Dollars And Sense

Here's how you put a prom outfit together with a tight budget in mind. I'd bet what I wear tomorrow costs less than what some guys spent on their suits/blazers alone. Or shoes, for the extreme cases.

Suit and Bottoms : 1100 HKD = 220 SGD
Shirt: 25 SGD
Slim Tie: 35 SGD
Shoes: 150 HKD = 30 SGD
Socks: 10 HKD = 2 SGD

Total Cost: 312 SGD

And yes, everything save my belt that is on me tomorrow would be brand new. The only misgiving I have is that I did not buy that Zara suit in Times Square that time. It was a lovely shade of grey. Now I am stuck with black. Nevertheless I went and bought the shirt and tie today as though my suit was indeed grey. How awful a fit a black suit is, you will see tomorrow.

I picked up where my 5-day shopping trip to Hong Kong left off by shopping for a good 4 hours today. My kneecaps are feeling the pain now. My heels had started to do so roughly 3 days ago. If you are wondering why nothing about Hong Kong is going up here, well I guess there are tonnes of other people who will say pretty much the same thing. Watch some other space.
