I’ve been using a black Elle wallet for so long, and although there wasn’t anything wrong with it, I just wanted something different...and it had to be red. I checked several shops and stalls, until finally I saw this purse at Aldo.
During our vacation last September, my white flat sandals broke. So I searched high and low for a similar pair, to no avail. Crazy, right? I mean, they’re just white slippers...how difficult could it be? But the thing is, the white ones I saw were always flipflop types (you know, the ones that separate the big toe from the other toes); I don't like those because during the times when I commute between our home and office, I like to wear sandals that I could just slip into without ruining my stockings (commuting in heels is such a pain and I want my feet to relax). And the ones that weren’t flipflop types had heels, had straps or weren’t plain white. So when I saw these at Woolworths, I bought them immediately.
As for the third gift, I needed Hubby's help to get it. I still haven’t received it though, because it’s still in the works and we’ll only know later if I’ll be able to get it. Don’t worry, once everything is confirmed, I’ll share what it is.
So, those are the gifts I gave myself for the holidays. I didn’t go overboard like buying an LV bag, the latest smartphone, or jewelry, simply because it wasn't practical for me to spend so much money on those things. They're nice, but I'd rather wait for the opportunity to get them for free or as a gift. With the purse and sandals, they’re nice, very useful, and I don’t have to worry about someone stealing them (err...except maybe the money in the wallet which I hope never happens).
Anyway, now that I’ve started, I’m thinking of getting myself a gift every year, you know, as a reward for being a good girl and surviving the past year. How about you? Did you get yourself anything for Christmas and the New Year?
