For months, I have been longing to go to the boutique. I have such strong craving in me it feels like I haven't been eating good food for a million years. I long the sound of cashiers. The beautiful cashmere texture on cabinets. I miss staring at mannequins showing off beautiful figures in pretty clothing. I can feel the strong passion in me, which haven't been released for a very long time.
If I were to walk into my favourite boutiques at Jalan Telawi 2 in Bangsar. I will be like a mad woman no one could ever hold in my control. I will be like a puppy running towards the mother's milk, readily embracing every single thing that is pushed forward. The feeling is so strong that no one could ever believe how hot the flame would be.
Since I devour myself a few months ago, I told myself I should start to live a simple life. I should control myself from buying anymore pretty things to fill my ever-expanding closet for several years in a row. How I wish I have Kimora's (Life in A Fab Lane) closet. It is every girl's dreams. Well, at least, it is to me.
Few days ago, during the weekend, I started flipping through magazines and sites on the available boutiques online. The feelings which I have been able to control myself (imagine me controlling myself from trying anything on in ZARA) all these while started to overpower my body.
How could I miss out on such pretty creations?!?!
Comfy 2-tone dress, great for weekend outings!
If you want to look elegant...
Sexy sophisticated but not too over-the-top
A chic purse
A cute little top to pair with your favourite jeans
A pair of pink gladiators to look funky
A denim dress to be comfortable in
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.............................................................................
It was so so so SOOOOooOOOOOoooo hard to NOT click on the "purchase" button.
YES, I did.
But I went on to persuade myself by digging out a lot of reasons to stop myself from purchasing. I told myself to not get up from the chair to go grab my credit card. I psycho-ed myself that it is a wrong act.
The next thing I did, which totally killed this strong passion for pretty things was to go into my bank account and have a look at the numbers.
Ah hah! I told myself the numbers should continue to grow. It shouldn't be decreasing.
*talking to myself* If the number continues to grow, I would be richer. When I am richer, I can aim for a platinum credit card. Once I reach platinum, there will be plenty of great discounts, which are much better than what I have now. Plantinum also means greater customer service when I go into banks and certain shops. And then, I could shop with more comfort! OR, I could get myself a cozy upside apartment.
Ta-daa!
I know, it's stupid. But somehow, it kicked in a little sense into my head for a moment.
My fingers grabbed the mouse, I clicked on the X button to close all windows, including those that show all those pretty items (evil!).
I went on to look at my MSN Messenger and saw my sister, who is residing in Singapore, online.
"Eh, do you shop online?"
"Yes, I just bought 3 pairs of clothing... it's crazy"
"Oh, good, please go on to the following links I'm giving you, please buy those things as well..."
"Why?!?! For what?"
"So I can wear/use them whenever I feel bored with my clothing I have"
"Wah lau eh... smart... and the answer is NO."
Anyway, I continued psycho-ing myself for the rest of the days ...
Anyway, when I save up these little spendings, I could probably buy a pretty LV dream bag or a sweet Gucci! :D :D
Ta-daa!!!!!
