We are not meant to be (The Elusive Dress Part 2)

Last Sunday, my sister and I went to around 4 malls to look for the dress from Dorothy Perkins and another dress from Miss Selfride. Miss Selfridge only has 4 branches here and we've already been to two of them the previous day. So our first stop was at Bugis for the DP, and it's no longer available there. Next stop was Marina Square for the MS dress. Didn't find it there too. Then, we went to OG Orchard for another DP, still didn't find it there. Our last stop was at Paragon for the last MS shop, we found the dress there but they don't have my size. Sad sad. The branch manager was nice enough to tip us that new collections arrive every Tuesday and the best time to go and shop at their stores are from Tuesday evening to Thursday to avoid the weekend shoppers. We went home with tired legs and feet and I also realized that we didn't buy anything from any of the 4 malls we've been... Hmmm... That's weird. Hehehe.

So yesterday, I went to the Great World City mall after going to the salon to still look for the DP dress. By this time, I've resigned to the idea that I may not be able to find it anymore. And as expected, I didn't. I also realized that there are only 2 DP stores I didn't visit and I'm too tired and exhausted to go to Tampines or find the direction for People's Park. 

Dorothy Perkins Branches:
BHG Bugis
Great World City
Marina Square
OG Orchard Point
OG People's Park
Plaza Singapura
Raffles City
Tampines 1
Wisma Atria

Miss Selfridge Branches:
Marina Square
Paragon
Raffles City
Wisma Atria

Oh well, I guess we're not meant to be. And I'm ok. 

I think I'm good at letting go and I'm not entirely sure if that's a good thing or a bad one...

On a different note, it's ok to turn down the guy asking you out while he is rinsing (and attending to) your hair, right? I figured if things go wrong, I think I can totally rock a short hair do! :p

The Elusive Dress


A bit sad... I went to 3 different Dorothy Perkins shop yesterday just to find this particular dress. I saw it first last Wednesday at Marina Square. It was the last piece for that particular design and it was my size. Unfortunately, there was something wrong with it so I chose not to buy it then. So yesterday, before going to our swimming lessons, I went to Wisma Atria to see if they have it at their branch but they don't. I figured, there are still at least 5 or so Dorothy Perkins in Singapore that I can go and visit. After swimming and the movie, we went to Plaza Singapura and we found it there, again last piece and my size. To my dismay, there was also something wrong with that piece. The girl at that branch was nice enough to call the Raffles City Mall branch to ask if they also have it, and they do! So we went there to check it out. For the 3rd time, it was the last piece and still my size. But the big "but" is, it is also not in a very good condition... :( For a dress that'll cost me a hundred bucks, I at least want it to be in the best condition. Sigh... 


I guess I'll be doing a "Singapore mall tour" later or the coming week just to find this elusive dress.
