Then comes the guilt when you realised you burned through $500 in under an hour.
My name is Swah and I am a shopaholic.
Thankfully I am very talented at justifying my purchases. I have just ripped out around 20 pieces of clothing from my wardrobe to sell on eBay (stay tuned for auction links in the coming week). And also our lovely prime minister Kevin Rudd will soon be handing out $900 to me as part of the government's stimulus package. I am just doing my bit to help Australia and stimulate the economy!
About half of the money spent on the weekend was on a skirt. I don't usually spend that much on a skirt but this one was special. As soon as I had seen images of it plastered up around the city I had to stop and gasp, in awe of its beauty. I MUST have it. Unfortunately the rest of Sydney seemed to think the same thing, and by the time I had gotten to the store Cue it was sold out! I visited a few other Cue stores around Sydney but sadly the story was the same, they were either sold out or had an impossibly small or large size remaining.
Then, whilst casually browsing through the Cue concession at Myer on Saturday, I spotted a bit of houndstooth fabric poking out from a rack. I grabbed it, preying to various gods that it was in my size but holding out little hope... But thankfully the fashion gods were feeling gracious that day and YES it was in my size!! Success!! I patted myself on the back. Now bask in its glory:
Houndstooth, pencil skirt, high waisted, giant bow. It ticks all the right boxes! Although I will never look as hot at the delicious Cue model Jessica Hart, I can damn well try. For more delicious outfits from cue (and gorgeous fashion drawings) check out www.cue.ccxx Love Swah
