When Online Shopping Confuses Me

I love shopping online because it saves me the hassle of going to malls wherein I have to dress up and queue in order for my purchases to get paid. Yeah you get the message, I am lazy. Online shopping is very convenient especially for moms like me who wants to have the weekend to myself (though sometimes I go to work for overtime) so I can lounge or read books that I like.

Another good thing about online shopping is that the clothes I buy for my kids are not common because most of what I prefer to buy are those with unique or funky designs that I think will make my kids stand out in a crowd. KSP much? Haha! Also, I get to have great deals in online shopping. Before I buy something at the mall, I check first online about the item and compare prices from other online shops for the best bargain that I can get. We all have to be wise you know.

I also prefer shops that accept Paypal as a mode of payment because it's convenient for me. I don't buy to shops the prefer bank deposits because my main purpose in shopping online is to elude myself from lining up to the cashier to pay. I prefer either Paypal or Globe Gcash, I think these two are the most convenient modes of paying for online purchases.

However, as I was doing my "rounds" today, a cutesy girl's dress caught my eye. Here are the photos.

I bought the Cranberry dress on the right a few months ago for my daughter and the Laura Ashley dress on the left made me confused. Even though there is a slight difference in the detail at the hem of the Laura Ashley dress, I am pretty sure that both came from the same seamstress. They both look great, I have to say, but can anyone tell me which is which? Did I pay for a re-tagged dress or is it the Laura Ashley which was re-tagged? I paid a much cheaper amount for the Cranberry dress so I have made a good deal.

Well, that's just my concern for now. Lemme raid the shops once again. :)

Say, Prom Night?

Boy I was right yesterday when I said that my energy will be drained by noon. The kids had their waltz practice on stage and it was quite lousy which almost made me pop an artery. Aside from the fact that they still haven’t mastered the dance steps, three boys were also absent this morning – and their dance will be tomorrow afternoon! We have a lot of cramming to do and I think that I will lose my voice at the end of the day with all the shouting I did this morning and will be doing this afternoon.

Yesterday, my niece asked me to do her make up for their JS Prom this Saturday night and being the doting aunt that I am, I felt honored to be chosen to make her pretty that day. I did not realize that it's the JS Prom month already probably because I am teaching in the elementary level so this prom thing is not one of my concerns. Well anyway, I asked her what color is her prom dress so that I could coordinate it with her makeup. I also gave her some motherly prom advice although her escort is not her suitor or a boyfriend because she simply doesn’t have one! So here I am in a nostalgia mood and reminiscing my own prom night. During my time, we had a peculiar prom because it was a themed celebration. When I was in junior high, the theme was Fantasy and Mystery and during my senior year, the theme was United Nations. Needless to say, I did not enjoy both my proms because it felt awkward dancing and having fun while wearing princess costumes and the national dresses of Poland and other countries as our prom dresses!

If only we had a chance to wear regular prom dresses as what the girls from the other schools wore, I would definitely pick a dress like this.


I like this dress in particular because I am a shortie so I could not wear a long gown. And even if I love to see women wearing tubes, my body frame is not fit for those types of dresses. And of course, I would still wear the same color of prom shoes to match the vamp outfit. I think I’d look great in this but isn’t it nine years too late? Hahaha!

And so there goes my prom night frustration. How about you? How's your prom?
