Having bought so many clothes and yet still not knowing what to wear in the morning makes me think of what the hell is wrong with me... I think i found the answers to some of it... Well, apart that my favorite pieces are apparently worn out due to frequent spin in the washing machine, here are the mistakes I made:
1. I don't buy enough black while that is the safest color to go for. That is actually my favorite color, and I didn't even notice it. I picked black most of the time, and by the time I realize this, I feel I don't have enough clothes even with 4 full hanging rails in my other room that we have converted into our wardrobe. I need more black in all sorts of style. They'll look different if I know how to pair em with various scarves and bottoms.
2. I am a cheapskate. Well, nothing wrong with that. Everyone loves bargain, who could deny that. But there is a fine line between frugality and being smart. I have 4 tops that I tot were chic from Pasar Baru in Jakarta that I have never worn (each time I tried it on, i feel the cutting is a bit off and it accentuates the wrong part of my body, in other words - they made me look fat). Here's the best part - in total, they cost more than a shirt that I wore almost weekly from Zara. So there you go. I should have just bought another Zara top and think twice everytime I got enticed with chic ness or whatever.
3. I eat too much and all my favorite clothes are now all fit or showing my bulges. Oh well, the mistake is really buying sizes that are a tad too small hahaha.. Next time I'll go for M instead of S. Well it has it's pros and cons, but for now, let's stick with a size looser with some air for the skin to breathe.
4. Not buying enough of the same style when I already fall in love with it. Oh wait a minute, this is not entirely my fault. The style that I love doesn't come in more colors, that's more like it. I always buy more when I know it really suits me. Don't believe me? I have almost 8 cotton blazer coats from Uniqlo and so far, my only mistake was buying the salmon and white ones.. the rest, my saviours of all time :)
5. Last but not least - I don't organize my clothes enough. I can't find the right pair whenever I need them. And I don't even know I already have the same piece and bought it twice. So really, getting organize is the key to it all. Jun, jgn malas!

Letting Things Slide... Lets not!
I wish I could say I have learnt new things everyday. But the truth is, I am beginning to lose grip of what I used to call my pride and joy. Take this blogging for instance, I truly forgot how to even compose one and it took me merely the whole night starting over..
How is it that we can easily master one thing after years of practice and lose it in just a blink of an eye?
I use to be a good cook, but I stopped cooking so much after it made me fat.. so now, I even have to consult my Mama to prepare a simple curry!
I use to run everyday, but I found myself catching breath between flight of stairs nowadays...
I use to have time for TV series and still do my chores like cleaning and cooking, but since I have helpers, I feel so handicapped and began to stress out when they are not around...
What is happening? Am I too busy hunting fortune that I slipped and forgot to savor those little things that matter... It's time to turn over a new leaf... Lets not let things slide while busy gaining things that are still blurry...
