I love shopping for clothes online.
Recently I have gotten into Lazada
Philippines and have been getting my clothes from them. I am into fashion big time, I can’t bear to
be seen donned in the same outfit twice. That is a no-no for me and in itself a
fashion faux-pas. My current line of work in an advertising firm allows me to
enjoy my fashion proclivities on a regular basis given the fact that our office
does not impose a strictly corporate dress code. The theme in the office if I
am going to put it into words is “be yourself”.
I am not a fashion victim
either, I don’t buy clothes just because of trends. As much as possible, I would
like to stay away from that kind of fashion trap. My fashion mantra is comfort,
fit, form and function. The clothes that I am wearing should be comfortable and
should not get in the way of my work while at the same time being unique and
completely different from what everyone else is wearing. To look different and
unique, I usually try to mix and match stuff from my closet. During weekends,
my favorite pastime is digging through my closet to look for clothes that I
have not worn in a while and match them with my recent purchases. I would spend
hours and hours wearing them in-front of my mirror like a little fashion show.
Also, I keep tabs of combinations that I really love in a journal. I would draw
the clothes, shoes and accessories on my journal and put a date when I am going
to wear them just to make sure that I don’t wear the same set twice. It is a
tedious practice but I have gotten used to it and it is really not that tedious
for me anymore because I love what I am doing. For the past months, I have been
getting my fashion fix from Lazada because of its convenience. It’s so easy to
place an order plus the items arrive no later than five days. A couple of weeks
ago I ordered something modest looking to wear for our fun theme day. The theme
is business casual (so much for a fun theme day). I looked around Lazada Ph as
usual and went through all the women’s fashion pages. It took me several hours
to pick one up that will suit my fancy because of the vast array of great
choices.
After several self- deliberations and consultations with my
girlfriends, I decided to settle a green MALDITA dress which is as modest as I
want it to be without looking square. I paid for it using my credit card and
had it shipped out to my office address. It arrived after three business days
like it used to. It was quite a busy day at the office when it was delivered so
I simply accepted the package and signed the receipt. I didn’t have the
opportunity to check the box if it was the right color and size. When I got
home, I found out that they sent me an orange dress instead of the green one
that I picked out. I called customer service to complain and the guy told me
that I just need to fill out a return form and they will take care of it. True
enough the replacement dress arrived several days later from the time I
returned the item. They even reimbursed me for the shipping cost I incurred for
returning it through my credit card.
