Hi
I'm sure everyone of us knows ourselves very well huh especially our taste on the things we possess!
And I'm pretty sure everyone or some of us have this tendency to shop for same category of things; clothes for examples.
Some would find themselves end up buying blouses or denims or crop tops.
While some would stop by some MAC booth for some new shades of lipstick~
Whereas I would always end up buying handbags!
And there are 10 special criteria for me to purchase handbags;
1. Nothing black
2. It must be in shapes. could be rectangular, square, round, oval
3. Must come with long straps
4 to 10. Something rigid
Special appreciation to the sister as she flew back to her second newly home with some of my collections, still some space for new loves!
And yes my collections come within this radius of criteria, except for that black schoolbag because I was desperately in need of backpack, the books were so damn heavy! And that some handmade patterned bag pack for being not rigid, because there was this one fine day when my sister and I went over-shopped in Turkey hence the bag!
Last time when I was in Malaysia, I was scrolling the website of some local designers' handbag , I was thinking of buying something off the radius.
You know the feeling when you sometimes want to appear different from usual.
But the filter was still devoid of something black, I don't know I personally have something intersecting with black handbag, where everybody on earth would go for something black so that they could match it with every clothes they have.
I inspected the bags thoroughly one by one and came this one hobo bag that I thought I would buy!
TADAA! The hobo bag that would make me look different, casual yet classy, not structured, would match him (him because handbags are love) with some black plain blouse to enhance the vibrant red colour and the so local batik contemporary Southern-East Asian pattern! Wow such an ambitious girl I was, yes I know~
I asked Mummy was that any chance that we could go shopping or else I would just go for online shopping.
You could guess the answer when you saw me and Mummy were already strolling around in the mall, looking at the finely arranged handbags; there were satchels, hobos, slings, totes, cross-bodies and yada yada omg love is everywhere!
And yeah there was the hobo that would make myself look different, I took a long thorough inspection of him, was on the top of the shelf, had to tip-toe to reach him, excuse my shortness~
I thought I would just pick that hobo guy and pay, but no I didn't. I began to look at other bags, there were these satchels of my radius of criteria, I looked at them so interestedly. Out of conscious, I asked the salesgirl to unchain one of the satchel where he's actually pink, and rigid and rectangular with long straps!
I hang the satchels on my shoulder and walked towards the giant mirror, yeah he looked so me!
I giggled inside, I asked Mummy for her opinion, of course she would say he's good, firstly because I'm her beloved daughter secondly because the bag really is.
Suddenly, I remembered I'd already owned something dirty pink from zara Italy outlet because on the opposite shoulder at that moment, hung that freaking bag, how could I forget!
I didn't look like I've bought anything new, remember the mantra; was to make me look different!
Then my eyes fell for this one satchel in mustard yellow and rigid and rectangular with long straps!
There the salesgirl came again to unchain the bag, same moves as before, yes again this looks good on me, he's so me! And he's mustard, I don't have anything mustard in smaller size.
And I turned to Mummy before I'd ever pop with the question, Mummy already nodded her head.
'Yes, this is the bag I would buy!'
this is how the mustard satchel that would make myself look the same looks like, on the top of it, he has a lot of compartments in him, it's easier to organize all the things inside!
We went to pay and suddenly I remembered the hobo that would make myself look different.
OMG what to do? The hobo bag was the one that I've had in my mind every single night three days in row, the vibrant red hobo bag that will match gorgeously with some black plain trendy local designer's blouse with some eye-catching-arranged impacted beads on it!
But no I couldn't buy two handbags in one day, buying new bag when you already had some unused on the shelves was already considered a guilt but pleasure, let alone buying two when you actually have already known where all this would settle down! I sighed.
Later that day, I learnt something new, no matter how bad it is how usual it is, the sparkling of excitement in your eyes reflects how much you actually like it, I might have bought the hobo that would make myself look different, and yeah I may look differ when I wear it but I couldn't feel the excitement the way I went parallel with my interest, with my taste.
Same goes to other things in the world, how bad your option is to some people, how they say you could do better with other option, they'd never understand the sparkling of excitement you have in your eyes when you have your option!
You know you're so bored with life when you find yourself hanging out with a pineapple LOL!
on the side notes, Pottery does make a really scrumptious pizza, the dough-now-bread is so soft you wanna cry! So delish! I have no idea that the bread could go that soft.
Okay that's all I guess!
Till we meet again.
Good day.
Assalamualaikum.
