wearing socks was intentional. reason: i was visiting the big boss' place; there'd be many other colleagues there, so i was shy about exposing my ugly feet. and since i haven't figured out how to wear such socks with skirts or dresses, i wore the jeggings, which're tight. i thought i'd lost weight (someone observed so and i could fit into my cheongsam comfortably). jeggings and socks weren't exactly advisable in today's heat.
wearing the hasbeens lookalike wasn't that intentional. it was between a pair of
maroon 9wests and the naturalizers (or is it more like hasbeens resemble naturalizers?). i got in and out of a few outfits before settling for this one. the tunic's never worn. so you see, there's no point in buying
new clothes for
CNYs. lol. anyway, the granny shoes looked better. truth be told, i'd prefer to wear the 9wests. reason: i didn't wish to look typical. i mean, everyone seemed to be doing vintage these days. i was honestly not keen on looking too common.
ever since i entered the blogging world, i'd gradually toned down the vintage vibe in the way i dressed. and i wasn't already doing full-blown vintage in the first place. the naturalizers had been ignored for sometime now. and frankly, wearing socks with such shoes could be potentially embarrassing. i'm not talking about being teased for looking like a granny. you know how socks could be slippery? now go imagine the scenes of embarrassment.
but i know it's self-contradicting. think about it: some, or many of us, would like to declare that we don't like to be slaves to trends. so we invest in classic clothing items. so there're many of us who'd end up looking exactly like each other. and isn't classic = vintage?
