Rant: Impulsive Buying

Impulsive buying is an enemy. MUST.STOP.NOW.

As much as I don't want to make a post out of this, there's no one I could vent this out to. It's stressing me out! Funny that the only people I could talk to right now about this whole "rant" thing are two guy friends online. Like they care about anything I'm saying!. (April, this goes out to you! Where are you?)

So yesterday was a friend's birthday and she invited us out to dinner. As mentioned in my last post, we were to come in black. I bought the dress from Veronica's Closet and had it shortened. But then I totally underestimated my size that when I got them, I realized I looked like an egg roll! So I called up a friend who is also going to the party to ask if we really are to come in black because if not, I could just grab some random dress from my closet. She told me that it's now okay if we come in whatever color. I had this floral dress in mind. All I need is a wide brown belt and I'm good to go. Two hours before THE dinner, I met up with Micor in SM to get the birthday girl a present. We also checked out some dresses in a couple of stores because Micor wasn't so sure what to wear either. Then Meme came; she wanted to get a dress for herself too. I was looking at their finds and I was like " I will really look granny-ish tonight!"

What to do?
Get yourself a new dress too!

Wow, it all happened so fast. Before I knew it, I was at the counter already, handing a basic black dress to Micor. A black dress I'm not even proud to show to everyone. I had no problems with it until I saw our pictures. So I'm in a remorse mode right now. I could have gotten myself a better dress, something fun and not flat. Something I wouldn't just hang in the closet to age. It was totally an unplanned purchase and definitely not a good find.

Anyhoo, we had fun. The dinner was at Port Seafoods, Waterfront. It was a buffet and I'm proud to announce I did not eat rice! And I did not get out of the restaurant full. Woohoo!!! We went to Loft, then Pier One and Formo after for some cocktails. It was all good, well, except for my dress.

I sound too shallow with this post. I jsut find it "sayang" - me buying a dress I don't like when most of the time I just go thrift shopping. Sigh.
