spring shopping


I researched online and discovered that when it comes to weather, the month of March can be unpredictable in Countries X, Y & Z where I'm going. So I've decided to bring a variety of coats and jackets with me: my new gray wool coat from Zara, plus some old favorites like my light cotton plaid trench coat, a warm hooded sweatshirt, a white cardigan, a brown suede jacket--and my new black cotton jacket, again from Zara!

I just want to be prepared. I know it's going to be cold over there; it just really depends on the degree of coldness. Will just layer and layer to death until I'm sweating inside my thermal undergarments!

I've put a picture of my new jacket here because I'm so in love with the jacket sleeves. I'm not really a coat kind of girl (as I like to wear small tops and skirts in the office) so I didn't realize how fun it was to shop for thick coats and the like.

AND THE PRICES IN ZARA ARE REALLY AIN'T THAT BAD.

I'm still not saying where I'm going! Until like a few days before I fly out. Heehee.

  4. And then someone told me I could get cheaper thermals in Greenhills for 300-500 pesos each (overruns, pero okay pa rin), and I honestly felt like killing myself. Hahaha.

  5. And Zara overruns and other wintry stuff at Madras near Cash and Carry! Hahahaha! But... I'm sure they won't have overruns of your cute-sleeves coat!
