It has been last year’s fad but I bet it will still be a hit this summer so I want to have at least one maxi dress. Come May, when the weather is a bit warm, I will start looking for summer dresses.

These are photos I got from the web and I would like to have a maxi dress which is similar to any of these. I don’t know if I can find something like this in China. You see, I don’t know if China is just late when it comes to fashion or if maxi dress fad is not a hit in Asia because long dresses don’t really look good on small framed and short women (like most Asians). We’ll see… if maxi dresses are not available in the shopping centres here, there is always the dressmaker who made my wedding dress. I am sure a maxi dress will not cost a lot if I ask her to do it.

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.
