Php2,000-worth of boy's clothes

Ano ang mabibili ng Php2,000 mo na boy's clothes dito sa Canada?

Osh Kosh

Mountain Warehouse

Old Navy

Costco

Ang mura noh? $49.00 lang lahat yan o Php1,960.36. And take note, branded ang mga yan ha. Pero hindi pa rin yan yung masasabing super mura dito kasi mabilisan lang ang pagkabili namin niyan. Kailangan lang kasi ni Nathan ng new pairs of shorts for our forthcoming Edmonton trip kaya namili kami agad-agad. Normally kasi talagang naghahanap lang ako ng talagang sale kapag binibilhan ko siya mga damit.

That's one thing I like here in Canada, nasusuotan ko ng 'branded' clothes ang anak ko kahit para sa pang-araw-araw lang. Parang artista ba, laging maganda ang suot hehe. Kung sa Pinas kasi, I doubt kung mabibilhan ko siya ng Gap o Osh Kosh all the time. Baka kapag birthday lang o Pasko. Kuripot kasi ako sa damit haha, ayaw ko ng paulit-ulit lalo na kapag may picturan kaya nanghihinayang ako bumili ng mahal tapos isa o dalawang beses lang gagamitin. On the other hand, ayaw ko rin naman na Divisoria clothes lang ang ipapasuot ko sa only child ko haha. Ano ba talaga, ateng?  Problematic noh?

Sa SM Department Store pa lang kasi eh sobrang mahal na ng damit. Ang mga shorts, parang Php800 na. Ang mamahal din ng mga t-shirts na local brands lang din naman, tapos hindi pa ganun kaganda ang quality. Kaya kapag umuuwi kami sa Pinas, mga pajamas at pantulog shirts lang ang binibili ko kay Nathan. Nagdadala talaga ako ng maraming damit galing dito.

I'll post more of my cheap buys soon!

I heart Old Navy

Old Navy is probably my favorite clothing store here in Edmonton. Eighty percent of my tops were bought from there, I guess.

I love shopping at Old Navy for a variety of reasons:

• Their clothes are my type of clothes. I also like the quality of their clothing.
• They have a variety of merchandise (clothes, footwear, accessories, bags, stuffed toys, etc.)
• Their clothes are relatively cheap as compared to other shops.
• They are always on sale (haha!).
• You can often times hit the jackpot on their clearance items.

Another thing, aside from the usual big discount (never ever buy full price, magse-sale din naman kasi later on), they always have this survey coupon pa (attached to the receipt) that can make you save another 15% on your next transaction.

I don't mind answering a 10-minute survey if that means additional discount for my succeeding purchases.

I discovered though that the codes given at the  end of survey are just the same (for a specific time frame, of course). I've answered two surveys, one week apart, and both have given me "sweaters" as code. I still have another survey coupon (I bought a sweater again yesterday) and I won't be answering the boring survey anymore. I'll just put the word "sweaters" na lang agad haha!

Post-pregnancy fashion sense change?

This is the first pair of footwear that I bought since I've gotten pregnant. It really isn't my style but now that it's getting colder, I need warm shoes that won't require wearing socks. Unfortunately, I can't bend anymore due to my bulging tummy.

I wonder how my fashion sense will change after giving birth. Or will I still have time to dress up? I haven't gained much weight in this pregnancy (because I have gestational diabetes and on controlled diet) so I am hoping that I could still fit in my old clothes later on. Gosh, I miss wearing maong pants!

I want to be a well-dressed momma. I still want to look good even if in the next coming years my destiny is to become a stay-at-home wife and mother. I was never a fashionista but I take pride in being a decent dresser. Hope it remains that way.

Ring for Bing-Bing

I love putting on simple silver/white gold accessories but I realized that during winter time, they won't be sulit because of all the layering (of clothes) that you have to go through in order to survive the cold. In fact, I bought a Pandora bracelet three weeks ago and I've never worn it until now. Hindi nga kasi makikita haha!

But then last (Black) Friday, I saw some nice rings from Old Navy at 50% off. And they carry my ring size which is XL! Yep yep, I have uber fat fingers and I had difficulty buying fancy rings in the Philippines.

I instantly tried on many many rings and ended up buying four. This is one of them. Nice noh?

Hmmm, I think I'm into a new addiction. Although I would have to put gloves every now and then, at least makikita ko pa rin hehe.

Hoping for more rings for me in the coming days! Hurrray!
