fashion rant.

spoon, mid valley.

my cousins are super gorgeous :)

i brought all 4 dresses that needed altering, or so i thought, to the tailor with mum today, as part of my long list of errands to run.

all of them are of knee length or they graze slightly above the knee, same shit nonetheless and i actually HATE dresses like that!

it's somewhat too decent for clubbing (wtf) and i think i look like a martyr -___-"

it looks awkward with heels because i feel like i'm 50 wtf.

i digressed.

anyway, THREE TIMES (cos i bought one design in 2 colors :D) i went to change and came out to mum and the tailor AND a couple of the customers because they overheard both of them, going:

dress 1: "it looks fine. what's the problem?"

*goes back grudgingly to dress room*

dress 2: "...not nice meh? nice what. no need to alter!"

*retreats again*

dress 3: "what you wanna alter!!! every piece looks good on you!"

*throw hands up in the air*

and there i was, totally exasperated, trying to explain my pet peeve about knee length dresses to two middle aged ladies.

obviously they didn't understand where i was coming from and just looked at me like -__-" and brushed me off T____T

after the whole thing, i think i'm overreacting lah and my dresses are quite nice, cos 2 customers asked me where i got them from :D

my narrow mind have set up a few fashion faux pas that i really can't stand but is generally, socially acceptable.

digressing again, an example of cardinal fashion sin is wearing leggings as pants. you should be shot.

among them:

- leggings with shorts; it makes the body look tooooo symmetrical/divided?

- shorts with heels/boots; ditto.

- clincher/belt over a teeshirt or singlet; loose long tops/tunics, i understand.

- dress + boots, esp knee length dresses with boots; looks touristy/eager beaver.

- highwaisted denim shorts; no reason really :\

- black and brown clothing together; depressing and an eyesore.

- silver and gold accessories together; too much sparkle.

- over-accessorizing; walking xmas tree.

- too many patterns; stripes and florals together err?

- pants (not jeans) that sit right in the middle between the knee and feet; what shoes do you wear that with?

i think they're all somewhat acceptable but i can't stand them X___x"

that's why i'm a boring dresser >______<

ok now that i got that off my chest, i feel better.

i think my knee length dresses look fine lah, i'll learn to like it -__-"

bedtime!
