Picker-Upper

I remember 3 summers ago when my sister and I raced to Zara before opening time and basically hoarded skirts, scarves, sandals--everything we could see with a dangling orange tag. Our jaws dropped when the bill amounted to over 50,000 yen. I promised myself to never let orange tags take control over me again. 

It's a learning process, however.

I gave myself an imaginary knock on my head having realised how much trouble I went through crossing to the northern bit of the city to shop last Friday only to end up at Zara anyway (I work across one). I guess I have weak EQ for I was easily gravitated towards it upon entry to the mall and without guilt nor hesitation, really. How can you ignore a HUGE sale sign? As I've mentioned before, I'm trying to shop more sensibly now and (but) that includes jumping into battle against other sale-fiends.

An hour later, I walked away happily with a new pair of acid washed distressed boyfriend jeans (hollah to mah single ladiezzz out there), a basic grey T-shirt and a pair of nude mid-heel ankle straps which I have been pining for ever since they've started prancing around on the Internet. The photos above are almost the exact things I now own save for the Balenciaga First as I couldn't find a black City that matched mine. All that's left for the taking's a basic white T-shirt, black skinnies, the Karen Walker sunnies and the speckled Nike Roshes (which are being a pain to acquire). Could I just add how the Celine Orignals are one of the best decisions I've made in my life yet?

I guess I'm still defenseless against sales but my new closet additions sure picked me up from the blues I've been feeling recently. I have too much drama, it's annoying.
