usually when i get up in the morning nowadays,
no one's at home.
my mum and sis are at work and my lil sis is at school.
it's a little hard to get used to, since the past 21 years of my life - i had a maid.
but not anymore since october last year.
anyways, tt's not the main point of this post.
my mum happened to be at home this morning and,
she made some comments after seeing me wear some particular new shirt i bought.
i don't remember the exact words she used though and it was in chinese.
Mummy: "diana, why are you always buying those cheap clothes online?
you have a huge pile of clothes bought online not worn before in your cupboard!
i went to see them and all are of sub-standard quality, or too big for you.
don't buy clothes online already.. you won't even wear them am i right?
you are graduating this year and going out to work soon so don't buy those clothes online already.
you cant even wear them to work, since it would be embarrassing, given the quality.
next time buy clothes from the shops, at least you can see the quality and sizes..etc"
my reply: "i do wear those clothes i buy online! if its big, its okay. at least i can still wear it.
and btw, those dresses in that stack are from UK (i didnt say ASOS since she wouldnt know) and are not dirt cheap and lousy.
i just keep them first and will wear them for work next time."
her reply: "you don't bluff lah!
by then, those dresses would have been out of trend.
i am sure you won't wear them"
points to note:
i do not follow trends.
i dont deny that many of my clothes are cheap, and i am super cheapo
but at least i have variety in my closet and i have more to choose from every day.
some people have wayyy expensive clothes in their closets but they end up
having to repeat wearing the same outfit like 1 week later or so?
so, cheap does not equal lousy.
and, i would rather have five $10 shirts, shorts, whats not etc i like than
one $50 dress from miss sixty ( infact i don't think they have $50 dresses.. they definitely cost more)
btw, i am wearing a $7 shirt now shipped over from korea..
show you a picture i just took:
i mean it doesnt look expensive but it doesnt look like $7 either what...
and to show you that my mother can't tell the difference between cheap and expensive stuff either
and yet wants to complain about my online purchases,
here are pictures of stuff i bought on ASOS (not dirt cheap k) which i am keeping for work and the coat for my korea trip.
oh, and pretty models for you to look at.. obviously they look good in the dresses so the dresses don't look cheap.
so next time someone tells me what i bought or what i am wearing or what i have look cheap,
i will tell them i like my cheap stuff as much as the other expensive stuff i have.
what do you want to do about it? :)
