Hey everyone!
It’s been such a long time since I wrote anything about apparel shopping so let’s take a short break from food posts, shall we? 🙂
Before that, I have a small confession as a shopaholic. I’m a compulsive shopper – that’s a known fact. Before I got obsessed with makeup, I used to go crazy on online shopping and would spend hundreds of dollars a week on clothes. My spendthrift ways became apparent when I was awarded the “VIP” status at Love, Bonito for being one of their top spenders in 2012. For that, I (together with a few other VIPs) was given priority over the rest in The Great Love, Bonito Sale in 2013 and was allowed to enter the room an hour ahead of everyone. No doubt it was such a rewarding experience and the privilege made me feel that all the spending was worthwhile.
Then, I had to return to school. I was forced to leave my full-time job and gradually, I started spending lesser on clothes (also because my wardrobes couldn’t take in anymore clothes and Bf was nagging incessantly at me for that) and of course, I also lost my “VIP” status on Love, Bonito.
Fast forward to October last year, I was given the opportunity to work at Love, Bonito after responding to their recruitment ad and successfully getting through the interview. I was their Photo Editor but because of school commitments, I had to leave the company after close to 4 months with them. It was one of my best working experiences and it kinda healed most of my scars from my previous long-term employment (which was beyond terrible. Read here). A few months had passed since I stepped foot into Love, Bonito office and I really missed working with the wonderful people there.
Just then, I received a text from one of my Love, Bonito ex-colleagues asking me if I was available to work during their warehouse sale in November. Without hesitation, I gave a positive reply. They must’ve heard me! Haha.
So yes, that’s just a short background story on how I got to work at the Year-End-Sale. It was a two-day event. Only two days and I felt like my legs were going to break. For days I couldn’t walk like a human being and I had to forgo my morning runs because my soles were hurting like crazy from running around non-stop at the event to replenish stocks at the racks. But that’s fine, because I really enjoyed myself! Met quite a number of great people, and of course, shopping at the sale also plays a great part in making the experience memorable 😀
Okay enough of rambles. Here are some of the event highlights!
We got to shop! Here are 2 bags full of my purchases! Not everything was for myself, of course 🙂
Day 2!
Good deals in the wagon! Quite a number of stuff I bought were from the wagon 🙂
The pixies were all treated to a sumptuous (to me lah) breakfast on Day 2, courtesy of Kith Cafe!
Here’s my cup of hot chocolate! What a way to start your morning. It definitely gave me a boost and made me more energised for Day 2!
Great companions at the event! Here’s me with 2 Jocelyns. Haha!
Are you ready to see my loots?
These are bags for shopaholics. Haha. Lugged back 2 of this!
What I bought! I’ve got to agree that I managed to snatch up some great deals! 😉
Featuring some of my star buys, here are my favourite tops and dresses (especially the maxi dress at the bottom which I had forgotten what it’s called) from the sale.
Some more dresses and tops, and also the bottoms I bought!
These are sample pieces (no tag) which I bought on impulse. Way too snug and small on me. 😦
The very popular furry pullover which was gone before sunset on day 1!
Love touching the material haha.
I didn’t have time to try out everything I bought but I managed to wear out a few of my purchases 🙂
The top is loose-fitting which kinda made me look preggers so I tucked it in (but it’s so short, it kept coming off my shorts). I like the colour and the intricate design on the sleeves.
Got this from the wagon 🙂 It’s a very unique design for a shorts.
White romper which was launched during the Chinese New Year period this year. I actually have the same piece in Navy and love it so much that I decided to get another one in different colour! I was lucky enough to have seen it at the sale 🙂
Okay that’s about it! Will resume my food reviews shortly 😛
Please note that I will not be answering any questions relating to employment at Love, Bonito.
