This week marks the first week that I am to wear a uniform at work. While all my colleagues were complaining about the poor quality and service of the uniform maker, I was quietly rejoicing not yet having my uniform in proper order so I can wear my own clothes. Because I just recently bought so much. Har.
Many of us know that annually one has to save a substantial amount of money to be used on January and July. One also knows that if one only "HAS TO HAVE" (as opposed to "NEED TO HAVE") an article of clothing, then self control must be practiced until January or July. Why, you ask? Because those months play host to the End of Season Sales of our favorite brands. It is a well known fact that botiques and shops in general follow the western seasons and major line turn over happens at the end of winter and summer. And since January plays host to End of Winter Season sale, racks are filled with darker colored dresses, heavier fabrics and divine outerwear. Not really appropriate for a tropical country, but something we can get away with in the work place.
So during the first weeks of January, as I was going around town scheduling catch up dinners with several friends I couldn't stop myself from checking out stores, mainly my favorites, especially with their large sale banners screaming at me to go in.
