Anyway, since this is such a short post, I thought I'd do more outfit pictures. I know I'm doing a lot of teasing about the ghetto mall in Kwai Fong, but I do have a fair number of outfits that I got there.
For example, this cream chiffon dress and the cream skirt I'm wearing underneath as a petticoat. I bought this dress (and two others) from a shop that specializes in this kind of uber-feminine girly clothes. The dresses range from HKD50 to HKD70. This one was about HKD70.
It's one size fits all in the shop, and you can't try the clothes on. I have to say that I was a bit nervous, and I asked the sales girl if I was too fat for the clothes. She reassured me that they would stretch around my fats, but that they would be short on me. Short skirts are no problem!
I'm wearing the dress with a belt from H&M, my opera gloves, thigh high boots, and a vintage velvet jacket I got in Toronto. I think it's from a theatre company that went bankrupt and had to sell their costumes. Yes, I know my iPod is stuck on my camera.
As you can tell, I still like to dress a bit goth.
Here is what the dress looks like on its own. I tried to remove the rosette on the blouse, but it wouldn't come off, dammit. As for the belt, I try not to buy stuff from H&M, but I confess that many of my belts and tights are from there, as well as a jacket and a couple of blouses. I just really don't want to support fast fashion, though, you know? Tsk on me.
I bought this skirt from another shop in the ghetto mall in Kwai Fong. I believe it was HKD50. I really love it, it's so versatile. I really don't know when I'll be able to go back to Kwai Fong, but I'll keep putting up some entries about the stuff I got there when I was regularly going for work. Because I was traveling there twice a week for about six months, I did end up picking up quite a few things (including this completely delicious Thai caramelized dried fish snack that was so spicy, it made my lips swell up, but I couldn't stop eating it).
