I rarely buy things on a whim. Usually the process is quite methodical; I pick the item off the rail and go to the changing room for an intense scrutinizing period. I assess the fit of the garment, the potential for staining, ripping, shrinking etc. I create at least three possible outfits that the item could create or add to, with clothes already in my wardrobe. And for the final stage, I come out of the changing room, do two laps around the shop and if I'm still convinced, I buy it, as long as it's under a tenner. (I'm cheap, what can I say?)
This shirt was different. I saw it, screamed MARY KATRANTZOOOUUUU in my head, grabbed the smallest size and bought it. AAANNNDD it was £15. I know, I know, employment has made me go nuts with my money. I even picked up a pair of wedge trainers on ebay for £25. I'll be bankrupt soon enough.
And on the same shopping trip, honest to God, I decided to absolutely splash out and get some new lipstick, as I'm getting sick of red. So with the pound signs in my eyes I picked up the new Revlon lip stain balm stuff in a fairly fluorescent orange shade. (wearing above) For the first hour or so it looked great but when I nipped to the bathroom to have a look, my face appeared clown-like. The orange was taking over my face. The residue made it look like I'd eaten a bag of carrots, taken an allergic reaction, had a seizure and foamed at the mouth. Attractive eh? I think I'm better on a budget.
