Oh gawd, I just blew about $600 on a tailor-made cashmere coat and a pants suit. And I’ll probably have a shirt made as well. So more money will be burnt. And this also means no more massages for me during this trip.
So now time to justify my purchases. Why do I need a cashmere coat? ‘Cos I don’t have a nice winter coat that’s really warm. You know, something that’s more dressy than a windbreaker. ‘Cos every woman needs one to complete her wardrobe? Something like the little black dress of winter wear? But why do I need a cashmere coat when I spend most of my time in Singapore? Errr….(*sheepish look*)….’cos sometimes I travel to Beijing during winter for work? I seriously nearly froze to death in Beijing in January without a good winter coat. And I might want to go for a ski trip? I think I’ll need to plan for a winter holiday now just to justify my purchase.
Why do I need a pants suit then? Well, I don’t have one at the moment. And I figure there will come a time I’d need it for work. So far, my job doesn’t require me to dress up much, but I think it’d good to have one on hand. Right right?????
I wanted to make a cheongsam top too. But the samples the tailor and his two female assistants brought weren’t nice. If I had chosen any one of those fabrics, I’d end up looking like a waitress in a Chinese restaurant.
I hope and pray that my bonus next year will be good!!!
