emay, have you got a dress?
my colleague asked me on thu 'emay, have you got a dress?' and i paused for a moment and realised that aside from two formal dresses i've worn for weddings and formal functions, and two old spaghetti strap dress both of which are collecting dust in my cupboard, i actually don't wear dresses.
i don't sashay down the streets in nice flowy dresses which seem to be quite the rage these days, esp coupled with black tights... black tights and emay just don't go together due to incredibly huge calves and thighs... but a dress i had to find for something work related. and it had to be a casual dress that one could wear to the beach! aiyoyo!
i actually called my good friend who knows fashion at her fingertips and asked her 'what's a sundress look like?' i had all of one evening to buy one... so i hit far east plaza hoping that somehow one of the many tiny girly shops in there would have a choice find for a tight budget of $20 (the amt i was willing to spend for something i didn't intend to buy)
so i headed for this fashion first. cos it's known for more affordable items. but after searching every single rack that had anything that remotely resembled a sundress i found nothing... so i wove in and out of the many shops and found some pretty ones (which were like $69.90! and the salesgirl was explaining it was fr korea and a good buy... no way!) and some hideous ones (who wears such things????) and finally tucked in a lil cornered i spied some dresses... many of them spotted a really low neck line... but xiang said one of them was pretty and asked me to just try it on. *gulp* first dress in ages!
and i tried it... and it was such a pretty dress... think there's something abt dresses that makes a girl feel awfully feminine. and it was such a soft satin-like material that swished around as i moved... a nice retro design with bold orange and brown floral prints on white... and it was $25! 25% more than what i had hoped for, but i was desperate... tired.. and hungry... so i agreed... and to my amazement, there was a storewide discount of 20%! so God provided me with a pretty dress for the exact price i was willing to fork out! amazing!!!! praise God!
heehee... now i might just explore more dresses... =)
