Confession of a Shopaholic

Yes.. if you know me close enough, you will know that I'm a shopaholic. It's not that I'm addicted to shopping, but there are few things that I can't resist when I"m supposedly window shopping:

1) Discount
Believe it or not, this works most of the time. It doesn't matter if its a 10% or 70% sales, because it gives me one good reason to buy something I don't need, simply because its cheaper and I'm saving by spending less. HAHA. When I get home only to realize, I can save more by not spending at all.

2) Buy one get another one for free/ 50% on 2nd piece
Just another way to attract my attention when shopping. Are you kidding me? We knew this trick since forever - like 3? One lollipop for 20 cent and 3 for 50 cent. Still we fall again and again because we thought its worthy. In my case, I will keep telling myself I'm buying the 2nd piece to have myself more choices of colors for the same pattern. (autohypnosis)

3) Brands
Don't judge me - yet. I'm not Gucci or Prada when its about shopping. I mean, they are still out of my league. It's embarrassed to admit but I have sharp eyes when it comes to quality of the material (given the history of me in clothing).

4) Fitting
With the height of mine, its hard to find clothes that can fit me well. (Unless they have XS for men.) Therefore, when I can find something that fits me well, I might not think twice purchasing. (failed again)

5) Limited Edition
That means only a few people owned the same thing. It becomes special, precious, unusual, not common, cool.. etc etc.. So that explained the latest purchase:

I was supposed to "have a look" at the Adidas limited edition Star Wars collection shoes

I tried it on, it fits me well, but I told myself I can't afford it. Yes, I did. Then they have something else for me.

6) Membership Card
WTF! Its like the promoter can read my mind! That is one fucking killing factor that affects all my judgements when it comes to shopping. So she offered me a membership card with the purchase of RMXX and above. Damn! How can I say no!? I tried again and again on the shoes, I ended up dropping it off and walked away from the store bought another pair of shoes that looks better on me. Epically failed! So this are the pair of shoes I fell for. Sigh. With the membership of course.



Overspent again. Sigh.
