fashion police needed.

So Jia min and I went out today, and after a while we started going around into shops trying to find some dresses to play around with and try on. I swear, in all the shops we went to, all the dresses were so disappointing, some were hideous. I thought I'd be positive and think "I'm sure Brunei will have at least one or two decent dresses" but after what I've seen today, I've totally given up on the fashion sense here.

There were complete clashes of colour, tacky sequins sewn onto the wrong places, unnecessary ruffles here and there, extra material hanging here and there that made dresses look even worse, way-too-bright and burst of blinding coloured print, waist bands that ruined dresses that had potential. these just added to the fact that the material for 98% of all the dresses we saw, was atrocious, the material was horrible.

Even the two dresses we tried, we had to force ourselves to pick two otherwise the whole point of playing around and trying on for fun was defeated. we went into "Butik Eileen Chen", and were flipping through the dresses in hope to find ONE decent-looking one, and then we heard a strangely familiar voice right behind us. i hear jia min hissing out my name and i look to my left and her face is half in shock, half in amusement. So I look around to see what she's on about, then i see a familiar head. Black wavy-ish hair, strange accent.. Ms Then was a foot away from us asking the sales assistant.. "I want something plaaaeeennn and simpeel to wear for work" So we burst out laughing and run outside. HAHA. Anyway, saw Mr and Mrs Hollis and they gave us weird looks cause we were meant to be at home studying. heh heh. Rebels.

I would've taken pictures of the 10 worst dresses of 13th January 08 showcased at the mall, but the idea just popped into my head an hour after I left.

okay. no more talking. back into study mode 8-)
