Sleeping with the eyes open

Never get sick of shopping. People always ask me where do I buy my clothes? How do I store them? How come I don't wear the same thing twice?

To be honest, I think I could survive a year without doing laundry. Even if I have to change my clothes everyday without washing any I will still have something clean to wear. That is how severe my addiction to shopping is. I wouldn't say that I must shop but I couldn't stand not buying something that I found I like. May not be something that I need but it's always something that I want at that time. Most of the items are impulsive buys which I end up leaving them in my closet untouched. These items still have tags on - I think the resell value is there because the tag is still on hehe.

But being a working adult, I simply do not have the time to shop. The industry I'm in is so demanding and competitive I always end up pulling my hair at work if it's not my clients' hair. Otherwise I'll sleep with my eyes open like this...

Now, where do I get my clothes from then? Online of course! It's so convenient nowadays with online boutiques just a click away. However, due to quality issues I'd prefer the overseas online boutiques especially the ones with free international shipping. I have been visiting ASOS and TOBI. ASOS is UK based with international presence where TOBI is based in the US. They both offer free international shipping and so far I am very happy with the quality of clothes and services. However, due to the free international standard shipping, the items only arrive after a month or so. What's worse is that it is not advisable to order above RM500 per parcel to avoid custom checks and additional tax payment upon receiving the goods.

The problem with online shopping is that you keep on adding items to your shopping cart and before you even know it, you have like 46475474543525239 items in it. It's such a chore to go through one by one trying to remove something out of it to suit your budget. I mean it is almost impossible to convince yourself that you do not need that another pair of skinny jeans or another piece of crop top - I mean afterall, they are in your shopping cart for a reason! Trust me, this is harder than convincing your boyfriend/husband to watch Gossip Girls with you on a Sunday night. What's worse is that they are updating with new arrivals every few days! Being broke sucks. I am still waiting for my parcel from ASOS to arrive as we speak.
