Last Saturday I went to Sungei Wang after work to meet Jocey for CNY clothes shopping. While waiting for her, I grabbed some quick snack for lunch. Had a corn-in-a-cup and a single scoop of chocolate gelato, yummy~ Finally she arrived and the moment that we saw each other, we were like, EEP~! We did discuss to wear shorts, but little did we know that we end up wearing extremely similar outfits! Both of us wearing shocking pink tank tops in the same ribbed knitted fabric, and similar black shorts with the hems folded up. I must say, it was weird to be walking around looking like twinnies haha, that sure captured people’s attention.
Late evening, my mom, sis and bro purposely came to meet us at Kimgary just for tea. Well, me and Jocey had dinner and they had tea hehe.
Oh I must tell you about a certain shop. As random as Sungei Wang shops go, I didn’t get the name of that shop, but I think it’s on the 1st floor? Anyway, they have a lot of items but no customers. Wonder why? It’s either because they’re too expensive for what they’re worth, or the retail team are too pushy to make a sale. I didn’t see anything I like, so I was just hanging around waiting for Jocey to try on some dresses. The salesgirl that attended to me kept recommending stuff to me that I disliked. In the end I took one top to try just to layan her. Pity her that she’s trying so hard lol. I guess it’s fine, but I don’t like it, plus it’s too expensive for what it’s worth. The salesgirl seemed disappointed, but sorry lah.
But what pissed me off was the salesguy. He’s one of em lala-looking dudes. Tall and skinny, wearing a deep-V tshirt with overcoat, skinny jeans, and super waxed blonde hair, with fringe covering one eye. He didn’t look like he was working there lol. He recommended me a really ugly outfit. Imagine this: Pastel yellow woven halterneck with ruffles, paired with a very faded denim minivest, matched with a light brown weaved belt with a heavy buckle. His english had a western accent, I dunno…
“Very trendy in the Taiwan style,” he said. “In fashion and sweet colours,” he said. I felt insulted. When will I ever be dressed to look “sweet”? In my mind, I was screaming, “That is the uglist match-up piece of shit I’ve ever seen!”… But of course I just politely declined that “It’s ok, that’s not my style.” What he said next made me sooo wanna beat the hell out of him.
“Well, you don’t always need to keep to your style only. That’s what make shopping fun, you try new styles all the time. Or else it would be very boring.”
Dude. Ok…
1. You don’t even know what I prefer and you’re recommending me an ugly match.
2. My pink-toned skin looks awful in yellow.
3. Faded denim? Fine. Denim vest? So not!
4. Brown belt with that faded denim? That is so outdated, like 20 years ago.
5. You’re giving me advice on shopping? That’s insulting!
6. That is seriously an ugly match.
7. I bet it’s expensive too.
If only he knew that he’s talking to a fashion designer with standards.
