I know this is very very overdue... It probably is supposed to be for last month or at least early this month, and February is almost over.. I am sooo sorry I got carried away with all the work in the world.. Soooo.... As promised, here comes my compilation of wardrobe fixes and damages. :)
First of all, my deepest apologies for the messy background/foreground. Secondly, I am sorry if the price (all in SGD unless stated otherwise) I quoted is wrong (it may have been on sale, or that it was a special offer period, or was just old). Thirdly, enjoy the pictures! Xoxo.
These are just done at random and for the fun of it. I hope it benefits. :)

And I don't shop on a regular basis. I probably do mass shopping in one month and stop shopping till the following year or even longer. And IF I have the urge to shop, I made sure I do some giving away of my old still in good condition clothes away. If I cannot part with them, then there will be no shopping required. It is just my principle, and it comes with tough love. I literally bite my finger sometimes to just stop myself. This curbing to shop requires more than just discipline especially for the old me who shopped every month, and wont stop till she hit hundreds in each shop. I was very impulsive (I probably still am). I can shop for something just because it is unique, and then find no use to it after awhile.
Now, it is a different game ball. I go in a shop, see something nice, take a photo (if it is permissible), and exit the shop... Take a cooling measure, distract myself. If I still keep thinking about it, I will send the photo to the husband and ask him if I need it and should get it. If he says no, then I will delete it and forget about it. (I used to have much difficulty doing this, but it got into a habit after a long while)
Sometimes, I do that many many times, and only send the picture over to the husband after my 5th attempt or so. This is especially if it is to shop for a footwear. Probably because I have sensitive smelly feet... I am a slipper person, so a sandal or shoe usually end up chucked into the shoe cabinet only to be worn once a year or so.
My husband have very strong control over his finances, and probably only shop once a year. So he was the best person for me to lean on to help me convince myself out of buying something I don't really need. For the past 5 years, he has been doing a great job at that. Except for my online shopping - which is still done on impulse. I am working on it!
Bags, it has been a long long while since I bought a bag. Most of my everyday bags are my self-crocheted bags! All thanks to Allah SWT for granting this talent to me. I am just hard to please of late, no bag is perfect enough, no shoe practical enough, no clothes cheap and modest enough...
My dressing sense can be crazy most of the times. And most of my clothes lasted me for decades, thanks to my body who never seemed to grow too much.
I think I would do all my jubah outfit someday... A compilation of all my Jubahs perhaps..
So until then,
Wassalam,
Jun
