Fashion Faux Pas

I'm having huge shopping withdrawal symptoms right now.

I haven't gone shopping since last September in Bangkok, and I didn't even do much damage then. I've only bought a pair of shoes and a jumper since then, because I was saving up for my 50mm lens. Even though the lens was only a hundred bucks, it was tough, because I can't save money to save my life. Now it's the start of a new school year, and I'm just itching to shop for a new wardrobe and say "new year, new me!" like a douchebag.

I just recently broke down and bought a pair of Toms from Gmarket, because I really do need a really casual pair of shoes that don't look like they're about to break down any time soon. I am also getting a pair of mid-high cut sneakers over the next month, because Poshism is now sponsored by Feiyue shoes! How exciting. But even despite all of that, I'm still craving for more shoes! Especially after the conversation I had with Nicolette and Kuan Hui, my soul is drooling over Doc Martens.

Any of these pairs please. I must own at least one of them.

Other things I really want to get more of are oversized jumpers, maybe a bandage skirt, and I really do *need* a structured canvas tote bag to use for school. I already have a lot of bags, but none that I can use and be able to carry my big water bottle, notebook, planner, chargers, and DSLR in comfortably. Oh, goodness. I can't wait to work and get paid.

I recently realized that I've been wearing the same thing over and over again when I go out. It seems kind of ridiculous and pretentious, but being in FMS makes me feel the need to dress up to school everyday. It's not the peer-pressure-I-will-be-uncool-if-I-don't-dress-up kind of need, but it just makes me want to dress up and look nice everyday. I just either can't be bothered to or do not have the resources to. Woe is me.

This year, I plan to not wear the same outfit in the same month. Not wear the same pieces if possible. I also aim to wear more accessories and things. And maybe stretch my ears and get 5mm tunnels. And a forearm tattoo. And a lip or tongue piercing. (Maybe if I wasn't so broke and a pussy) I just need to stop looking so boring and plain, and being broke.
