Jo and I participated in Flea Titan on a whim and in an attempt to clear our closet plus to get some moolah (for more beautiful things).
Damn the economic crisis.
I was a bit busy and preoccupied to take during and after shots of the flea so I only have before shots to share…
We had some technical difficulty setting up the rack.
But thankfully it held up!
(At the booth next to ours, the rack literally broke! 0.0! and adjacent to our booth, their rack kept swaying :/)
Our table + rack. Fully utilized.
Everything in the bucket/tub went for $1 each. (and there were ppl still trying to bargain and be fussy at $1. seriously?! hahas)
Towards the end, in her bid to not bring home her stuff was giving her stuff away, shouting ‘Free shoes! Free clothes!!!’ and I swear everyone within earshot froze in their tracks and stared at her in disbelief. hahas. it was quite funny.
All in all a fun day… even though food was nightmarishly expensive!
Thank you for supporting Wottoncool’s $1 and $2 goodness! (:

I am currently working in a marketing team for a school event happening early January 2009 (stay tuned for that!) and as part of the job scope, my team and I have been sourcing for printers to print all our material for the event.
So while out looking for stores and getting quotations, yesterday I wore
Top: Valley Girl, Perth
Bottoms: Baleno, ebay
Leggings: random store, AMK Hub
Trench: random store, Malaysia
Watch: Casio
Shoes: Charles & Keith (did not want to get my feet wet in the rain. AND IT RAINED THE ENTIRE DAY!!!)
which, although somewhat odd (in terms of the prints, colours and textures), somehow worked!
In light of that, on my second and more fruitful search for printers (because I did not realise that Monday was a public holiday and most of the stores were closed), I wore
Top: random shop, Sydney
Skirt: This Fashion (for $2!!)
Belt: Alaia
Watch: Casio
Shoes: Andre Valentino
With a polka-heart top, textured belt and indian-inspired motif skirt, it was a stretch for my usual print-per-outfit tolerance level. But it is part of the fun to challenge myself and what I think I would (and would not) wear.
thoughts?

Although, Jo’s $1 Goodness series (here & here) takes the cake for best steals ever..
Some time ago, I came across a This Fashion Massive Sale and everything was going for $2!!!
Top: Black Sleeveless Top from G2000
Vest: Military-inspired vest from This Fashion
Bottoms: Cropped Pants from Nike
Shoes: Asics
I realise that my tastes borderline on costume-y. (My sister frequently borrows it to use as a costume for school drama skits!) But this vest was too cute to pass up. Initially, I thought i’d just wear it for Halloween, but it’s seen the light of day (even more so than some other items in my wardrobe with more mass appeal)
For $2!! (: whats not to love?! The yellow and gold zigzag stitching down the front plus the round, semi-hemispherical buttons <3
