You have the right stuff to start modeling for sure.  Your choice for clothes reflects an impecable taste.  Thanks for sharing

PS- if I were a more petty person I would be jealous of you

PPS- I am a little

Thanks for comment, stephaniec and Briah.

Those clothes are very cheap as they are available at AliExpress.com. A few men commented that those shoulderless tops look cheapy, but most women said they look sexy.

Seriously Barbie I think you've got the right strategy - I think its much better to buy cheaper clothes and really figure out what works, what doesn't, and of course what stuff you really like etc. Then later on if you really want to, you could buy a more expensive version of that garment. I like seeing the colour combinations you put together too -  like the black and white number in your latest post. Also I've noticed how different clothes and colours give off a different vibe, like some are youthful, some are more mature looking - its helpful to really work out all these choices!

Keep going!

Yes. Exactly. I do have a few expensive fashion items. But nowadays some cheap ones are also fashionable and durable. I ordered a pair of high heel sandals again from AliExpress.com, as the previous one was cheap (ca. US$ 20), but it was really comfy to walk on.

And, hats are also popular in summer, but strangely my male friends say my blue hat looks like thirty cents. Women tend to comment the blue hat looks nice. Indeed, it is a chaper one (ca. US$ 7).



I am thinking searching and purchasing another one.

Well, I think you look great in the hat, the strapless tops and everything else. The fashion industry is so competitive that I rarely find the need to buy pricier clothes.

A few months ago I purchased a pair of almost identical walking shoes-- one pair from Zappo's for sixty-something dollars and one from Wal-Mart for $10. The quality of the uppers is almost identical. The pricier shoes needed breaking in while the Wal-Mart shoes fit perfectly from the start. The soles wear out more quickly, but at that price it's no bother to replace them every few months.

Lovely wardrobe Barbie! I too am waiting for a few tops to arrive. I have more skirts and dresses than tops. Now days, as I have gottin up there in age, I have to dress more conservatively. More like Grandma dresses  . Cute sweaters, cardigans, button down blouses, T-shirts and I still pull off a nice tank top or two from time to time. That reminds me, I need to order more shorts lol.

I want to start crossdressing this summer! I think i'll try to get a yellow floral dress!

Thanks for comments, Lyric and Donica,

It has been rainy and humid, and I found that semi-transparent knit tops ('see-through') are ideal to wear in rainy days: not watery, little smell. .

No rain any more for the coming one month. It became humid and hot.

I have a very soft spot for the long dress or skirt.

Barbie, you look fabulous regardless of what you are wearing.

Two days ago, this summer peaked, and the temperature started to decrease. Yes. It was the record-high temperature over the past 100 years.

While in Seoul last week.

 

And today at my home town.

 

My friends praised the blue dress.

I'll praise it, too. You look truly fabulous in it. I could never trust my tucking with a skirt that short, though.
