second Saturday in the UK
first in London
after a long long week of classes
it’s time to go survey London for real
marketing survey to be exact
that’s what I specialize in
3 motivations to go today
and not tomorrow or next week:
- making full uses of our weekly travel card
- getting the souvenirs for others (fakefully)
- seeing London for real, before travelling elsewhere for the weekends to come
9.30 in the morning
we are considered late, already
because Primark opens at 8.30 a.m.
the one located at Oxford Street is
the second biggest in the whole of the U.K.
the biggest is,
I would proudly announce,
the one in Manchester
which I have already gone to last Saturday
will blog about it later on, for sure
queuing for the fitting room
the maximum amount allowed
per fitting session is eight
sadly, I threw one top out of my trolley
and one other hitched a ride into the fitting room
with Queen Atillah
I know I look ridiculous
but that’s the best I can dress up
given the weather and the insufficient clothes
4 layers
blazer - cardigan - flora cropped tank - tank top
finally,
that’s something more like it
I was doubtful about the fitting session
will coldness immediately attacks
when I wear something like this
thank goodness, I guess there are heaters around
I have been looking for chambray denim shorts
all over back in Malaysia
but hate the haggard kind with see-through holes
and sometimes the price is not lovely enough
and so much more
super skinny jeans
my pair (got it from a lousy cheap store)
is getting looser and looser
that it is no longer a pair of skinny jeans
I wear it as if it is a pair of Capri, instead
and guess what
this pair I am trying on now on
costs lesser than my loser jeans
but of better quality
this is another pair
super skinny
ultra soft super skinny
which is more like a pair of jeggings
my kind of blue
my kind of cotton material
I thought it is a mini dress
turned out to be a pair of romper
it’s for my boss sis
they call it playsuit here
it appeared that
my issue with long dress is not over yet
it’s always looking nice, hanging there on display
but doesn’t look good on me
I don’t know,
probably simple because I don’t like something
flowing here and there below my knee
same things go to jeans as well
whereby I would always fold them up
to become 9/10 jeans
instead of touching my ankle
contrasting the long dress
this is the right thing
another colour, turquoise
is something I have never tried
actually
we were supposed to go Harrod’s
after the Primark visit
but can’t really go on
these loots are giving our hands a bit of troubles
anyway
after unloading the loots
we came out straight
and both realized we have something in mind
which forgot to buy
even after that many loots!!!
so stopped by the second round again
within 2 hours
because we had to
change to another bus
right here in front of Primark
there were more people
compared to few hours back in the morning
so glad that we were done
loots of the Primark adventure:
in total 21.50 pounds
the white plan canvas is only costing me 2.50 pounds
chambray denim shorts – 5 pounds
faded super skinny jeans – 11 pounds
super skinny black jeans – 7 pounds
ultra soft super skinny – 11 pounds
the reason being that I bought both is
black jeans can be easily be in disguised
as a formal pants
dresses
4 & 5 pounds respectively
bought them all
in preparation of “borrowing”
from my boss sis
from the men’s department
16 pounds, discounted to 10 pounds
at least I don’t have to wear my Mickey hoodies
have been wearing it straight for a week
I don’t really know why I bought this
but this is so fun right
and it is not something you see everywhere on the street
unlike the pink cat or
the flocks of frustrated birds
but actually
I am that kind of person
who always pack bags-within-bag
pouches especially
5 pounds for this
wow, can grab 5 at Daiso
I know right…
one pound belt
it’s the leather colour simple slim kind
because I have an one and only pair
but it goes with practically everything
souvenirs area:
dresses with bows for my niece, Jazmine
2.50 pounds each
she wears a lot of this
and even if she grows taller
mini dresses can still be worn
as long top, with a pair of leggings
new-born jacket
for the new member of the family
coming soon…
it’s strange that
I bump into Hello Kitty toothbrush set again
and this is for their mom
it’s always difficult to buy stuffs for her
always complaining
yet ready to “borrow” my clothes
even before I got to wear them
and I ended up not seeing them again
for besties Cheryl
she is a fan of zip-up sandal
and it appears that these things are quite durable
but I can’t stand myself wearing them
it was a friend’s birthday yesterday
and he asked me to grab him a shirt
now come to look at it
I don’t feel like giving it to him
spent a total of 114 pounds
happily, crazily, relentlessly
and these are the “free gifts” Primark presented
to me, for being such a loyal customer
and boosting the economy of the U.K.
happiness is…
a sea of new clothes
p/ps
loots from the 2nd trip
the same tube dress for 4 pounds
half price
going once
going twice
alright, alright you are mine
The Muppets featuring
Miss Piggy fashionista cropped jumper
something I grabbed in the process of queuing
