out & about

i was so tired that i only woke up at 12noon today. i could keep on sleeping but decided i will not waste the saturday moping in bed. made some calls, booked an appointment at toni & guy for a haircut and spent the day wandering around the city.

put on one of my favourite lazy get ups: burberry prorsum 2 in 1 sweater

black cheap monday skinny jeans bought from adora in manila. 50% off, i bought 2 pairs! this is my first ever pair of black jeans. i've always resisted buying black jeans just like i've always detested celery but i love them now. i guess it's coming of age...

one of my favourite coats from burberry prorsum fall winter 2007.

and my favourite lazy get up and go shoe: paul smith cloth sneakers

the webcam pics probably doesn't do much justice to the coat, but the above were taken in the dressing room of H&M. i love the rich military green hue as well as the details on the back. the manager at YSL commented that my coat was nice, i sure hope he meant it and wasn't just being polite!

and here's a similar coat on the runway but mine's without the lapels and cuffs details. love the way he belts the coat but i don't think i will ever pull off the look.

and here's what i came back with.

there's a tinge of guilt from the shopping, we don't know when this recession will end. but my friend said to me we should celebrate, celebrate that we are still in employment, celebrate life. we can keep moping and worrying about potential future job losses, but there's no meaning in life if we let that call from HR takeover. and so i spent a little money today, i bought stuff that i could wear to work, a reinvestment of sorts, a reminder that i will have to work even harder to safeguard my future.

there's a lot to be thankful for. dress up put on a smile and greet the world!
