someone asked me last night if the shirt i had on was from raoul. others thought i tailor-made it. far from it, i actually purchased it off-the-shelf from china - the source of most of my formal shirts. the formal shirts i bought in the past before this year are generally too big nowadays.
from most observers' points of view, i seem to be one who spends a lot on my clothes, my bags, my shoes etc. i do not deny that i probably spend more than the average person on my external. yet, the amount is probably far less than most people imagine. as best as i can, i try to maximise my dollar and spend wisely.
here are a few things i do:
-hardly ever shop in singapore. prices are crazy. i only buy things at sales in singapore.
-wait for sales.
-for things like hair products, neighbourhood shops usually offer fantastic deals.
-look for factory outlets and reject stores. these are available in america, in europe, in china...
-do not tailor-make. it's a waste of money. what if you grow fatter or thinner? the sizes available off-the-rack are tailored for the typical consumer, which most of us are. take your time to search for what suits you.
-window shop in the boutique outlets, remember the model numbers that you want, and search on ebay. this works particularly well on things like watches, electronics etc.
well, christmas is coming. for gift ideas, a sizeable contribution to the aaron-travels-europe-and-america-in-2010 fund will be deeply appreciated. love y'all! :D
