Value for Money


Battle of Prices


In my youthful days when I was slim and small , I had never seen so many choices in my life ! But stranger still , the prices of products then seemed to be more expensive as compared to what I see these days ! How is that possible ?




All at RM 25.oo? If I were to send to the tailor, the workmanship may be 3 fold...




Some retailers go below RM25.00...





All at RM15.00?... there must be a catch somewhere !





But the mannequins tell me they are real !





What's the catch ?




You must be small and petite?




Tall and lanky ?




Or is the material of doubt?




But yet it's unbelievable ; they really do look right and it's value for money !





Look isn't this sensible? RM25.00?





Grace got the cardigan and is very pleased with herself...




This top is really worth the look and the buy...






The prices reminded me of Wupenfu of Taipei !





Yes, they must have been outsourced from China ! ! ! ... good guess ?


The next question : will they last? But who cares if they last these days? I seem to observe that shoppers don't look for long, lasting products ; only trendy ones. Better still if they are cheap and trendy.

So unlike those days when consumers look for quality and longlasting features. Today if you were to get an item that is too longlasting... you may just run out of fashion.

However ; I still feel the choice still lies in the beholder as one may never compromise on quality and label ...





Just like this bracelet. Would you pay RM19.90 or RM 400.00 for it? It's either a genuine or an imitation product. What do you think...is the product a genuine one? You can't tell. It probably depends on who wears it. So start by being tasteful ; you will be remembered for it and no one will think you have a compromised product.


Wear them right !

the catch is, as you said-- you need to be small and petite!

i can't fit into ANY of the dresses there. either too tight, or too short, or too sheer.

sigh. sara is lucky. hehe
