Shopping Here

The last time we went to Beijing, I found this pair of nice black skinny jeans which I think is perfect to pair up with some blouses I already own. I bought it but not without haggling first. Salespersons in Beijing’s famous silk market can be crazy sometimes. Imagine, the initial price given to for the jeans was 1000RMB (100EU). The pair of jeans is nice alright but that’s a crazy price! Living in this country for two years and a half taught me about the real prices of things here and for sure that this particular pair of jeans will not cost more than a hundred RMB (10EU). The salesperson and I was haggling hard but I pretended to leave so she agreed to my price. I got the jeans for 80RMB.

Now, for my skinny jeans I want to have shoes that are similar to these.

The black pair will be fit to anything but the turquoise will specially go along with similarly colored blouses and scarfs I own.
