It's a boiling Saturday, when stepping out felt like stepping into a furnace, literally!!!!
But still I made myself visit 313 cz there's a special event that stirred up my curiosity and excitement at the same time: THE SWAP!!!! The T&Cs is basically you bring some of your pre-loved fashion items (clothes, accessories, shoes, watever) to the event, exchange vouchers and use them to get other equal value finds from others!!! The concept sound familiar? yet I've never atttended any of this kind. So i was eager to see it!!! there I came, the event was held at Sky Terrace, up at level 5 of 313, out of Food republic, outdoor, with greenery and no AC~~~~ As a matter of fact, the heat took its toll. I went there around 3pm, contribute my clothes and all, didnt really qualify the stock available on the racks behind me. Soon, I realised that's the biggest mistake of the day.
After let go the good dear Carlo Rino white bag that I like but never use, my dear brogue that I adore but almost torn, and several pieces that I cherish but dont fit me well at all. Oh yea, and I gotta say goodbye to the Everbest pair of black pumps as well, coz they hurt and not my age to the least. Actually I dont even understand why i bought them in the first place. Getting rid of them was sad but It's the first step to decluttering my closet, or else someday it would drive me nuts.
So I instantly felt lighter after receiving the vouchers of mid-priced and best value from the assistant. Then I headed to the flea market at Scape. Well, that was massive. It extended from the basement to the small trail leading to the mall. Stalls were everywhere, all over. Racks of clothes, tables of accessories and bags and shoes lying on the floor recklessly. It smelled just like a Flea market. Everything was hot, hot and HOT!!! My list include cardigan, a nice bag and great shorts, some tees if they were nice enough. I wandered around for more than 1 hour, came across plenty of nice items, but my meticulous consideration held me back, of the funky purple over size bag from The EXotic twin sisters; the leopard print sheer jacket from the the-blackbeauty; the cute cream fur sling bag at the antique stall; the super cool $12 studded x zipped white cardigan at the front stall; and many more. I didnt get any of them... *sigh* coz what I wanted now is to simplify my life, not to complicate it with excessive unnecessary things. Thus I just left them all behind with pity, promise myself that someday I'm gonna make a lot of money to buy anything I like...
Back to the Green'n'Gorgeous event at sharp 5, I was a bit surprised that not many people participating this. The line was pretty short, and some girls were still contributing their few pieces of watsoever. Then I could truly experience the heat when the number of guests increased. There were two Indonesians, I guess, picked almost all of my items, which made me feel blissful, that my taste was liked by others, more than alot. On my side, I hardly be able to select any, coz the choice was kinda limited. Most items were for women my mom's age, and they were all size L. In the middle of utter boredom, I found a green AE top, an adorable pair of shorts in orange shade, and another feminine green top from Mango, and a cuff with purple sparkling stones. I though that should be enough, bringing too many home would create the same dilemma again. The event had some tiny cupcakes for refreshment. There were around 6-7 kinds, but just tasted plain same and boring. Couldnt bear the speaker from The Face Shop with her utmost dull show, I checked out to proceed to other venues on my list. I was quite happy with what I found already though. And the goodie bag they gave us was kinda cute too, with an organic soap, a recycle small bag, magazine and a bottle of water.
My next location was The Cathay, I wanted to find Catalog mag so I walked around trying to find the distributor. Fortunately enough, I had a chance to observe a moment of rare and juicy odd: One piece of rubber slipper was stuck in the escalator, stretched in a funny way but not as hilarious as the owner's face. The escalator was stopped in order to remove the stupid piece, I bet the guy must feel extremely humiliated when groups of people passing buy, pointed and giggled, and even took photos of it, like I did =))). Poor the fat kid!!!!Even his friend suggested my, do you wanna take photo of the victim?=))))
