Just returned from the warehouse sale in Atria Shopping Centre, where big brands like Massimo Dutti, Ted Baker and Zara are having great markdowns. The sale actually starts at 11am, but a long queue was already formed when I reached at 10.30am. Yet, I still managed to grab a whole bunch of nice clothings regardless of the massive crowd!
With a starting price from only RM9.90, Zara items are pretty affordable. There is a wide range of selections (tops, dresses, pants) to choose from, but don't expect those exceptionally nice pieces you've seen in the stores, as most items are basic day to day wears. The choices for Massimo Dutti both in the male and female sections are pretty limited; definitely no nice tops and dresses for you girls. Ted Baker and Bebe items are divided into a different small section near the entrance, where you can't bring in items from the other brands. I saw some nice clothings there but the prices are not cheap either. I know that the items have been marked down a lot compared to their original prices, but still, I'm not willing to pay around RM200 for a skirt, especially in a warehouse sale and in this bad economic climate.
Here are some of my wise purchases made within 4 hours in a place which was hot and lack of oxygen, lol.
Massimo Dutti cardigan RM299 for RM59.90.
Massimo Dutti hand crocheted bolero RM299 for RM89.90
Zara green checkered tube top, which I found in a pile of clothes that other people left on the floor... :)
The quality of these Zara racerbacks are superb, the material is so soft and comfy! Guess how much do they cost? It's only RM9.90 per piece, quite a steal, right?
Altogether I bought 4 tops, 2 cardigans, 1 bolero and 1 skirt in the sale. The total damage is RM289.20, so it's quite reasonable. :)
Later in the afternoon, I went to Mid Valley Megamall and bought some Japanese snacks from Shojikiya. The three big packets are nuts and rice crackers, which I got from the price markdown (near expiration dates) area. Hehe... really cheapskate of me huh? Spending too much on clothes means cutting money for snacks... The assorted nuts packs cost only RM5 per packet, and the soy sauce rice crackers costs only RM2! Who cares about the expiration date somewhere in the first week of December anyway? I'm sure they'll be all gone within 3 days with the kind help of Ben, lol!
Noticed the two cute pink and yellow containers (resembles a chick and a bird) in the picture? They contain furikake (a kind of Japanese rice seasoning) inside. There are altogether four designs, they were so cute that I had to grab at least two. There's a packet of sakura denbu as well (which is not in the picture), I'll try it out when I cook rice tomorrow. I'm not sure how it tastes like, but how can I resist having sakura pink on the rice?
Before heading back home, I had my very first try on a yummy gelato treat in Gelatissimo. There were many irresistable flavors that I greedily wanted to try, at the end I chose a cup of two flavors: peach and chocolate truffle. Pardon me for not able to show you how the real gelato looks like. I didn't bring my camera along, so at the time I reach home, there's only an empty cup left...
