Going mature, going brown

Judging by the title, you can't really tell what I am about to write. Well, this might disappoint some of the readers as I am going to be talking about "BAGS"!!

I have lots of bags, not that I have a lot to switch using with. I just do not throw the old ones away. Therefore, I guess I have ... a lot? Hmm... as I took out a piece of paper and started counting, to my relief, I had about like 5 bags, (excluding one clutch) still tolerable I guess.

I have always loved Lollipops bag. It was first introduced to me by my ex-colleague, Fannie. We were very close back then as she was working the same shift as mine. We talked about shoes, bags, clothes and boys all the time. We brought magazines to the office to share opinion on clothing as well. Then one day, her cousin sister introduced her to Lollipops. As she saw the brand, she already knew I would love it.

The bags are mostly hand made and have limited quantity. It is not as common as Guess? bags in the society. The bags are all very cute! Therefore, I went to the only Lollipops outlet in Bangsar Village 2 back then to get my first Lollipops bag. The bag had a name, it was called Wonderland. The quality was not bad at all! The sewing of the thread were very refined. I loved it. One little problem was that the beads kept falling off my bag. Over all, it was fantastic! I had received so many compliments for the bag!

My Lollipops! The lollipop is not with the bag. I attached it for fun!

I thought I was not going to buy Lollipops again as the beads fell off. I was looking around for a new bag. Went to a lot of shops and look at a lot of bags. But I didn't like them. I still like the shape of the bags I was carrying. Then I stepped foot in the new outlet in Sunway Pyramid. I was holding the exactly same size bag. It was perfect, the length of the handle was just nice! And it felt right to carry it around. What's best about it was, it was brown! Just the colour I was looking for!


I was quite proud that I did not buy it on the spot. I walked out of the store and I evaluated whether I should buy it. After further considerations, I walked back in the shop again. The sales girl was happy to see me again. Just like the aunty I bought my Wonderland 2 years ago. The aunty was very nice. While I was not able to decide whether to buy such an expensive bag. She urged me to walk around first. "Don't make nasty decisions. Go have a walk and compare on the pricing first. If you like the bag, you will come back for it." She said.

I wonder that's a psychological thingy as she was trying to play hard to get. Hahah.. However, while I was doing sales, the most important thing was not to let your customer think too much. When one thinks too much, he will be unlikely to buy something. Furthermore, it is walking out the shop! The risk for not coming back to face her would be so much higher. Hmm.. I wonder why she does that?

I guess women need a few bags to switch around. Some went to the extreme where they played around the color of the bags with their outfit. In total, I guess working women need 3 bags and a dinner clutch at least. Women need one big bag for outing, one bag that can hold her shades, sun block, water bottle, tower, camera and etc. One middle size bag for normal outing like movies, hanging out with friends. The size of this bag is individual, some still prefer it big, some prefer it smaller. I personally like bowler bags!

For working women, they need a working bag of course! This bag should be of formal colors (eg. black, white or brown) to show professionalism. I don't have a working bag as I am not wearing very formal to work. But to show some maturity. I have forced myself to buy a brown bag!! Yeah!! Say hi to my new mark of maturity!

My new Lollipops (only without the lollipop)!

I guess it's not too bad huh?
