Loving Lacoste

I have to apologize for the blog lag! Traveling, shopping, and writing simultaneously is pretty fun but when the trips come in succession, it becomes a little difficult to keep up. Not that i'd give it up any time soon, though ;) . Theres nothing like the joy of scoring a good bargain somewhere exotic and foreign and then sharing it with you guys.

I found that in Bangkok, which is fast turning to be my home away from home because of the frequency of my trips there. I'd like to say that I found it in sone place exotic, like the floating market or at the night bazaar, but I only had 2 days and that limited me to the malls. Bangkok's malls, aside from being havens with air conditioning which will save you from the city's heat, are also home to good bargains and the best finds in Southeast Asia. Thats where I came across the Lacoste sale.

Now, Lacoste is too preppy for my taste and it is available everywhere- why crowd my suitcase with something that I can buy at home, right? But the "sale" sign lured me in. A bargain is still a bargain and I don't recall the Lacoste stores at home having a 70% off bonanza.

I ended up marching to the counter, possesively clutching a cotton navy blue blazer. It was preppy, yes, but it was the sort of thing I would wear to the office to tone down the stuff I really wanted to wear (i.e prints too bright for a corporate setting, shirts too scandalous without a cover-up, jeans...). Plus it was only 1745.00 Baht (or 53.11 U.S dollars). How many Lacoste jackets are within that range, right?!

Always keep an eye open, no matter where you are ;) .
