went winter-shopping with manda at the newly opened 313 today. there was a uniqlo opening sale today (which we recce-ed for yesterday), but boy, little did we expect the queues to be so horrendously long.
we queued up for half an hour just to enter the shop, and then, probably another one and a half hour to make payment. the queue snaked around the entire store twice, which is a rather good marketing strategy come to think of it. like, you're looking around because you're so bored while stuck in the line, then, you realised the top on your right actually looks pretty nice, and the jacket on your left is on discount! i think that probably explains why everyone goes out of uniqlo with bags and bags of stuff. i mean, queue for so long... might as well buy more right? haha.
i feel so lost shopping for winter clothes :( technically i have everything i need at home already. just that they are dumpy and ugly. well i have nice ones too but my dad insists on me bringing the ugly ones to sweden because they are the ones which are warmer. plus the luggage limit means i have to divide and allocate my clothing space between winter and spring. so many constraints! unlike packing for usa last summer which was just throwing a few tops into my suitcase, cos' us stuff is so cheap i was planning to buy everything there. oh well, there's still one more month to sort everything out!
