Not about sales but about shopping

Organizing the closet

Organizing or rather, RE organizing the closet is a mammoth task I undertake at least once a year. Its a good time to sort through what can still be worn, what should be tossed and “Oh my goodness! I’d forgotten about that one!” yes, finding new clothes in your closet :P

I did that this past long Raya weekend instead of doing something exciting like… Oh I don’t know… going on Branson vacations perhaps? Unforgiving task to carry out but ultimately fulfilling as I can now open the doors to my closet without the fear of clothes falling down around my ears. Oh and I also found a brand new wardrobe without spending a sen! How about that for frugality?

Isetan launches larger sized clothing

If you have received the latest Isetan Kuala Lumpur newsletter you might notice that they have launched some new clothing sizes. No more starving yourself or taking appetite suppressants to fit into the teeny weeny clothes previously on offer.

Clothes now comes in bigger sizes to suit the general populace. On the other hand, some other lines like Cresendo have made smaller sizes for the population who are of the smaller built. I haven’t shopped for clothes in Isetan for a while so I can’t quite recall off hand if their clothes fit well or not. However I do remember going there recently and being quite taken by their new lines of dresses that look at once classic yet weren’t wallet busting. Not only that, even shoes now come in quarter and half sizes so you can be sure that your shoes fit you exactly.

I think that’s worth checking out.

Sleepwear that cost a pretty penny!

I was at Metrojaya MidValley last week when I saw they have a new section with Laura Ashley home furnishings, home decorations and clothes. I was quite surprised to see Laura Ashley being sold in Metro – somehow I never expected them to go into department stores this way. I’d seen their stand alone stores in KLCC but never went in because I only associate them with curtains for some reason. It might be all that chintz. :P

Anyway, I was looking at their clothes (there were some really hefty discounts available) but I couldn’t get any because most of those on sale were of larger sizes. (See, there’s no real reason to take diet pills when you can easily find nice clothes to suit you!)

I did see a lovely silk pair of pyjamas. Luxurious white silk with black lace trim camisole and cropped pants. IN. MY. SIZE!

Problem: Price before discount was RM389 and it was 10% off.

Sorry mate! That’s too much to pay even for me the pyjama queen! LOL… Would you pay?

Did you get your Crocs on sale?

Did ja pick up the wholesale lots of Crocs at the Isetan Sale? I was there on Friday for the members day presale and I saw a boatload of crocs shoes going at hefty discounts.

The normal crocs mary janes shoes and thongs were 40% off for women and men’s were going for 50% off. It was pretty good, if you don’t have a pair of Crocs and want a pair. Prices were about RM70-RM80+

I don’t know if its still on sale or if the hefty discounts have been cut after the presale. Still, you don’t see Crocs go on sale that often and you don’t even have to battle warehouse sales for these prices!
