I was looking for a new year dress when my mum happened to pass me one which she got recently. As usual, it is a nice looking one, red and white stripes and various patterns. What I am surprised about is that it is a tube, and a rather short one. The entire dress goes down to above my knees, probably around mid or three quarter down my thighs!
Hmm… why would she, of all people, get that kind of dress for me, when she was always frowning upon me being “too exposed” in my dressing? Then I realize there are detachable straps, so knowing her, she would kind of expect me to wear that together with the straps, but knowing me, I will wear it as a tube without the straps.
Luckily she had not seen the green dress which my best friend passed to me. She will have a flip when she sees just how low the back is! The dress may be a perfect fit body wise, but it is still a tad long for me, so unless I am wearing four-inch heels, otherwise the hem will keep sweeping the floor.
The ski jacket which I told my dad to get for me from
I guess on the ski slopes, functionality counts more than appearance, as after all when people are busy skiing and snowboarding and tumbling and falling, who will have the time to look at others? Now I really cannot wait to go on another ski trip!
Having said that, I needed shoes as the current pair I have is just about worn out. Thus, I needed to get new shoes for new year as well as for work. After looking through all the shoe stores, including the ones I always go to, somehow I am not able to find a pair of shoes I like, and is a comfort fit at the same time.
So I went online. I have bought clothes and jewellery online, so why not shoes? Of course, shoes are risky because the sizes may be different, and they may not be comfortable. Still, I took the risk because I managed to find two pairs of very nice shoes! One is in bronze the other is in black.
I admit, they are not that cheap as compared to normal heels from other stores. I was debating whether to get them because I want to stick to my resolutions. But it is either that or go barefoot or wear flip flops, as I have not been able to see a pair of shoes I fancy in the stores here. New Year is in a week’s time, so I need to get a pair by then!
Besides, one pair can last for quite a long while, so take it as a long term investment! They may be party shoes, but they are suitable for special occasions and work as well. The heels range from three to four and half inches, so at least I can appear “taller” when wearing them!
When they arrived, I was really pleased because the shoes look as good as they do in the pictures. And they are a perfect fit! Seems like I do know my size! The shoes are comfortable and easy to walk around in, despite being “high”. First time ordering shoes online and it is a success!
