Muji + Topshop

Given the title alone, I have obviously made my wallet suffer quite a bit today. But I don’t spoil myself often, so alghlskdgldkh.

Last week, I roamed around Muji and happened upon this carpet! I’ve been contemplating getting one for my work area for months, since my floor chair is immensely prone to getting dirty. Part of me was screaming to get it since Muji is currently on sale(!!!). I hesitated that day (because I had initially wanted a bamboo/tatami mat), but I eventually convinced myself to get it, since the price wasn’t that bad for a carpet. Got it at 45% off!

This has been my 5th Muji purchase since forever. Thank you, Muji, for (not really) sponsoring my work area! I keep telling myself that at the rate I’m going, I’ll be able to furnish a tiny studio apartment by next year or something. I have to pace myself. My room is full of stuff.

Besides my lovely new carpet, I ended up spending on my first ever Topshop top (everything I own from Topshop are Batgirl undies I AM NOT ASHAMED), though with partial funding from Kiksy bebeh, thank you love!

I’ve long had a penchant for stripes, black & white clothing, and long sleeved shirts, so this immediately caught my eye when I saw it in Rockwell last November. I’m apparently drawn by “SALE! SALE! WE’RE FOOLING YOU INTO THINKING OUR ITEMS AREN’T THAT EXPENSIVE ANYMORE!” signs, as I have learned today, because I convinced myself this was now worth getting at 50% off. And that I’d never see this again if I decided to pass on it. Plus the fact that I usually don’t really like much of Topshop’s clothes…save for their Batgirl underwear.

The store seemed to catch on to my latter reasoning, though, and showed me clothes in pretty shades of red (which I also adore). Fought the urge to try a dress on, and walked out with just my sweater and my pained wallet.

Sooooo it looks like I won’t be spending much this February. Need to earn back what I spent today alone.
