Shoesunday… swee!!

during that outing last month

before Cheryl left for UK

we saw this at Hush Puppies outlet

50% off flip flops

but only size 9 left

ok fine

*

two weeks ago

during another trip with N

saw them again at Voir Gallery

and there were size 8

but we were on our way to lunch place

thought will come later

oops…i just forgot till i got home

and along the way had grabbed

another pair of flora sandals

*

thought will go back on Monday

but something happened at home

and the scheme went pending

*

till last Sunday

back at Aeon again

no more sales at the HP outlet

so was Jusco

*

and last Saturday

back at Voir Gallery

disappointed again

sales period was over

*

next day, Sunday

went Madam King with mom

that is the oldest departmental store

in Melaka, at Jalan Bunga Raya

*

there was sales

no worries, it’s not meant for me

all those housewives’ stuffs

kitchen utensils, towels etc etc

and cosmetic and personal stuffs

always got my St. Ives here

*

i didn’t expect to buy anything from here

casually browsing the shoes section

checking out a pair of sandals at Scholl

*

that’s so old school

Scholl

when i was young i always mistook it as School

*

told my mom how i missed the HP flip flops

and she encouraged me to get this

and no more not-for-raining-days Roxy

*

for aunties of the earlier generation

ehem, am not talking about my mom

Scholl is the super brand

market leader for sandals and casual shoes

“Scholl leh, at least rm100 one”

“but can tahan mah, and not pain one”

*

comfort is the promise

but talking about style...erm…

yet i just realized

the tagline is actually

*

Comfort with Style

tagline

*

do i really give up flip flops

and going for Scholl?

haha

so this is how my pair of Scholl looks like

*

in my view

it is the most colourful range already

it’s called Tropicana

*

not as stylish as HP

and no doggie’s paw print

aww… woof woof

*

i guess i don’t really need it for the time being

there are two pairs of yet-to-be worn

Roxy Cherry        Thai flora

*

it’s to extinguish the “ambition” in me

in hunting for the HP flip flops

and i don’t own a pair of white sandals yet

do I? maybe…

*

moreover this can be shared with mom

we used to share one pair

pink-yellow, brandless one

imitation of Crocs design

which lasted more than 6 months

*

on that day itself

after lunch

i tidied up all the shoes at home

took me whole afternoon

although all this while

i thought i wasn’t really a shoe buyer

*

the problem is i have been wearing

the few pairs over and over again

most of the time flip flops

the rest were abandoned just like that

especially most of the covered shoes

they were meant to please my mom

she doesn’t like me to

wear flip flops all the time

*

from here

the mess         

*

my sports collection

hey i thought i am not really a sport person

orange dominates

*

but i gonna continue my mission

on the white sneakers collection

Puma from India

HK is the next stop, hehe

whitezz

*

finally

everything done

it can last me for a month

without repeating the same shoesthe tower

*

i was motivated by G-fun

from her lookbook

look at the shoes tower of her

sifu sifu salute her

*

yet most of the time

she was wearing that pair of

transparent Converse

that’s the problem with shopaholic

when i am wearing flip flops

over and over again

i have the illusion that i have

very very few pair of proper shoes

just flip flops
