The Budget Tai-tai in me!

The economy has not been looking good lately with the GDP expecting to dip by at least 2% than earlier projections. The crunch is being felt everywhere and everyone is fearing of losing their jobs. Businesses are bad everywhere with many fashion retailers complaining of a drop in their sales revenue. I believe in these bad times, our little 'auntie' mentality kicks in. You know, those aunties at the markets who bargain for things to be at least 10 cents cheaper! Well, I think my little 'auntie' within me has woken up! I've become a budget tai-tai. As such, I have been around and about looking for the best deals in town.

Just recently, my sister and I made a trip down to Marina Square and hold and behold, CLUBMARC are having huge sale. When I say huge, I mean like really H-U-G-E! Everything was going at like 70% off. It was my first time ever in CLUBMARC and I never knew their clothes are pretty darn cheap! I mean I bought this pair of pants for only SGD59.90! I think those are my cheapest pair of pants ever!


Also, for those of you who love your printed tees, my next find is definitely for you! Over the weekend, we decided to visit Sculpture Square to shop! Yes, Sculpture Square! There was this flea market where 30% of the profits go to the MILK Fund. So, why not do our part and help the less fortunate? (Well, it makes splurging more meaningful!) Anyway, I managed to get this Paul Smith polo-T there! Is not the pink gorgeous?


(By the way, this is not me! I do not look like that! I may have put on a lil bit of weight but I am still way slimer than that!)

Of course all of you who love your Paul Smith, Paul Frank and all your graphic tees would have freaked out! Apparently, these t-shirts are being brought in by duc-tape. It is rumoured that they might be designing their own t-shirts next year, so we will have to wait and see! Go and check out their sites and drop them your details and they can update you on their latest arrivals. Visit them here.
