Benita and her lovely team of writers at Seventeen were lovely enough to have me in their issue for the second time in three months! The main story for Seventeen's July issue was "Be a Budget Babe," which was all about shopping smart during the annual GSS (Great Singapore Sale). For those of you who aren't local, GSS is basically when every single store has a massive sale, and everyone just shops and shops and shops!
However, like I said in my little paragraph, it's important that the usual shopping rules still apply (even though price tags have been shredded into microscopic bits and you just want to buy everything in sight simply because you can). Buying a fully priced pair of shoes for $100 is going to make you happier than buying three damaged or ill-fitting shirts/accessories for $100. Exercise quality control, and be careful with impulsive buys; the choices you make when there are neon price tags and huge signs all around you, filling your head with the idea that everything within your reach is worth every dollar it costs... yeah, hate to be a party-pooper, but choices in those circumstances tend to be the ones you regret later.

ReplyDeleteFirst of all- Congrats on being featured in Seventeen Mag again!!!! :) I'm very happy for you!!
ReplyDeleteThese are great tips! I always buy something that doesn't necessarily fit me properly because I always think that 'I can make it work'. And honestly those pieces just end up collecting dust in my closet.
