Not afraid to go cheap

There are those who would never let themselves be caught wearing something "cheap."

I'm not one of those people. Bargains can be tres chic, especially if you end up looking like a million bucks compared to someone who did spend a million bucks but ends up looking like the next door floozy out to catch her nightly john.

I consider it an art. And I'm an instant fan of anybody who could pull off bargain bin, no-name pieces.

With that said, I don't condone wearing cheap imitations. I hate seeing clothes, shoes and bags with logos screaming Chanel, D&G, YSL, etcetera. I once saw this super cute top with all the graphic art and vivid colors. The quality was nice too. Unfortunately, it had a patch of LV on it. Totally ruined my day, I swear.

Ugh.

Yeah, I get those people who hate cheap stuff. Most of the time, you get what you pay for. Which is... peanuts. It'd be best to save for the more expensive one than wasting money (even if it's just a small amount) on poor quality items that would just cause stress.

 But I can't help getting irked with people who raise eyebrows at something reeeeally nice (even they would admit that the piece is indeed awesome) just because it's priced cheaply.

Anyways, that was a pretty long rant.

I just want to post my find for the day.


I used a colorful banig bag as a background. lol. 

Super duper comfy flats for only Php 399. Yep. that's the price for two. So that's Php 200 each. 

I love the color. Super soft. Doesn't chafe the back of my ankle. Awesome colors! And no weird bows or some unnecessary design. Just plain, awesomely colored flats that would be perfect when your feet are tired, or when you're gonna drive.

The minimum price for flats that I'd like to have? About 800 pesos, and I'm already super lucky if I find a pair priced like that. And those could still hurt my little footsies. I'm very particular with comfort. That's why it's super rare for me to get no name, cheap brands for shoes. Cheap ones tend to hurt me, and I ain't buying that even if it's cheap and super unique and pretty.

Speaking of awesomely comfy shoes, I'm on the lookout for the comfiest high heels.
I'm currently sticking to Rockport but the designs are so limited! Ugh.
