Went for a little shopping after P.Invest.-choir-piano lesson today, and I was looking around almost the whole Orchard Road trying to find a decent birthday present (skirt) for my sis. And seeing how she just doesn't wear skirts, a change would be welcomed. Most unfortunately, the black mini-skirts I spotted were either too expensive ($46?!), too cheap-looking, too long, or too well,
frilly. I cannot imagine how people can wear them and walk on the street without seriously worrying about doing a Marilyn Monroe (in other words, exposing
everything).
I looked through almost every single piece of garment from
Topshop and
Forever21, which was a bad idea, because I somehow cannot envision my sis prancing around in a bright purple and neon orange halter. :x
I
finally bought a $15 pair of earrings for her and one for me from Forever21 which was totally worth it [
heehee]. Thank goodness. And they were pretty too! Problem is my mum just told me that grandma has already bought my sis earrings as well, and her earrings cost $30! Thankfully I still agree with the adage "it's the thought that counts" lol.
I'd best start practising the dance. If not, I'd definitely look like a dancing chicken without its head.
