Since two months ago, I already beg one Mini Dress ( again) to my hubby, and due to that reason, we visited some of the Mall where I used to buy one.
The problem was not the Items but my body size ( Yes, I am an extra-S woman!). For the Asian Size, I will be fit on Small or Medium Size where for the American or European, I need no size than Extra Small!!
Fortunately, I heard that one of my favorite brand "Minimal" have opened their Boutique in Jakarta ( before, we had to go to Bandung to buy one dress from them) and lucky me, it was in "Citra Land" shopping center which was so near to my flat, so at the opening day, we went there
But I was not lucky as I thought before because their collections for now is available in a " big " size ( even tough I had already gotten the Extra Small One) due to the style or just say the " seasons" that they are having now. So I just said Bye bye to this collections this time, hope that I will find the suitable one ( for me ) next sessions!
Next, we went to my favorite shopping center when I stayed in Sudirman : Ambassador and Plaza Semanggi . Centro in Plaza Semanggi is one of my favorite Department Store but once again I wasn't lucky because their " trends" for now is the " Elegant" party dress where I just looked for a semi casual " Mini Dress".
Then we also went to Plaza Indonesia and Grand Indonesia but what we had was not so different from Centro. Ok, I do love chiffon with floral patterns on it, but please do not make me looked too old with that colors and cuts!
The next destination was Puri Indah Mall which is the nearest Mall from my house ( beside Mall Taman Palem where can't be labeled " Mall" ) there I found one black chiffon mini dress which I liked, but only available in size S/M ( means ; the size S is equal with size M) where it length couldn't be "compromise" with me
Depressed with the conditions, I decided to give up after this recent sessions end. Just hope that the next trends are suitable for me. My hubby tried to cheer me up by buying a short pants for me ( what a nice rewards! Hehe)
But Lucky me, when we went to Daan Mogot Mall ( also near my house) to get my watch fixed, I found a black mini dress at Matahari Department Store. The size was " M" but it was still suitable for me! what a nice surprise after a long and tiring hunting! Thanks God!

Gaun Oh Gaun

Ini gaun yang gw "temukan" secara ga sengaja waktu nungguin hubby di Matahari Citra Land senin kemarin.. pertama kali lihat langsung jatuh hati, warnanya soft banget, bahannya juga adem, modelnya kalem, simpel tapi maniss banget.. pokonya sukses buat gw langsung ngebolak tag harga dan langsung pengen nyoba. ok harganya masih reasonable, diskon pula,,hehe
Eh taunya si embak yang jaga lagi males kerja, masa waktu gw minta ukuran yang lebih keci, dia bilang gini " gini aja mba, bedanya palingan di pinggang ama panjang gaun, gimana kalo mba coba aja dulu yang ini, kalo cocok baru deh ambil yang kecilan" ( lah, gimana gw tau kalo bajunya cocok ama gw, wong ukuran yang dicoba aja gede!)
Tapi karna udah suka banget gw pun nurut aja kaya kebo dicolok idung (gw juga heran ko gw mau aja di gituin) jadi deh gw ngantri di kamar pasnya. Udah cape antri disalip pula 2 kali !! gemessss banget jaddinya.. belanja di Mall tapi kelakukan ko kaya orang uneducated yaaa!!..
Ok balik lagi ke gaunnya, setelah beberapa menit nahan kesel karna dua kali disalip, gw pun sukses nyobain tuh gaun yang emang pasti kegedean. Asli gw suka banget modelnya, simpel dan ga norak sama sekali.. pokonya keren lah buat dipake ke undangan..
Tapi, ada yang ngeganjal di hati.. bagian dadanya transparant banget boWW.. yang bikin lupa kali ya jahit puring atau penutup bagian dada yang terbuat dari borkat tembus pandang.. hmm otomatis dong ni gaun ga bakalan bisa gw pake.. padahal lagi diskon 20% tuh..lumayan kaan..
O ya abis nyobain gw masih beritikad baik ngembaliiin ni gaun.. eh taunya si SPG yang td males2 san ngacir ga tau kemana .. ya ampuuun tuh orang niat ga sih kerja, untung aja gw ga niat beli, kalo ada yang beli kan rugi tuh brand nya kehilangan 1 pelanggan karna SPG nya ngabur.. ck ck ck..
