I remember going shopping with my sister when I first joined the work. Every time you pass Isetan Department Store on Huaihai Road, you can only go in and have a look. The clothes inside are all big brands, glamorous, but too expensive. We both vowed that we would come to Isetan to buy clothes when we got rich, but when we got rich, I didn't go to Isetan to buy clothes.
I am a person who loves to dress up, and I belong to the forefront of fashion both in college and in the company. ?
I remember that when I was in college in the late 1980s, I worked as a tutor in addition to the pocket money given by my parents. With some money, I began to subscribe to Shanghai fashion magazines that were popular at that time. When I see beautiful clothes styles, I will take them to the tailor's shop and ask the tailor if they can make them and what fabrics to buy. Then I will buy them and ask the master to make them for me. This is much cheaper than buying ready-made clothes, and it is not heavy.
After graduation, my third job is in the center of Shanghai, Nanjing West Road, which belongs to the center of Shanghai. Riding a bike to work every day, passing by Shaanxi South Road. There are many small shops selling clothes, shoes and hats on this road, all of which were exported to the domestic market at that time. It was also a place that petty bourgeoisie youth especially liked to go. They can bargain, which is much cheaper than selling brand-name clothes in big shopping malls. In fact, up to now, these personalized shops are still preserved in the center of Shanghai, which are distributed in Shaanxi South Road, Julu Road, Changle Road and Ruijin Second Road. Now they are called Chaodian.
The clothes sold in these shops are often very design-oriented, especially fashionable and unique. The style you see in this store is not available in other stores, so it will be different to wear. Many Shanghai locals don't go to big shopping malls to buy clothes. Walking into the big shopping mall is very noisy and dazzling, but I don't know which to buy after shopping for a long time. In Shanghai, the real shopping is going to this kind of small shop to look for clothes from door to door, and it's love at first sight.
These roads crisscross Huangpu District, Jing 'an District and former French Concession in Shanghai. On both sides of the road are dense French buttonwood trees, and you can see the little red house behind you. Shopping here with girlfriends or lovers is a very pleasant thing. Nowadays, there are many cafes, bars and western restaurants in these places, which have become a network celebrity street that many foreigners and young people are eager for.
As we all know, a woman always lacks a dress in her wardrobe. In fact, it is said that women like to pursue fashion, but fashion is constantly updated. I like clothes when I buy them, but they may be out of date after wearing them for a year or two, and then I have to buy new ones. Women just like to change clothes and try to keep them fresh. No matter how expensive clothes you wear for a while, you may not want to wear them again.
That's why I don't want to spend a lot of money on designer clothes. What a waste. I can buy four or five pieces in a personalized store for the same money. I bought some expensive clothes before, but now I can only put them on the shelf of the wardrobe, and I can't bear to throw them away, taking up space.
Later, Taobao became popular, and it was found that those small shops also began to have Taobao shops. Taobao's search bar has a photo function. After learning to take pictures of clothes bought from physical stores, I found that the same clothes can be bought online, and they are much cheaper. In addition, there was a problem of lumbar disc herniation at that time. Going out shopping for a long time can lead to backache, so I have been buying clothes on Taobao for a long time.
A friend laughed at me and said that you still buy clothes on Taobao after making so much money. No wonder those physical stores have no business. I say this is to keep pace with the times. However, it is still necessary to divide the types of clothes. For example, you buy T-shirts, shirts, sweaters, sweaters and so on. You can buy it on Taobao, or you can shop while lying down. There are many choices, but you need to pay attention to its material and evaluation. If you buy coats, purses, suits and down jackets, you'd better go to a physical store. These will last longer, you need to buy better quality ones. If you don't pay much attention to quality and just want to buy something with high cost performance, you can sell it one year later and buy it on Taobao.
My foot size is so small that ordinary physical stores can't buy my size at all. I have to go to the special extra-large and extra-large shoe stores on Huaihai Road, but there are few choices. Now you can find many shops selling small shoes on Taobao.
In fact, the most important thing to wear clothes is to know how to match them. You need to have a good aesthetic vision. You need to know your own dressing style and choose clothes that suit you.
To cultivate aesthetic vision, you can look at popular fashion clothes more. I used to read fashion magazines, but now I can read little red books. There are too many fashionistas sharing their dressing experience, and I will collect what suits me. When I see a new fashion style, I don't know if it suits me. I will try it in a physical store, see if it is suitable on the spot, and then decide whether to buy it.
Personally, I prefer the dressing styles of fashion blogger Miki and her mother. Many of her clothes styles can be bought in Uniqlo or Zara, and they pay great attention to color matching, which is simple, fashionable, intellectual and feminine. After seeing her clothes, sometimes I don't have to buy new clothes. I can take ready-made clothes out of the closet and wear them again, so I can wear a brand-new feeling. She also pays attention to details, such as the collocation of belt and straw hat. I can buy the same belt on Taobao.
So you can make yourself outstanding without wearing a famous brand. Every time I have dinner with my classmates and friends, they will praise me for my beautiful clothes and earrings and ask me where I bought them. When I tell them that they bought it on Taobao, they are often surprised and immediately ask me for a link.
I have worked in my last company for more than ten years, and I can't repeat my dress for the company's annual meeting every year. There are not many opportunities to wear it at a time, so I buy it on Taobao, which is amazing every time. Of course, a good figure and temperament will make you look good in everything.
