To be honest... I had no intention of visiting the sale to begin with... I have learnt that...
"Unless you are there on the 1st day... most of the 'choice' items would be gone..."
But there I was... with Sista CT, RG & KW...
We had nothing planned... JB trip did not fall through... so we decided to pop by the sale just to check it out...
We thought it would be fun to people watch and if we could pick up some bargains along the way... even better...
We arrived at about 4pm... there was a short queue... mostly a younger crowd... but there were still a few tai tais... Birkins... in tow... in line...
"They are soooo rich... They can afford what... Why must come and 'fight with us'..."
Was what RG related to us... commented by a very close 'girlfriend' of his... who have been going to the sale every other day since they started on Thursday... You go girl!!!
True... I guess who could resist designer clothing and accessories on sale... some up to 90%... even rich tai tais... everyone get to stretch their spending dollars even more...
Many of the big names were heavily discounted... Armani, Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabanna, D&G, Jil Sander... just to name a few that caught my eyes...
I... of course... made a beeline for the Marc Jacobs... Marc by Marc Jacobs racks...
As expected... most of the good stuff were all gone... no bags or accessories in sight... odd sizes... really the last dregs...
This was all that I got/interested after an hour...
Marc by Marc Jacobs... cream colored ribbed... patch work... asymmetrical tee... for S$20...
3 CK belts for S$20... a coated midnight blue military inspired Calvin Klein inscripted silver buckle belt...
a dark grey 'boyfriend' belt...
a skinny cool grey ladies belt... I intend to use the skinny belt as a tour bracelet...
Diesel leather cuff... acid burnt leather in olive with gunmetal hardware... S$10...
We felt that there wasn't much to buy... an opinion not felt by many... obviously...
The crowd was just crazy... bottle neck jams... trying to move from racks/room... elbowing... trampling... frantic pulling and tagging...
It was like an episode of animal kingdom... during feeding time... survival of the fittest... if you even show the slightest sign of weakness... you get edged out... left standing by the side of the sale bins... watching helplessly... while the 'strong' swoops away everything...
It's sight to behold... seeing tai tais... with their Birkins... 'wrapped in plastic'... house rules if you want to bring your bag in... losing all grace and poise... elbowing and squeezing with us 'common' folks... squatting by the side... looking faint...
Seeing ladies slipping full length evening gowns over themselves... Watching a man trying to pull a pair of trousers over his baggy... ugly... bermudas... Rummaging through the sale bins with their hands already full of items...
I got hit... by bags after bags... bags full of items...
With no expectations... comes no disappointment...
Indeed... I had more fun... people watch... than shopping...
S$50 total spent for 5 designer items... a Club 21 Bazaar steal...
