these clothes have feelings

today after doing laundry i had one HARD look at my closet.

sigh.. then i started counting the number of fashion missteps and wayward buys i made, and all the more I feel like calling a garage sale and selling all the crap i have amassed in just one year of frivolous shopping in the USA. and no, i'm not a shopaholic. you see, IF i were a shopaholic, then shopping alot would mean my buying skills would improve. since they still kinda stink, well.. i'm NOT. or i'm just a lousy shopaholic. which sounds worse.

aniwez, most of the errors spawned from the fateful frenzied day at woodsbury where time was so tight and I was just like crashing into stores to get like the necessary winter items.

when i say necessary, i think i meant a-bit-ugly-also-can-forgive. which on hindsight, kinda means ugly-until-i-won't-wear-it-the-next-season. -_-.

geez, let's count.

1. one ugly fcuk jacket that i was estatic at chancing upon cos it was so cheap. hmm, the hoodie is too small (makes me get headache) and the sleeves are slightly short. plus it's ugly. with a capital U.

2. a denim jacket from CK. i think the brand CK kinda sealed the deal for me at that point. yah.. and i have worn it a grand total of like.. 4 times? cos i think i cannot coordinate it with ANYTHING since most of the times i wear jeans of that tinge. -_-

3. the hideous monstrosity of a bright traffic-light red big overcoat. honestly, i think i was slightly crazy when i bought it. oh.. i remember, i started panicking cos i couldn't find a SINGLE decent jacket in woodsbury cos north face and stuff were sold out. so i settled for a "different" style, nautica orange jacket. which i dare not reveal unless I go like snowboarding and its absolutely required.

ah heck. i'm not going to like recount all these crap. it's really disappointing for one.. i think it kinda teaches me a few lessons.

1. never EVER shop on a tight schedule. even if it means you do not get a winter coat, you still can get it other ways, eg. online.

2. try, try, try. spend like 10mins in the fitting room and ensure you want to live in those clothes. -_-

3. do not think woodsbury is like the mecca of all shopping and delay buying anything till then. cos it ain't that great. for a great point, the quiksilver jeans i bought there have gotten a ripped look thanks to their poor quality. geez

oh well.. i'm supposedly going woodsbury again next saturday. THIS time round I'm going to window shop and REALLY take my time at stuff.

geez.
