Fashion awareness?

Today..is a holiday... yes! First Saturday off after so long... hahahaa. I've set the alarm for 9.00 am.. well, I don't want to oversleep.. I am meeting my friend at 10.30am. When alarm sounded at 9.00am, I am still lazying on my bed.. cozy in the blanket (it was raining this morning), it was cool and nice to sleep and dream a bit about our imaginary 'boyfriend' (shh... don't ask.. I think most girl do have.. it is only a matter of how they looked like..hhehehehe). When my friend called at 9.20am asking to meet at 10.00am instead.. I am like "oh my god I haven't wake up!!!". Still, I made it on time.

We went walk walk around and shop shop a little.. (I am not a shopping kaki... just that, nothing to do.. no boyfriend yet, I have the time to do that..). Yet, I don't intend to buy anything.. but then.. temptations, with all the nice clothes and discount they are giving.. oh it is just so hard to pretend you don't see anything. Worst thing is, I never got anything off from the discount shelf... mine was all normal priced merchandise! Well, the truth is, discount item is either out of size, out of colour or out of trend. And girl with my size, body shape (plumpy and short)...who only fit into specific cuttings.. specific fashion (old fashion - simple, nothing too flowery or too many patterns... just plain simple..).

I envied girls that can fit into anything and then look so damn good in it. And most of all, even if they don't seems nice in it, they got the gut to wear it!! I am thinking.. am I being too 'conservative', or am I being like too old for all this (like what Dom said .. "maybe age caught up with me") ... or I am so well aware of my own 'assets' that I only want to look nice in things on me? I don't know.. have tried to bring in the change.. but then it is just ...NOT me..gosh...

Well, even as a teenager, I am opposed to trend. I never go with what is in and what is out in the fashion world. To me, the most important thing is I wear comfortably and I feel great in it. People might see it as it is plain and simple.. but that is my style. You will not find anything with BIG patches of flower in my wardrobe.. or thing you see other people wearing. Even if you did, mine will definitely be the most simple ones... swear! Well, if one day a guy happens to fall for me.. he will have to bear with me... that I am not a trendy girl like the others. (guys sometimes do hope their girls to be pretty and trendy). By being myself, it also meant that I am saving his pocket.. hahahaa.. anyway I don't need his sponsorship for clothing.

Getting the perfect clothes for myself is a BIG task. First, I can never fit into a long pants without alteration .. I am not even middle height (5' 1"). I have to make sure the pants fit my butt.. that is the difficult part. I am voluptous on the butt part (big butt).. but this butt is driving me crazy when it comes to fit into pants and denim skirt! Most of the time.. when I can fit into the butt nicely it will be loose at the waist.. sigh.. and I found my solution that day. The denim shop was really patient with me.. make sure I fit my butt comfortably..altered the length and even the waist for me.. so I fitted on the butt and the waist!

Moving on to the top.. ah.. this one.. must be simple and plain or just simple patterns. I am plumpy.. no doubt.. so S size will NOT fit. M sometimes do.. but for some other times I need a L. For formal wear, (this is tricky), L make it for the body fit but the sleeve length (for long sleeves) will be long enough for me to act in Chinese Soap Opera... (get what I mean?). M will fit the arms length on the sleeves.. but I cannot sit.. cause if I do.. all the button will be in dire state to pop out soon. Headache right? I resort to sleeveless or short sleeves.. :-D

Skirts.. I like them.. cause I don't have to worry about my butt not fitting in and no alterations for short skirt and i don't look that short in short skirt. However, the skirt has to be SIMPLE. Nowadays, the skirts are fluffy with a lot of laces, cuffs and curls ( I don't know what it is ).. which will make me looked like an oversize pumpkin with legs if i am in it! And the colour, I am good in dark colour skirt.. it makes me look slim and easy to match with any top. But nowadays, fashion has it that skirt is now like made out of variety of cloths. One skirt can have 3 different patterns imprinted cloths on it ! I don't know how to define it.. just yikes!

Anyway, today has been fruitful.. cause I have been able to get a nice green top that makes me look nice and a black skirt.. heheheehe..
