and why not?
Ive done it again! As hard as I had tried to avoid the temptation (ahh the lustrous temptation) of shopping online, I just couldnt keep myself from browsing around on ASOS.com again. This time in search of cute lil’ summer dresses – which by the way, they do have the most I-want-it-now collection!
After my last ASOS purchase and very expensive “customs encounter” this time I kept my purchase to a minimum, and instead of trying to cram in as much as I could into one order, I bought only what I wanted right now. I also split my order over two purchases and opted for the 10Pound delivery charge on each as apposed to the 20Pound delivery to get it here faster – last time it was delayed at customs for way longer, so I’ll just have to be a good little girl and wait!
One of my purchases (which I’m still waiting for before you ask me to Tweet it or load it up :)) was this magnificent, pure silk Chilli Pepper Marble printed dress.
A dress which I certainly think was worth way more than R283.00 (£26.00) I paid. We are after all, talking about silk here, although the dress was marked down from £100.00 (a gob-smacking-oh-my-gawsh-I-scored R1000).
A friend thought I was crazy, first to shop online and also to spend “so much” on a dress. Huh? Where in the world do you find a dress (thats gorgeous and SILK for crying out loud) for anything under R1000? When I explained that it was silk, the response was “yes but do you need a silk dress” – the answer – YES!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t dresses supposed to make you feel totally fabulous, not just look good on the outside? These days I find myself giving into purchases that feel as good as they look. Perhaps Im getting older (or wiser as they say), but Im over spending money on cheap thrills, even though I did bag this baby for a bargain!
