New year, New me, New clothes



Holidays are out and school is in! Back to the same old morning routine- wake up, bathe and spend probably 30 minutes rummaging through the wardrobe in hopes of finding something decent to wear to school. I know, I've been in that situation countless times, trust me.



Beauty over school
8AM alarm clocks and school can’t be matched! It’s either we wake up early and have enough time to dress up or wake up late and have NO time to dress up. Either way, all of us would like to look good when we strut down the classroom corridors, don’t we?

Money is always a problem
I bet most you have spent so much money during the holidays. Be it spending on concerts, online shopping or dates (cheeky girls ay). We taste the consequences of our expenditure now, today. With canteens selling Nasi Lemak at $3.50, it’s almost impossible to keep our wallets full. That $10 note you have left in your wallet, would probably be gone by the end of this week.


So, how can we keep up with the hundreds of students who wear Dr Martens to school, or Abercrombie tees? Let me introduce to you one magical word, “FLEA!

Have no fear, flea markets are here
Flea markets are commonly found in many areas in Singapore. It is a type of bazaar that lends space to those who want to sell merchandises. These booths are mostly handled by teenagers to middle-aged adults. A common example would be 
selling pre-loved items at a cheap price. Basically anything and everything varying from clothes to accessories to handbags, you name it. It also caters to boys as well. So don’t leave your boyfriends at home!

Here are 3 major flea markets to look out for in the following months:

  
1. FLEA PARTY

I hope I have helped you chase those morning blues away. Here’s to a whole new world of shopping without spending too much and to a weekend that you can look forward to! If you want to know when the next flea is coming up, visit FORFLEASAKE

P.S. strut those corridors with your new clothes and let everyone turn and say “who’s that girl?"... or at least we can imagine.
