A time to splurge

There's a time to scrimp and there's a time to splurge. For this week, it's the time to splurge on branded clothes ON SALE!

What's the damage for this week? Two dresses, one top and earphones.

Zara Top, P495 (from P995)

Zara dress, P1,350 (from P2,450 - See, how I can resist with such a big price cut!?)

Sony Neckstrap In-ear Earphones, P1,200 (A bit pricey for a set ear speakers but this one's worth it. It's got a neckstrap design so wear it like a necklace, doesn't tangle, sounds great and it's in pink!)



Details dress, P350 (from P1,000+ - picture to be uploaded. It's in the laundry!)

I'm a certified shopaholic and I am very much aware of it. I can relate with Rebecca Bloomwood in the widely-loved Shopaholic books sans the credit card dilemma since I pay outright cash and if I needed to use a credit card my mom would answer for it, and then I pay her in installments. Because of this, I'm almost always broke. I always justify my purchases with "I'm going to use it in school anyway!" and "It's on sale so I might as well buy it!" excuses. At the end of the day and especially after I start walking around lugging my paperbags, one each per arm or more, a big smile would always curl up on my face and then I'm joviant for the rest of the week until I open my wallet to pay for photocopying services and meals and see a fly coming out from it. Yes, I do wear good clothes. But then, I have to scrimp for a week and say no to every dine-outs and movie nights. Unless my friends lend me some moolah of course which they always do. By the way, thanks to my friends who understand my pernicious shopaholicness! :) I pay them immediately anyway but borrowing money never makes me feel at ease.

So much for the talk. This post won't be about how I curbed my seemingly "innocuous" shopping habits anyway. This post is about justifying myself once again and my need for clothes. Forget everything else. I have a new reason now, study in a good school so wear good clothes. It's on sale anyway. And I'm being practical by buying these on sale. With lower prices for branded clothes, what's to stop me from diving in insolvency. It would only last for a month anyway. I'm hopeless.

Edit: I've posted ugly and unprofessional pictures for the clothes. Definitely changing that when I have the time.
