a post about nothing in particular

as of now i need to stop spending money because every time i see money in my bank i just want to deplete it. this time courtesy of CNY i actually have money in my bank BUT i have in less than a week spent it on completely unnecessary things such as:

1) extravagant massages in bali and pointless drives

2) TOO MUCH "WORK CLOTHES" - i hate myself for this. on one hand i know i need clothes for work but on the other hand i wonder if i'm just telling myself this because i want to buy new clothes...i mean obviously i need proper work clothes (whatever that means, too young and inexperienced to know the boundaries of office wear) but i've really been buying everything i see online with a decent hemline with the excuse that i need it for official work reasons....never mind that i'll probably do litigation and have to wear black and white for the rest of my life.

3) random screen prints that i imagine would look good propped carelessly around a room/office (all this for another post)

4) nose piercings i will just lose again

5) clothes or have i mentioned this before. anything that warrants the line in my head "if i dont buy this now i'll never come across anything similar that i want as bad ever again" - always realize in retrospect i am wrong on the 2nd pt

in the spirit of my excessive clothes binge i shall post pictures of all the clothes that i considered to be decent enough for my office wear (because i have done much scouring on the internet), 90% of which my mom insulted:

1)



La Made striped dress..probably the most decent thing i could find. but blue is my inauspicious colour

2)



linen dress in blue...again avoiding this colour. but it looks so comfy :'(

3)




field binder dress

4)



everyone's insulting this dress but i see potential!!! its a jacquard print so it tends to look more luxe than the price? (clearly read too much into clothes) from asos

5)



i knew i shouldnt have hesitated when i saw this on sale with the last piece IN MY SIZE. time waits for no one friends, NO ONE. i just wasnt sure if the material was t-shirt cotton bc then it would look too casual/cheap for work.. from something else :'(

6)


















HAHA ovary panties....so funny but i dont think anyone should be able to see this (if i wear my clothes correctly? a la not pulling a anne hathaway)...not sure if i can consider this under office wardrobe but it literally is ha ha ha

7)



another shirt almost everyone i asked an opinion from insulted, because "the colour is fugly and cutting like boy" (in paul's grammatically questionable words). but i think its lovely and unique!!!!!!!! i love the yellow collar contrast! if you zoom in there are gold threads amongst all those pastel-y colours. also its woven, wa! from ace and jig.

8)



this freaking cute lauren moffat striped dress! if i wore this i'd be like" shentonista take a photo of me strutting around CBD already!"

lol

 9)



random landscape shift dress that looks very nice but i also wonder if my frame will just drown in the detail....by APOM

10)



relatively decent looking mesh snake tee, something else. might be too pretty and boring

11)





another shift dress in a ridiculous print i strangely love alot.

everything above is about less than a 100! max 200 i think.

basically, i've just been buying clothes in ridiculous prints and colours. no idea why. i cant wear too much of those solid coloured office wear in stiff traditional cuts. i'd die a little inside, on top of having to sit in an office for half a day under florescent lights while wearing sensible court shoes (none of that jeffrey campbell-esque shit allowed for the rest of your life if you're a office minion in a typical straight-laced firm).

but i digress. and grow sleepy so i cannot continue this frivolous list (that stretches on infinitely) of office clothes i've picked out. i'm pretty sure most of them are NOT really office clothes ahahaha but i dont see why anyone should interfere. if i do my job and am not indecently exposed in my sartorial choices....then i'll wear whatever the hell i want!!!!!!!!!!
