Went Shopping

The boutique people texted me 3 weeks back to tell me new stocks have arrived. I forgot all about it.

Today, I went to browse for a gift for the man's mommy. The bags were rather horrendous (to me) this season. To my slight annoyance, everything I eyed was out of stock and left with the last piece- i.e. the display piece that had been pressed, prodded, fingered and a tad stained. The mommy favored classics and owned many beautiful pieces. Whatever else left wouldn't be to the mommy's taste at all.

After circling the boutique thrice with the very attentive sales executive who tried, in vain to suggest various designs, I gave up hope of getting something from Chanel.

I strode into another label's counter. I got something plain and very simple which I thought the mommy would like. Something chic she could use for the casual days. She took one look at the paper bag and roundly scolded me for 'spending money'. I don't care! Haha. I cannot show you what it is because she reads this blog. :) She doesn't want to open it till next week.

Oh. I'm pleasantly surprised that the boutique honored a 5% discount with a Takashimaya Amex.
