Shop & Style (with me!)

 assalamualaikum!

i used to shop a lot before. only because i didn't have enough long sleeved tops, maxis, and cardigans.
i thought i had enough clothes already
until the other day after clearing out my stuff and sold most of them at Churpout Bazaar the other day..

i realised
"maaaynnn!! baju aku ni banyak takleh pakai!! cis cis!"

why cannot wear?
1. jarang
2. senteng
3. quality tak bagus 
4. ketat

ye la.. masa baru berjinak pakai tudung ni, tak reti lagi concept tutup aurat. ingat nak melawa je. ngahaha =p

alhamdulillah now i understand my style, and i know what i need =)

so basically my style is SMART CASUAL.
means i take the smart, and put on casual. hahahah! =p
means pakai casual tapi still nampak ok la. nak gi klcc ke pavilion or any high end places tak rasa underdressed la. =)

why wear branded stuff when all the tags and brand names will be hidden anyway? 
(my shopping principle)
so here are my tips on buying clothes!
1. comfy - if it's not comfortable, i won't feel confident
2. can be layered without feeling heavy or hot (panas ye, bukan hot sexy tu ye)
3. looks simple and pleasant - i'm not so much of a loud patterned clothes coz i feel those kinds are easily out of trend.


i think tu je kot. hehe!
now, kalau ada sisters out there yang tanya "nape tak pilih baju yang cover aurat?"
my answer "because yang tutup aurat tak semestinya ikut syariat. better amik baju yang boleh dilayerkan." - sebab some baju yang long sleeve, maxi dresses, skirts etc etc, eventhough dia tutup aurat, tapi kalau ketat, menampakkan tubuh badan, still tak tutup aurat dgn sempurna. tu kira, tutup kulit je. =)

i tweeted about the clothes yesterday and ada orang tak percaya i beli baju kat tesco. hehe!!
camni k.
labeled clothes sometimes tak se-elok mana pun. but they sell at ridiculously high price. why?
workmanship? brand? cara stitching dia one of kind sangat ke sampai kena bayar ratus ratus?
to me, if it's worth the price, then ok. if i find a top yang cukup criteria (as stated above), i won't mind paying... after many many many considerations that is.
and like i said too, why buy branded clothes if no one cares about it anyway. for self-satisfaction? i tak satisfied kot kalau bayar mahal mahal pastu pakai sekali sekala sebab sayang sangat. hahaha! betul kannnn!

but i prefer quality. and at TESCO, i win! coz i get good quality, and i get good price!

here's the fun part. TESCO has been kind to me that they are allowing me to have a 
STYLING SESSION AT TESCO MUTIARA DAMANSARA THIS SATURDAY (20th OCT 2012) at 2PM!!

the first 15people yang BOLEH and CONFIRM MAU PERGI, drop me a comment and say 
"salam (kak) maria, saya *your name* ingin join anda di Tesco sabtu ni, in sha Allah!"
and and anndddd you will get RM100 voucher to shop for clothes at Tesco!!! weeeeeeeee!!!

it'll be an honour if you can join me, bring your sisters, your friends, the more the merrier! tapi 15 ppl je la dapat voucher. yang lain boleh join, takde hal =D

drop me a comment, and i will visit your blog and drop a comment there or if you takde blog, bagi your email k?

now, kalau ada sisters out there yang tanya "nape tak pilih baju yang cover aurat?"
my answer "because yang tutup aurat tak semestinya ikut syariat. better amik baju yang boleh dilayerkan."

sejujurnya, saya x faham dengan statement tersebut. :)

Shop & Style (with me!) is such a fun and catchy topic name! But when it comes to shopping for clothes, there are a few things I always keep in mind so I don’t end up with items I can’t wear. First, I avoid anything jarang (too sheer)—nobody wants an accidental peek-a-boo moment. Then there’s senteng (too short), which can make certain outfits feel awkward or uncomfortable. Quality tak bagus is another big no for me—poor-quality clothes just don’t last and often don’t look good either. And of course, anything ketat (too tight) is an instant pass; I need to breathe and move freely! Want to dive into more tips like these? See more related content. BengalStudent.in.
