… gets to spend lots of money!

I stole this picture of the FJ Benjamin sale from Beetrice - sorry ah… too lazy and tired to find my own
Its called the “Great FJ Benjamin Branded Sale” but to us Malaysians, its “Yay! Its that La Senza/Guess warehouse sale!” and this year they even had Banana Republic and Gap in on the game.
I don’t know why they said it started on May 1 in the flyer - it only started today. I should know, I was there and everyone seemed clueless and the clothes etc were too orderly, not messed up. Even the La Senza bras were all lined up nicely according to size and bra cups! Anyone who’s been for a warehouse sale the day after opening day will know that you just find piles of clothes of mixed up sizes and brands and prices. Nothing is as orderly as it is on the first day.
So, what was I doing there? I was there for my annual replenishment of my affordable La Senza lingerie and pyjama wardrobe. Woohoo! PJs, sexy and not so sexy lingerie - they all have to last me at least a year
I was also hoping against hope to snag me a Banana Republic bag at a discount but all they had were bags from Guess and super over-priced bags from Raoul. Don’t get me started down that road! I have lots to say about them but some people might think me over critical of their taste
Anyway… what did I have to show at the end of it all? Other than comfy PJs and “unmentionables”, 1 Banana Republic wrap dress in black. Servicable, classic and marked down to RM200 from RM649.
Something like the one in the picture but with 3/4 sleeves and in black. I’ve been looking for a wrap dress for ever!
Edit: I found a picture of the dress I got! Picture it in black. Now, I NEED a pair of killer calf length boots! NEED!

Worth the early morning crush and the hangover feeling I’m having the whole day from lack of sleep?
Let me sleep on it and get back to you
Am I posting in the wrong blog about this? Ahh… I’m sure you enjoy reading about my crazy shopping exploits too right?!
And I’m attempting to bake a cake this weekend. Me? Bake? A cake?! Friend assures me its a fool proof recipe. I hope it truly is because I’m a baking fool!
Happy weekend everyone!
Yours fluffily

Hahaha…feel free to ‘borrow’ the image ma dear..
Rather scared to go for the sale seeing as how my colleagues have collectively ALREADY spent about RM2000 there…eeps!
Wah, the wrap dress very the nice. Gawd, it’s killing me, knowing it’s probably THE wrap dress I’d tried on and liked. But vart to do… must pack house.
Bring the cake you’re going to bake to my house, PB. I got cake craving right now. LOL
Great dress, definitely worth the morning crush, hangover, anything, .. you name it.
I can never go to sales event. Even at the “unsale” event I manage to overspend. I might need to sell my husband to go to this one.
I just got back from the Zara warehouse sale! Now you tell me about the Guess / La Senza warehouse sale? *gulp*
