~Budget Ken Fashion~

 I know I have procrastinated for too long.

Last entry was in October.

So sorry dears.

Recently, my bf has taken an interest in men's fashion.

(to my surprise... cos have always been trying to convert him to more fashionable clothing but to no avail)

First baby step:

Bought bermudas from Hang Ten (Bedok Central)

$16 (min 2 pcs)

so we bought 1 black and 1 khaki coloured.

 Then we found these white leather shoes in Century Square, Bata atrium sales.

Only $19!!!

But left with very very limited sizes.

Luckily this pair is the right size.

The next day, I went back to Hang Ten again and found this polo-T.

Looks similar to Giordano's ones but the lion has a crown.

But the good thing about it is that it cost only $13!!

Min 2 pcs again lah.. I bought the second pc for myself. A hot pink one.

(Giordano's one cost $33.. so ex..)

Since Qiu Qiu had an episode on men's fashion in Bugis Street,

we went to Bugis street on sunday to try and find cheap T-shirts for him to wear with the bermudas.

We found this striped T-shirt at $12 only.

The fabric is pretty soft and it goes well with the bermudas.

 We then found shoes for $19.90.

These also go well with the bermudas so I convinced him to buy.

This was the best design lah.

Not fully checkered... but the lines look tastefully fashionable.

We realised that a lot of shops were selling bermudas at $15 each and $25 for 2.

Only one shop sells them at 3 for $36 and the sales staff are not pushy.

So we decided to buy from them but only bought 2 lah.

 Bernudas: Light grey checkered lines

Bermudas: Light brown lines on cream background

~City Plaza Shopping Trip~ Part 2

We went back to City Plaza again!
This time we explored more shops and the famous Arnold's Fried Chicken.
I also prepared a goodie bag for all my participants (even though there was a small charge of $5)

My goodie bag includes:
A PVC zippered bag,
a tube top (for use when trying on low-cut dresses),
3 sachets of London Tea Company organic Tea,
2 sachets of Huiji Fruity Lite,
an elastic bracelet and
a Badger Lip Balm (organic).
