I had a great
weekend, with a lot of feasting and some shopping :-). The shopping part was
quite controlled (maybe too controlled) but the feasting was just OTT. Since
Ramadan is starting in a few days, and I’m going to be fasting from dawn to
dusk for the next 30 days, I’m letting go for now.
Some of you might
think that fasting for 30 days is an effective way to lose weight. Losing
weight?? Yes, definitely. I lose anything from 2-5 kg during this holy month. Effective
weight loss?? No way. I gain back all the lost weight the day after Eid.
Anyway, about my
shopping haul. I did hit the sales, but to tell the truth, was kind of
disappointed. Not a lot of nice stuff on sale, though I did score some. I found
my top priority item: my workout shoes from Adidas.
Cross Trainers with
a strong heel and good lateral support. Love them.
I wanted a few
tops, but didn’t find many that I really liked. I finally picked up this
comfortable brown top from Westside:
It appears quite
red in the picture, but is actually brown.
I had set my eyes
on a few accessories at Westside prior to the sale and was extremely pleased to
find them marked down :-). So, they came home with me.
A stack of floral
bangles:
And a necklace with
little jangly stars:
Yup, that’s all I
got so far. I didn’t find my perfect pair of jeans and wasn’t satisfied with
any of the wedges I saw. I’m still on the lookout for those wardrobe basics,
while Cub stocked up on clothes and toys.
How have you guys
fared with the sale so far?? Satisfied or disappointed? Or yet to launch an
attack??

ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean, in fact the hubs has banned me from carrying Cub when wearing that necklace!!! He says it's a weapon!! At least no eve teasing jerk will come within a foot of me :-)
Deletebangles bangles...i heart em...So disappointed with sales
ReplyDelete:(..Went to lifestyle yesterday , I must say I didn't score much from sales and ended up buying tops which had just 5-15% off...my friend who hit the sales on day 1 texted me saying it was more like a sabji baazaar than a shop
I know, I visited Lifestyle too. It was a mess, and I simply couldn't think straight. Do post pics of your stuff!!
