It’s my favorite time of the quarter. Time to shop!

I have checked the new collection from Plains and Prints 2 weeks ago but only today that I have decided to buy a dress. I tried on two. The first one is haltered while the second one looks more casual. (I can’t seem to describe the second one, which made it look nice because it’s unique.)

I am so happy lately because first, I am now size 2 over at Just G while today I discovered I’m back to size XS at Plains and Prints!

Here’s the catch, I tried the size XS of the second dress. Everything fits everywhere except I can’t close the zipper located at the left torso.

The finale? I ended up buying the first dress which is kind of a ball-shape of a dress fitted only at the top and bottom of the dress.

You’ll see this dress this Sunday.

Oh, btw, I got a free bottle of EDT. Nice!

After visiting countless swimwear shops, I have finally decided what swimsuits to wear in Bohol. First off, my mom lend me her green and white (mostly green) tankini which has a matching bottom which I think, does not flatter me in any angle. So I was thinking whether to get a fun-looking (read: flirty hehe) bottom either in pink or same shade of green.

Anyway, yesterday, our friend Maniya accompanied me to scout for the best swimsuit for me. One major factor to consider is that the swimwear should hide my (gall bladder removal) scars. Second is the cut should be flattering enough. Third, is the print.

So there. Two swimsuits for Bohol. I just need to do some more running in the treadmill to look good on those.

There was a commotion this morning over at Twitter. Yen sold some of her hardly (and never been) used bags, shoes and necklaces. I fell in love with two items that she’s selling. But I was holding off because I want to stick to my budget.

But the Coach bag was too tempting. (I prefer Coach over LV because it fits my lifestyle more.) The bag was being offered at a good price. So I whipped out my calculator and started computing and “adjusting” and yes it’s possible. I had to consult hubby first, of course. I took picture of the item (from her Flickr) and sent MMS to my hubby. Just then, the item was sold to another Bebot, Caryl. Well, she saved me from giving in to the temptation.

I hate being pessimistic but I think I’m coming down with the flu. This is so untimely because we have set a swimming outing with friends this weekend. BG is a bit warm too since yesterday.

Since we are on the topic of swimming, today, I tried the two-piece swimwear I had been eyeing for months. I was disappointed that it didn’t look good on me. I was so set on buying that for summer. That was exactly what I want. Bareback tied only with strings and with covered front. Now, I’m back to zero. Or I could opt for a Speedo tankini instead.

Just this morning, I received an email from hubby. It says FYI. I scrolled down to see another summer getaway promo valid only until the end of February. It would be nice, it’s just that we have booked for another out-of-town trip on the first week of March. I think it would be too much for our budget. I’d like to have fun, of course, without being broke.

Anyway, I plan to check some swimwear this Friday. I’m not sure if I want to buy or not. We will go to Pansol this weekend with friends, and I have nothing to wear. Well, I got one swimsuit but I’d probably swim with a top and shorts. I just thought maybe I can buy the swimwear intended for our summer get-away and wear it too this weekend.

Oh, my plan is to buy something that would coordinate with BG’s swimwear (with matching flipflops) I got from Old Navy. Look:
