I learnt a few things today when I went shopping with my cousin in Raffles City.
The my-style Theory
When you go shopping, get the person who's style is the closest to yours or who wants to buy almost the same stuff as you do. If you want to dress indie-street, people who are emo-punk will only say it looks disgusting. If you want to experiment with new styles, then people who are conservative and afraid to stand out of the crowd will only say your outfit looks weird. Overall, picking the wrong person to go shopping with you will not be helpful, at all. Which is why I LOVE shopping with my cousin because we both want to change our wardrobe and we got the same playsuit!!!
The correct-shopping-centre Theory
Singapore is laden with shopping centres, though still not many. Different shopping centres have different kinds of shops which cater to different kinds of people. Don't go to where you think most people your age go to shop, but to which shopping centre has most of your favourite stores. For me, its Raffles City. River Island, Topshop, ESPRIT, Accessorize, Animal... Sure, lots of teenagers LOVE going to PS, but I hate that place, there is NOTHING there. NOTHING. So, be selective, be honest and you'll save a lot of time and energy. Plus, if you think the people who hang out at a particular shopping centre will piss you off(PS has loads of act cute teens, Raffles City has almost none), then avoid that place. It only gets your mood off shopping.
The online-catalogue Theory
For those who hate browsing through the racks finding nice pieces of clothing, the internet is here to save the day! Go to the store's online website(I do it all the time) and there, you can go through ever piece of their apparel in the comfort of your own home. Then, you can proceed to go buy it at the store after you've targeted the clothes you want.
Oh and did I mention?
I hate my feet. Why on earth do they have to be so freaking small. The smallest size in Topshop(UK 3) is too big for my feet and those ladybug flats were so cute and would look so nice with black striped knee highs ARGH.
