I decided against spending a small fortune on a dress which I most likely would not end up wearing for at least a year. So, I celebrate my saving S$244.30 by purchasing a couple of impractical, quirky, frivolous bags from Loop NYC. In my defence, one of them was a purchase on a friend's behalf, while the other may end up as a gift.

The girl who runs the stall selling the bags also sells her bags on her web site: Trufflebags. As the staff are rather friendly and because the stall is conveniently located right beneath my office, I'll probably go back time and again until it packs up this weekend to look at the two bags I've got my eyes on.
