i changed my blog skin because i can. and i like it. it reminds me of the colour of my room when i first moved in 7 years ago. 7 years. doesn't feel that long though.
somebody asked me if the dark leather sling bag i was carrying was my Mom's.
'no, it's my sister's. why?'
'haha. it looks like bag makcik bawak pergi kerja.'
from her tone, she was really trying to say, 'your bag is ugly'.
'oh, so you're trying to say it looks old-fashioned?'
'YES!!'
haven't you ever heard of
vintage?
i looked at the bag she was carrying and the bags she has ever carried before and could only laugh.
"different people have different tastes what...", said another friend in an effort to perk me up.
so true. but having
different tastes and
having a distasteful sense of style are 2 very different things.
i love that bag. not because it's from MANGO. ok, maybe partly 'cause it's from MANGO. but also mainly because it's of
good quality and has a nice feel & texture of
real leather. it is also very
simple & and has a bit of a
vintage feel to it. and it's from
MANGO!
im not one of those people who swears upon branded goods. but more often than not, people go for branded & designer stuff because of it's quality & unique design. and it's usually worth investing your money in a product as such. only if you have the moolahs, that is.
i should probably start carrying those adorable hello kitty bags like nor. they're cute, pretty and affordable! and if that somebody says i look like
makcik nak pegi kerja again, i'll tell her where SHE can go with her bags! hmph.
