion.
