September 7, 2017 Thursday
My daughter is only staying for a week, technically just to attend in her cousin’s wedding. With limited time, of course shopping at the premium outlet is first on the list.
Daughter has been to this shopping area several times in the past. She has a shopping companion. She’s an adult and can shop for herself. And most important thing, she has her own credit cards. She doesn’t need her mother.
I am free to roam around by myself and here I go:
I didn’t look at any of the dresses. I am so very fat. No dress would fit me. I will not look good on any dress.
There were a couple of stores that have closed down. Sad. This Z Gallerie spot used to be clothes warehouse.
Max Mara used to be my favorite brand for business suits. That was 20 years ago when there was no global warming yet.
Kaya daw malakas ang benta ng mga handbags kasi bags are not size sensitive. Hindi na kailangan na mag-diet. Even with a 37 waistline, any bag would still look good on any girl kahit XXL pa body nya. (good alibi).
I haven’t entered the Furla boutique even once.
I bought my turtle passport holder from Kate Spade at the Las Vegas Premium Outlet last June. They now have swans on their leather goods. I hope they’ll have chickens in their next collection. Bibili ako ng bag na may manok pag meron na sila. Krooook krooook.
I didn’t like any of the bags on display. I walked to the footwear section.
$145 + 9.25 % tax = $158.41 x 51.40 = P8,142.40 Prada slippers
No attraction this time, I looked at the dresses.
$2,410 + 9.25% tax = $2,632.93 x 51.40 = P 135,332.35
Business wear
I’ve seen this Ferragamo sandals before.
I failed to notice the 60% sticker, bale ano na lang pala $507 – 60% off = $202.80 + 9.25% = $221.56 x 51.40 = P 11,388.13. Pwede na. Matagal na kasi ito dito, tila last year ko pa ito nakita. Kaya siguro 60% off na.
Hitsura pa lang, mukhang masakit na sa paa.
$975 less discount = $750
Cute ito, green and pink
I like this light blue color better than the green and pink.
oh this is nice.
I tried it on. Cute parang pang-high school student. This pair is a 6.5 medyo masikip. I asked for a size 7 or 7.5 but they only have a 6.5 and next would be 8.5. The store clerk said this would still expand. Naku, I have a lot of shoes already “waiting to expand”. Masakit pa rin. Meron yung isa I brought to the shoe repair shop and for $25 three days overnight stay, the shoes didn’t expand. Masakit pa rin.
Ano kaya? Baka nga mag-expand? Hmmmm…. I will only get to wear this for a maximum of 3 times, sure ako dyan. Wag na lang. Pass.
I need a new pair of sunglasses.
I spotted their shelves for scarves and shawls.
Nahihilig ako sa shawl
It’s hard to choose which color. If I have a lot of money I will buy a dozen in different colors. But since cash is not bottomless, I have to choose only one, or two.
This one na lang, easy to match with most of my clothes.
I got tired walking. I am no longer a marathoner when it comes to shopping. Wala nalalaos na, tumatanda na talaga.
I don’t go to all the stores. I only visit a few suki.
Yen and Derrick were not yet done shopping. I found a bench to sit on near the stall selling souvenir items. They even have a Pokemon stuff toy. Miss ko anak ko tuloy. Pokemon was his most favorite character. He would not sleep without cuddling his tiny Pokemon pillow.
I saw on one of the benches pero naduduling ako sa antok. I still have jet lag plus the Bonamine tablet made me real sleepy.
I just sat there observing people passing by. The shoppers here are mostly Asians.
I am too sleepy but too afraid to close my eyes. Baka pagmulat ko wala na ang bag ko.
Finally they were done. Marami daw mga pabili.
We ate first at the fast food before leaving.
We were already in the car when I mentioned to Oyen that I was able to buy shawls. She said she also needed a shawl to use at the wedding kasi her gown is off shoulder. We moved our car closer to the Gucci boutique.
She found a beige one that can match any dress. While she was paying at the cashier, I spotted a pinkish red shawl, grabbed it and gave it to my daughter for her to pay, on my behalf!!! Kapal ko. Eto, instead of paying for one shawl, it became a “buy one and get one more for your mother”. Thanks anak.
