Prior to my purchase at last week's launch, I already had 3 Hollyhoque knit cardigans, and I had told myself that 3 was enough. However, the preview for the criss cross knit long cardigan in red won me over, and after much deliberation, I decided I MUST camp for this item - which I did successfully - and made it my fourth knit cardigan from HH! I helped Candice cart out one as well cos' she, too, thought that this cardi was nice! :P My heart was racing 3 minutes before launch time, and I made one wrong click when carting out (clicked paypal instead of iB/ATM transfer payment method) so can you imagine how anxious I was?!! But I was overjoyed when I managed to cart out TWO cardis :D Duh.
I was super excited to receive my parcel, and when did, tried it on immediately.

Though a little overwhelming on a UK6, the comfort, design, patterns and colour totally had me won over :) It's perfect for girls who want to keep warm in air-conditioned places (like, really perfect. Warmer than my other cardis) and look good at the same time. It's in a reeeeeeeeally lovely shade of red, and a unique addition to my wardrobe :) No regrets for this purchase - so far. And I hope it wont stretch too much, because the main body of the cardi is kinda big :( Doesn't hug my body like other cardigans when I button it up! I'd give this a 5/5 rating if the body part was more fitting! My rating currently stands at 4/5 for this.

I think many girls would agree that it's the entire online shopping experience (including the camping and anticipation) that makes us happy; it's not just the purchased item. I HAVE to add this as a psych major - satisfaction with an online purchase increases when you know that you managed to get a popular item that was sold out within 2 minutes of the launch :P The extent of increase depends on knowledge of the quantity demanded and sold. Based on personal experience lol. I may just conduct a survey to test this out.
Have I mentioned? THE RED IS JUST SO PRETTY <3
And I shortened and edited the above review before submitting it for AFC - A Fashionista's Confession. Made myself sound less excited and fanatic. AFC is the store's way of encouraging customers to write reviews which will be posted on their blog, and then give discounts for their next purchase. I would have given a longer review if not for the fact that the reward is fixed at $1.50 hahah.
I just HAPPENED to be wearing HH apparels for school that day. I got the top a loooong time ago, and I still love it because of the chiffon silk material and the pretty crotchet details :)

Posting about clothes makes me happy yay :) There are certain parts of my physical self that I'm not exactly satisfied with, like my teeth, my chin (sighhhh my chin :( ), and my lips. But what I'm really thankful for is my size! I mean, I can fit into all these awesome clothing and I don't have to keep being conscious of how much or what I'm eating. Though of course I control my diet so that my tummy will not keep showing. Each time I look at my body in the mirror, I thank God that He didn't make me any bigger or smaller :)
