Wardrobe expansion!

A month ago, before I started on a XNDO programme, I went to my shopaholic friend’s house to help offload some clothes from her bulging wardrobe.

She had some clothes and a lot of jeans which she could not wear anymore as she has lost weight. They were quite new and mainly branded stuff like Armani, DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger, Polo Ralph and Levis. I was simply appalled at her Jeans addiction. I don’t think she kept count on how many jeans she has. And she keeps adding on with every shopping trip. She could have paid the down payment for a condo if she hadn’t spent on all these clothes!

I had a customer, a rich one from Korea, who had 200 pairs of jeans. She was equally appalled when I told her I had only 4 pairs of jeans. But seriously, I calculated that if you wore a different pair for every weekend, it will take 2 years for her to go through the collection. Then she moved house and could not find her jeans. Gosh! That was a very expensive collection.

It was both tedious and fun to try on the clothes and there were two pairs of Armani jeans which were quite tight but she insisted I took them. “Come back for more clothes when you get thinner,” she said.

Well, today, my colleague Huimin saw my back view and was not sure if it was me as she thought I was chubbier previously. I was, yes, in the Armani jeans, which now fits to a tee. J That’s 3 weeks into the XNDO programme.

Now I worry about not fitting into the bigger DKNY jeans…
