Friday Rambles
It's Friday, the office is quiet... this calls for an LJ post!
Colleagues are now back, so the stress has been lifted, thankfully, and I can now get back to desperately finding things to occupy myself with, hoorah! And I seem to be back to normal voice-wise, with cold more or less banished, huzzah! :D Everyone I know seems to be dropping like flies though!
This weekend, I plan to get my arse in gear and make my Jasmine costume and play some badminton tonight and Sunday so that my belly isn't *too* wobbly in it! ^_^;
Weather's definately descended into winter this week, and having grown out of alot of my wardrobe during the milder weather, I realised I am lacking in enough work and casual outfits suitable for warmth and generally being very depressed with my drab, old clothing. So, like a girl, I cheered myself up yesterday by skiving off work early and popping to Wimbledon for some shopping. Woohoo!
H&M in Wimbledon always dissapoints me, the clothing lines there are decidely... rubbish. I prefer looking in the Oxford St stores, but they're always crowded, and my fave clothes always seem to come from the store in Stratford-Upon-Avon... shit. Nia, I'll be visiting again soon ;(
Anyway, picky, fashion-challenged me managed to find ONE nice casual top in River Island, which - as demonstrated today - seems to do nicely in a semi-smart work ensemble. I decided I also need new going-out, fitted dark jeans, so went to the last place I got a good baggy pair which I love...
<3 UniQlo! ^__^ For me, personally, the jeans in UniQlo seem to actually fit and I really like the material. None of that "distressed" or "millions of holes" or "*insert stupid phrase involving sweetangel/baby/toohot4u* in glitter across the arse" nonsense.
I don't usually like their other clothing though. Surprisingly, I did this time! Acquired; warmsnuggly pink/red hooded top and practicalcomfy grey zip-up sweater for badminton. Success! I suck at shopping, so going out and getting 4 items of practical clothing within 2 hours is amazing for me! And so, the sterotype of women doing "retail therapy" has been enforced. Ta-dah.
Now.. just need to finish Jasmine and Halloween outfits, book Christmas/New Year/weekend plans (Expo, Oxford, etc), figure out work holiday allowance and think of Christmas/birthday presents. Curse you parents and brother for having birthdays in October/November/December, argh! @_@
