Hello, my name is Dawn and I am a shopaholic.

I know that my recent employment and the receipt of my first paycheck entitles me to spending on myself or "treating myself" as Estee says but I think my groaning wardrobe begs to differ. Even my workmates have commented on my spending.

Working at your favorite clothing store is both a blessing and a bane; you get staff discounts but now you have a legitimate reason to keep buying clothes because you "need" them for work.

I think I'm going to be terrible at saving. My poor nest egg. It's going to take ages to build up.

In any case, I'm happy with the gorgeous jewellery I bought; I shall henceforth be known as Leann's muse because I inspire her to make hot, customized pieces for me. I'm also extremely pleased with the midnight blue vintage dress I bought (although I can't wear it to work cos' I'm going to alter it and make it shorter.); the white belt to go with it; the black dress and cardigan to go with it. Of course, the light blue summer dress from Jay Jay's and the pink cardigan with the red satin pockets and ribbon from Peter Alexander was just pure me spoiling myself rotten.

I'm wearing my new black dress and cardigan to work. At least I'd look pretty at Sandeep's dinner thing-y.

Oh...and I must say I love where I work but after Stephen's birthday drinks tonight at Lounge, I really do start to love my workmates more, especially, Nyssa, who kept kissing me and gave me her "fart kisses".

Off to bed. I'm so knackered and I'm opening the store with Garth tomorrow and staying till closing.

TTFN

p/s: Thank you Nina and Sarah, for following me around patiently while I tried on oodles of clothes although you guys were tired. *KISSES*
