"gap" in my pocket...

i have been a fan of 'gap' ever since i set eyes on it during my student years (gap was not available in malaysia then).

i still remember saving my money (or was it swiping my student credit card...:p) to get that much sought after hoodie with G-A-P emblazoned on the front. i believe i had one in pink and another in grey.

gap also has the best print ads. if i could describe it in 3 words...it would be simple, clean and sophisticated. sometimes, they would also have special celebrity campaign ads...which is
usually during festive seasons or special launches

my love for the brand did not stop when i graduated from uni.
the clean lines translated well into my work outfits (dress code: smart casual?).

so, my heart skipped a beat when i found out that gap is on sale!

just about everything in the shop is up to 30% off. which is not much...but still something.
especially since gap prices are rocket high! :p

so, after looking at (just about) every piece in the suria klcc outlet...i have shortlisted the below.

gathered long tank
i want to get this in black...i love the fact that it is LONG. :)
sale price = approx. rm80


Roll-up sleeve pintucked blouse
i love shirts. especially those with roll up button tab detailing. and this is long (and baggy) enough to pair it with a pair of skinnies or leggings.
sale price = approx. rm150

there is actually another top that i like...but i can't find it on the website.

i have put them aside for the meantime. i can't quite decide whether to get all of these items...some of these items...or maybe get this ONE item which i fell in love with...

this is such a cute dress! it has pockets, which i am quite obsessed with recently...
the only problem is that it is a short dress, which i rarely or never wear...AND it is sleeveless. i am just wondering if i should just buy this for future beach holidays...:p
this dress however "masks" my big hips...(woo hoo!) with it's empire waist...
sale price = approx. rm140

i also have another issue...

ZARA sale starts this Thursday
(25 June 2009)

so should i even bother getting anything at gap?
or should i SAVE for the zara sale??
decisions...decisions...decisions...

so, the SANE thing to do would be...

1. NOT to buy anything from gap YET
2. Scope the zara sale
3. Count the potential damage
4. Minimise the potential damage
   

p/s: so my fellow shopaholics...see u at zara...:) don't forget to "poke" me if you see me there!
