What makes me happy - getting compliments about my hair and my 'funky' fashion sense for work. I've been told several times that I have a very distinctive personal style. This makes me happy and think - "it is because I'm a cheapskate who refuses to spend $200 on a skirt when the only thing that makes it different from the $20 skirt is the label." Also, I tend to wear clothing that goes against the 'in' style of the moment, this is usually because I bought it 4 years back, or because it is something mum wore back in the 70s and 80s.

Example:

• Black 3/4 sleeve shirt with this cute blue flower border - mum's.


• Black wool skirt -mum's.


• Blue stockings - mum's.


• White/black checkered coat [it is like Paddignton bear's coat] - mum's, this was from the early 80s.


• Boots - the one new article of clothing that cost me $50, this I shall wear for at least 3 months.


• Red scarf - bought in Singapore for $1. It is gorgeous.

So, my whole outfit cost me $51, this is not counting my bra and underwear, those are expensive and took way too long to get.
