Restricted

"For ladies the dresscode is skirts from Monday to Thursday..."

What is she telling me?! I thought i was just there to collect the offer letter... why is she treating me as if i am going to work there for sure? And what IS that about skirts?

"And shoes... no open toe shoes/sandals, must cover the whole feet..."

Shit, i glaced at the offer letter, two sheets, and at the bottom was a line for me to sign. And she gave me a pen earlier on... no! I realized that they were expecting me to sign on the spot! Panic!

"But if there is a strap at the back, then it's okay", she finished.

Well, the last sentence relaxed me a bit, she's nice. Asked her if i had to sign on the spot and she didn't know, she said she'd ask her colleage/senior...

Sigh, i WAS practically FORCED into signing on the spot. They said i could still back out, just had to send an email/give them a call. But hah! As if i should do that.

Sigh again. Dresscode sucks for modern girl me. Pants preferred please!

Bummed, pissed, irritated. Until my bestfriend asked me to try on a black jacket. "It's so u", she said. Reluctantly i did.

And i gotta say, wow, i love it! It's black- the boring account colour. With long sleeves and many pockets. The part i love most about it is the hook-like-buckles instead of buttons! Formal enough, according to bestfriend. With a hint of uniqueness on it that cheers me up tremendously.

I need a little freedom, i need a little bit of style!

I just HAD to have the matching skirt... and wow, it suits me too! Knee-length skirts never liked me very much, but this one just whispers "I'll be your new bestfriend!!!"

Saleslady told me if u buy two items u'd get twenty per cent off. So i got the skirt and the jacket, one complete suit, for RM254.40.

What do u think??? I saw another outlet offering complete suits- a blazer and either a skirt or a pair of pants for RM399...


Shoes next. I started to be down all over again. I don't wanna wear those boring ones, no, not me, not your blogger. Eclipse, my new favourite did not have my size but it did provide me with an answer: boot-like shoes. =)

Hell shall freeze over before i buy and wear a boring pair of shoes. I was hell-bent on finding boots. Hehe.

Today, mom brought me shopping. And i found me boots! =) Perfecto! =) Mom agreed. And i could use it in Aust next year! =) Bye bye original Nikes or whatever, i'm not gonna buy new original sports shoes anymore, i've got boots!

=) I'm so glad i'm stubborn or i wouldn't have found my boots. Haha! RM179. From Metrojaya. Leather

Also got another pair of shoes... since they offer 50% if u buy two pairs. Mom bought one pair for herself and i bought my little boot-like shoes with a discreet and elegent bling bling buckle. RM29.95!!!!!!!!


That's all for now, maybe i'll buy one more button-down shirt but my second or third or fourth suits would be hand-me-downs from mom or Ex-Accountant Aunt. Ex-Accountant Aunt is very fashionable and vain so i've got a lot to choose from. =)

Hope it fits me!

Hahaha, sharp pointy ones can be very nice too, i should check out other Esarli outlets, maybe get two pairs, hehe. Crazy!

Yup, pants are better! =)

Suits cuz... i predict it would be cold in those office buildings, we'd be spending hours on end in a central cooling system, we'd start to freeze. So the jackets would be needed wan.
