Of Stripes and Fabrics

EDIT: HEY AYESHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

I've got my prom clothes!

Yes, the I know I'm a bit slow, but I did actually get my arse off my chair and get some decent pieces of kit. Which is pretty damn good considering I'd rather sit on this chair all day than set a foot out of the house.

Anyway, I got the clothes from Jusco at Mid Valley Megamall. Didn't get off too well though, because my mum chose the wrong time to be thrifty, refusing to spend more than RM500 (trust me, it's HARD) - even though it's a special occasion and I'm asking for one damn set of clothing.

One.

I know we should save money, but not to that degree...

Hell, she even asked me to get those el-cheapo shirts (i.e. RM40) that look dreadful and feel even worse. I was determined not to go anywhere near them, let alone in them.

Thankfully, Padini had some coats that were 50% off (!), which brought the price from RM380+ right down to a much more palatable RM194.50 (!!). That gave me room to get a slightly more pleasing Seed shirt (RM98.10).


As for the slacks, well, they weren't so important, so I just grabbed one from a generic local brand (RM49). Totalled up, they cost RM341.60 - not cheap but a lot less expensive than what could've been.

So, that's it, then. Not too bad for a man (oh, alright, boy) who has all the financial skills of a government official. See you tomorrow.
