faux pas

i popped into a shop this afternoon after dropping by the PO because an eyelet dress in the window caught my eye.

when i finally found the dress, i was really disappointed. it was $99, was of really poor quality as in it was obviously fraying (and that wasn't intentional) and made of some thin rough fabric that apparently, can be found on alot of the clothes here (this was from a local brand).

the thing about shopping in singapore is that you pay alot for crap quality. i guess it's the same case with alot of other places but it seems rather prevalent here. i mean, the clothes aren't even reasonably priced! which pretty much explains why i don't really shop alot in singapore, or rather, find myself buying stuff from a select number of shops. i am usually willing to fork out more money if something is of good quality and would be long-lasting without colors fading or threads coming loose. not if it looks good from afar but up close, is poorly made.

and it sucks that we don't have a return policy here.
