Where my boobs at???

Managed to get myself a coat for my upcoming trip.


By golly, shopping for cooler climes is a bloody headache in a tropical country.


Also, I have discovered that wearing said coat makes my boobs completely disappear :-/


It's not just me... got home, showed mom and The Sister what I bought and there were mutual tryouts. Which got The Sister to bring out HER coats bought for her trip to Japan last year. Same thing. No Boobs.


There's something about the Hogan women shoulders... The Sister and I have the same problem apparently : our shoulders are pretty much straight-ish. No gentle, gracious, womanly shoulders ala Audrey Hepburn. Nope. My sister's primary fear is that with coat and scarf, she'll look all hunched up. Which made me quip Hunchback of Singapore and do the Igor shuffle. lol 


That did not endear me to The Sister. But I digress.


Not withstanding that most of Singapore's clothes for women come in from Hong Kong, Korea or Japan and I have somehow gone down one dress size, you're STILL looking at small cuttings and patterns. Result? Coats are rather fitting across our abdomen and shoulders, and the heavy material - yes, you guessed it - flattens everything.




I never thought I would miss my boobs! It's frickin' hilarious...
