simplicity...

i do not know when and how it happened.

 

when did i become an adult and should i say it.....frugal??

 

i remember during my 20's working a block away from 5th ave in NYC, i was surrounded by brand names.  i would buy stuff even the most cheapest one just to say i got it from such store.  i kid you not but at one point, i remember buying a flip-flop at burberry (this was before burberry became a global brand).  i was addicted to it.  my paychecks has a designated amount just for buying these BS stuff.

fast forward to the present, i no longer work near 5th ave.  if fact, i haven't near where i used to work for 3-4 years.  i still work NYC but let's just say every morning, i see kids running around going to school, nanny's with baby's in strollers, and dog walkers.

where do i shop?  don't get me wrong.  i still look at brand names but 99.99% of the time, i just look.  i will splurge once in a blue moon (and yes, I do mean once in a blue moon) but majority of the time, i would go to target and jcpenny.  i would venture to a local malls to see what uniqlo or h&m had to offer.

 

i do look at style and see what's in.  i do have a job and i still need to look presentable.  it's just that nowadays, price and comfort matters to me more than the name of the brand.

 

going back to my question again, when did i became an adult and also frugal???

 

oh well...
