Men spending $12,000 a year on women - News




Read about it!!



The irony of it all, I'd like to think that I'm the minority group whom have spent more than the former guys in my life, well, 'cept for the FilthyRichLiar obviously...



I have never gave it a 2nd thought when I splurged on shirts/cufflinks/gadgets/even mobile phone bills just cos they wanted/needed them... I was the type that would slip in a $10 note whenever the bf's wallet was empty/ when they hinted that they were broke...



The irony of it all was that whenever I'm in a relationship, I barely splurged on myself... I would think before buying a $40 pair of heels, when I readily bought shirts that easily cost twice as much...






Or to spend close to $600 on buying a briefcase just because I was looking from the mileage perspective of things in that his briefcase is damaged, and it was high time he gotten something much more presentable and formal, and that how it was his birthday pressie...




The irony is that the "mileage of the relationship" didn't last as long... *cynic smile*




Imagine! The shoe diva actually not wanting to buy heels!!!



Imagine!!! I blew close to $600 on getting a bag that I wouldn't be using (If I topped up a wee bit more, I could have gotten a Speedy for myself!!), and how I splurged an almost similar amount on getting a PSP eons ago, just because the jerk wanted one...



So imagine my shock when a colleague of mine commented that I was "high maintenance" earlier today!!



Me?!?!?




I admit I do have heaps of clothes, and tons of heels, BUT, most of them were bought during sales, since sales are like 24/7 throughout the year! Which explains why I've tons of discount cards, which does come in handy whenever I buy clothes... Else, there's always the haggling with those tiny shops... And since with the current craze of tops that makes me look preggers, I haven't been buying much, the only thing I admit spending alot on recently is beers and liquor, and obviously cab rides home...



Heels? My most expensive splurge thus far were not Christian Louboutins/Jimmy Choos... The most expensive pair of heels I have are from Aldo, and they were bought with birthday vouchers that my lovely friends gave me as a bday pressie in 2007... Most of my shoes are bought during sales or from those tiny shops in Far East Plaza... I don't even own Birkens, mind you! Although I have been resisting the urge to buy a pair or 2 with my gfs online... :-/


I don't even own authentic designer/"IT" bags, and the most expensive bag I'm currently using was a gift from the former bf (the most recent one) from Mango as my fake Fendi justified why it wasa fake bag... The Fendi Spy, the Loewe, the LV Speedy and the Chanel are all wants which are and have been on my list, but I wouldn't buy until I have more spending power...



Realistically, everyone's gotta have one of those luxe classic designer bags just because of the workmanship, and how it'd last years vs. my cheap bags that wouldn't last very long... The only thing that has a tag on me, is my employee ID tag (*LauGhs*), and the Kate Spade wallet which was a bday pressie from the most-recent-ex-bf this year...



For now, school fees are a major headache, so I've been resisting all urges to get a new bag or two... But I might succumb to temptation and get something cheap but classy-looking just because... ...






They don't match my shoes! :P








*LauGhs*






I'm kinda the "everything-just-dump-into-the-bag" kinda girlie, which means I adore hugeeee bags with sturdy handles and closures/zips, which probably explains why my bags usually weigh a ton!! :P



So me?!?!?! High Maintenance?!?!?

(My gfs all agree in union that i've been far too nice to all my previous bfs!!!)


*tHinKs*







What do you think? (O_o)
