Hauls from Local Brand ~ Part 2

There were a number of sales in the first quarter of the year. Being a budget shopper, I didnt miss these opportunities to buy more basics.

I was surprised that I could wear the clothes of these local brands. My perceptions of these brands only catered for the slim and skinny. It didnt come across to my mind that I could wear their stuff as my preference is geared towards European sizes.

'Sales' is the main attraction to these local brands and the retail price of each piece costed less than SGD 20.

Here are my loots from local brands such as BYSI and Mphosis. These include two dresses and a top.

Both the black dress as well as top were from the same series and were heavily discounted. Yup, the picture cant really reflect the length difference.

The other dress was also heavily discounted, too and I loved the combination of different materials. Had been eyeing on that dress when it was on sale. However, I didnt have the courage to try thinking that I was too big for it.

Finally, I decided to summon my courage to try the dress. To my astonishment, I could wear this and decided to buy it. The SA went to the store and got me a new piece that I could purchase. Sweet!

I've decided to use the following ingredients to transform from office to drinks after work:

Will blog about my Bianca shoes another day.

Wishing all Happy Holidays!

One of my current major loves

Time really flies and it's almost 1 month since SL and I started salsa. Simply love it and get learn new stuff every week. Though it's recreational, dance requires discipline.

Practice makes prefect really comes into place when you practise everyday.

As mentioned in the previous entry, finding that pair of dancing shoes had been occupying both SL and my minds. Time and effort spent in finding that elusive pair of ours.Went down to several shops that sell dancing shoes and left disappointed each time we left the shops. Couldnt find something that satisfied our budget and requirements.

Managed to find one (for ourselves) at a reasonable price. His is value for money while mine is relatively more expensive than those in OG Chinatown. Both pairs are priced at SGD 38 and these are found in Chinatown, too.

For his, there were only 3 sizes to choose from (38, 42 and 43). SL took 42 and it fitted like a glove. For ladies, there were only 3 colors to choose from at SGD 38 which were silver, golden and bronze. The blacks were sold at SGD 68. What a pity! There were black shoes sold at SGD 38 but the sizes were larger than mine. I've tried the gold as well as bronze and decided on bronze instead as it stood out than gold.

PS : Had yet to try my shoes to practise after trying it on Saturday. Getting lazier to practise.

Here are his and hers (shoes).
