I was quite uninspired to buy new clothes this Chinese New Year.
My mother told me, “帽子这些就不用买。穿normal一点。”
(Translation: Please don't buy anymore caps and hats and such. Dress more normally, okay.)
Digression: Me not dressing 'normal'?! WTH. The worse thing my mother said was, “裤子不要买tight-tight的。” (Don't buy tight pants.) Dammit, I can't help but like wearing 'tight pants' or more soundly known as skinny jeans... As far as I'm concerned, I take pride in my dress sense and am in no way 'abnormal'.
Cousin Kex was like saying my mother should see more of her and her brother, so my mother wouldn't be so stuck with the mainstream type of mindset. Anyways...
So I decided to just buy plain tees. And the only place I know that has good quality plain tees is Urban Junkie and Far East Plaza. I cannot live with cheap, mass produced tees.
I only rely on my trusted Standard American Apparel tees.
Oh, it was a nice surprise because Urban Junkie got a facelift. More boutique, less treasure trove. Haha! It was nice to see the Nooka watches being respectably displayed in a glass cabinet.
Anyways, I wasn't letting 'plain tees' get away so easily. I had to go for colour.
Three colours to be exact! Haha! I really only wanted to buy 2, but apparently if I were to get a third one, I get a discount. So instinctively I just grabbed 3 tees. (3 crew-neck tees at S$78.95)Vainglorious colours eh? You just feel different when you're in a solid block of intense passionate colour.
Embrace your peaches, cranberries and plums, people!
P.S. Intense doses of colours like that instantly cheer me up. And believe me, I'm down like anything you've never believed in. So believe it anyways. (Sheesh, what am I talking about?!)
