Posted a post previously on what is in my wardrobe and so here's why.
Why is is that a girl does not shop for some proper clothes and follow up with the trends?
The reasons are as follows:
1. Better investment of time
Comparing to shopping for hours, I would rather stay home and rest for hours. Or even, sit in a restaurant and have a good buffet for hours. Having to work 7 days in a week, can you imagine how precious getting a day off or half day off is?!
2. Uniform V.S home clothes
I work as playgroup teacher in the morning and NTUC cashier in evening and weekends. I put on my oversized school uniform most mornings and get into my black polo with jeans on Wednesday and weekends. So, the only days that I need to put on a pretty home clothes are days where I manage to wake up early to doll up which is near to zero? Since that means I need to wake up at 6 a.m. to reach work at 8 a.m. Not forgetting the effort required to remove the make up after a long day of work.
3. Bad fashion sense
I think my fashion sense is so bad that no one bothers letting me know about it any more. I will probably match a purple top with pink short and walk on the street thinking I look awesome or get the latest trend for dressing like after at least 3 months. So I gave up spending money getting clothes that I soon realise is not nice AT ALL.
4. Waste of money
I only shop at Bugis street because that is where you get to buy decent clothes that are at $10 - $15 which can last me for at least 3 months. In fact, mine always last more than a year though I wear it at last once a week last time. I can't bring myself to get anything more expensive than that given my bad fashion sense. Imagine spending $30 and above to grab a dress then to realise its fugly and have to let it go to waste?
Given my pay scheme now, $30 means having to stand for 5 - 6 hour of cashiering to exchange for that one shirt that I just wear for once or twice which I find completely not worth it.
So I guess I can only blame it on my bad fashion sense or my too busy work life to get some proper clothes to fill up my wardrobe. Or perhaps I am just too stingy to spend my hard earn money on clothes when I don't really need it to begin with. I am more than thankful that I am a freelance model with good photographers who gives me some clothes and advice on my dressing. If not, I think my wardrobe will be even more empty right now HAHA.
