Polka Pinkie X Orange Lacey: Suddenly Lady Girlie

after so long absent from the society

it’s time to get back to work

post CNY pre Valentine’s marketing survey

 

two women

unattractively dressed up

no preening up no nothing

of course

there is a need to stay low-profile

we are the market surveyor

not the usual shoppers

but it’s a great mistake to wear Polo tee like this

because this is exactly the uniform for a certain store

the usual mirror belongs to us

 

hills of items

labeled 9 bucks and 19 bucks, respectively

ransack ransack

that’s the thing I do the best

 

blue-white stripes dress

failed..

because this is XS

I got a pair of super wide shoulders

blue-white stripes dress

 

second item

baby blue Polka dot dress

I like one-piece item like this

comfie and convi

baby blue Polka dot dress

 

second station

flip flops

more like beach sandals

polka dot again..

in pink or brown

pink is too girlish

brown is too boyish

if there is one pair in blue…

hesitating on brown or pink polka

 

wandered to the kids zone

this is Payless…

(advertised as the biggest family shoe store

in the States)

a pretty interesting shoe store, like an outlet 

all the shoes are classified according to sizes

displayed like this along with the box

so it’s more like a self-service shoe store

the box… the box

haha now I imagining

if that Spongebob fan is going to

give birth to a baby boy

I will buy these for him..

that day will ultimately come, very soon

please remind me if I forget

Spongebob slip on

 

next station.. Rip Curl

quite a couple of attractive items

wait till the price get affordable

the perfect couple

the baby blue shirt with mini nautical logo

embroidered all over

and that dress with a lovely back (hole-in-one)

the blue couple

 

very down-to-earth looking bag

Rip Curl grey bag

 

and this one

oh my

equipped with the map

Rip Curl beach tote with map

 

I like this so so much

recently back to wearing skinny jeans, quite often

since it makes my mom happy

this is just the perfect piece at perfect price

50% off, for member cardholders 

thank goodness both of us left our cards

at home or somewhere else

keep-in-view for the time being

Hush Puppies grey skinny jeans

 

then, must-visit Zaza

lacey dress, not my kind of thing

orange, not my kind of colour

but somehow this combination is pretty good

natural-orange lace dress

 

or should I resort to the

good old LBD

how I wish I can buy both

no… make a decision

LBD with lace design

 

loots of the day:

  • baby blue polka dress X 2
  • natural-orange lace dress X 2

 

this is what best friends are like

buying the exact same items

feeling proud of it

even wearing them out on a same occasion

if we were to tally up

we have at least 10 identical items already

head to toe… everything

 

and at the final station

I was checking out a polka dot dress

because it looks familiar

my sis owns one of them

there’s no way

I wanna buy the same item after her

moreover.. I can always wait for hand-me-down

 

sorry for causing this

while I was checking out the polka dot dress

black/blue/white

blue is fine..

but it’s unbearable to see blue with laces

then my fellow surveyor fell for this colour

instead of me buying

she got this

pink polka dot dress with lace

 

but.. but

while waiting for her

I surveyed around

and randomly bought this

a little white dress

isn’t it awesome..

to sit right in front, in between Esprit and Mango

while admiring our relatively way cheaper loots

little white dress

 

this has been our strategies now

survey starts from the main-stream boutiques

while looting starts from the cheapest stores

 

everything I bought today

3 dresses is equals to

1 “further-further marked-down” item

in a branded boutique

 

not forgetting

the pair of pink polka flip flops

from Montego Bay Club

it has a lovely name, printed in the receipt

“Olivia Polka Dot Braid Ev– Hot Pink”

Ooh lala… hot pink

Olivia Polka Dot Braid flip flop

 

it is indeed a good beginning today

on our way to the girlish style

first lace dress

first orange dress

first pink polka flip flops

 

somehow it feels so weird

perhaps everything was ignited

by the braids I first attempted

not very long ago

Mini Plait X Double Braids: Play-Head

 

you know

I thought wearing something like these

will help to lower the possibility of looting

troublesome for fitting session, asides

jeans, sneakers and all

made me feel boyish

therefore killing off the desire to shop

this is kinda like the Dr. Jekyll vs Mr. Hyde theory

but unfortunately

it did not work too well 

my Vans Authentic :)

 

this is my first shopping of 2012

and since way back in Oct

a little indulgence like this

will do me good

 

because..

other than “marketing survey”

there is hardly anything

which will drag me out into the humanity

 

I relinquished myself

to lace and pink today

is this a bad thing

or a good beginning?

I simply don’t know

time will tell
