In between managing to fall ill after a good night of clubbing (which is happening all too frequently now, unless you count the fact that I haven't been 100% healthy ever since the beginning of May) and hauling my sick self to work on Monday, I managed to fit in some shopping - the incredibly affordable and immensely satisfying kind, not the S$150+ splurge due to work stress sprees I'm rather prone to these days (most recently the one on Friday where I spent that much on a matching bra & panty set and an ethnic dress).

My flea market haul consisted of:

• Red lace-up peasant camisole (Topshop) - S$5
• Little black dress (Tattoo by Andy, a local designer brand) - S$2
• Long fushia dress (the label said Gigli which was worth the price, even if the dress wasn't as interesting as it is) - S$2
• CD: Robbie Williams - Swing When You're Winning - S$5

But the one item I would have paid what I paid for everything I bought that day is:

• Brand new mint green lingerie top (Old Navy) - S$5 (photo to be added later)

I've been dying for one of these ever since I saw them in the Victoria's Secret catalogues (which I never receive despite my persistently requesting them. I think my postman/neighbour steals them.). And now, in spite of the fact that it's in the same shade as a heck of a lot of tops I've been buying lately and am actually a little sick of by now, I'm happy.

As with every flea market purchase though, I ended up with two Guess tops which are a little too small for me. Dang. So much for my optimism in US sizes.

Exchange between fellow flea marketing friend and I:
Me: Does this shade of red go with my skin tone?
Friend: Well, the can of Coke you're holding doesn't clash, so it should be all right.
