Coat Hunting |
Autumn is here and the gloomy rainy weather is getting too cold for my liking. Being a true blue Singaporean, who is very used to my hot tropical weather throughout the year, I will choose humid sweaty heat over dry bone chilling cold ANYTIME. (except maybe when skiing)
With the change in weather, I am so desperately in need of a nice warm coat, not that I have none, just that being a typical woman, it is always good to have new clothes in your wardrobe to go with the season, and it just seem so IMPOSSIBLE to explain this simple logic to my other half.
As much as I love to have nice clothes in my wardrobe, I can be quite lazy when it comes to shopping, I used to ’steal’ clothes from my sis’s wardrobe as it was so much easier to choose from a narrow down selection where the ’sieving’ through has been done. But gone were those days and my shopping companion. I am now left pretty much on my own to do the hunt as you can consider the duo in my household as inexistent when it comes to shopping.
So on Saturday, with my duo entertaining each other in the big mall, roller scootering and snacking, I spent a good 5 to 6 hours shopping, purely on coat hunting. I think I searched through every corner of the ZARA and MANGO boutiques, not once but twice! and I couldn’t find anything worthy enough to dump my money. It was so frustrating to think that I had wasted so much time and energy. I ended up with some good summer clothing, more to appease myself and to console myself that it is not such a fruitless day after all.
In an attempt to continue the hunt, I google for ‘winter coat’ over the net and found that most of the online shopping sites were in the States and it is one of those things that I missed about the States, the SHOPPING!
I am so drooling over some of the winter coats from VS. Then again, with figures like theirs, I will look good even with a 10 bucks coat from the market stall!

Wah…..shopping is fun and looking at the latest fashionable clothings are all that much fun too!
Now, if only we have the $$ for maybe 2 ya!
i know what you mean…trying winter coats is no fun…so big and bulky …
I’m afraid of cold too but i rather “suffer” a little to be able to enjoy those 4 seasons that SG don’t have.. so nice to have winter clothings…those coats..O..just make me drool…
hey, sounds like me you're talkin about..: ) happens to have some great jackets sitting in my wardrobe collecting dust..guess if we are still staying under the same roof, u will be questioned for the missing pieces..hee hee..
Think it's kinda of cool to boot up, get the coat & gloves on for this seasonal change since u'll never get this chance to do so back home..so shop "Harder" & hopefully ur hard work will pay off soon..btw which woman will complain of having too much clothing.. as long as there's room for them…least not for me.: )
Those VS jackets looking Hot…well, go forth and make yourself a happy woman! u deserve it : ) Miss ya!
awww i don’t think that you’ve a bad figure, come on… just go ahead and indulge yourself on that VS nice coat… *wink*
Babe, can help you get from VS and ship to you if its cheaper! I love the VS coats too… Have 2 pieces myself!
i’ve never complain of NOT getting new clothes hahaha, but my other half thks my wardrobe is going to “burst” anytime and still i think my clothes are not enough hahaha…women with their love for clothes!
yeah i used to search for winter coats in ZARA and MNG as well…i prefer MNG cos i’m petite and MNG sizes fits me better than ZARA’s.
omg, luckily i’m not staying in a 4seasons country…otherwise i will be shopping every season for new clothes, and seriously i need to hv a bigger place to accommodate all my clothes!
i can live without diamonds, golds and posh cars…but i can’t live without new and trendy clothes! hahahaha…
so go out there again and search for the prefcet winter coat for yourself…i’ve been searching for weeks for a perfect dress for my upcoming daughter’s bday party this saturday…and finally i found it last week! it takes hours/days/weeks to find something we like!
ya man! with figures like that…nothing will look bad!
I’ve yet to try out winter clothings..or rather don’t think I’ll ever have the chance, ‘cos Allan says he is never gonna try what winter feels like. *sigh*
