Two days straight my errands always take me to the malls more often than not.
It is just RED all over!
Big RED SALE signs all over the place!
Guess it's time to mark down those ridiculously overpriced winter collections ey?
The past year winter clothing has popped up fashionably on the windows of popular (foreign) high end shops. Really beautiful I should say. Yes, one can be tempted to buy a 4000-peso leather (with fleeced lining mind you) just for the heck of it. Well, not to mention, use for about 3 to 5 times. Guess that frequency does not sound bad. Afterall, my friend, Gwenie just told me 'since when did fashion become practical'. Hehehe. I agree. We were talking about my black MUJI boots. So, maybe a couple would rack up a bill of Php5000 on winter cloths and accessories for their trip to chilly Asean countries or Europe or the US. (Hmmm...Europe I understand but wouldn't it be more practical to buy them in the US when you're there?).
People in this town use to go to surplus shops for the winter collections. They're unique, well used, but will only cost from P150- 500. Not bad really for stuff you would only use for a 5-day trip abroad.
So why the coming of winter clothings in this part of the world?
So ok, I bought a pair of gloves. Well, they were yummy. All velvety buttery leathery suede beauty of gloves. HAHAHAHA! Didn't come cheap, really. I was on a hunt for the perfect hat too. But everything good and nice on my head were priced P1000 and above. I decided it was too much for a whistle. So why didn't I think the P900 price tag of the gloves was too much for a whistle? Only fashion heaven can say, actually. HAHAHAHA
Seriously, what brought about the surge of winter clothing in our tropical country? A friend abroad who works in retail said, they have to.
Ok, so the big red signs are there. Perfect for us post winter shoppers. Really. That P1,400 hat? It's now down 70%. So I bought. I need to go back for that beret. HAHAHAHA
Oh, on second thought, I believe this is the best time to shop on ebay! Yeah!!!
But honestly, I want that muffler of a scarf on that mannequin. I would look good on that big cape sweater! HAHAHAHA but with its P5000 price tag, forget it.
I look around and find racks and racks of fluffy thick coats and sweater now on sale. No takers. No takers then, I dont think there will be some now either. I mean, new styles will be out next winter right? So there's a freaky cold front in our country right now, but does that really warrant us to buy those overpriced winter cover ups?
Where do they all go now?
Just wondering...
