going on a dress hunt..

i like the idea of wearing a maxi dress, but the problem is that i've only got 1 that's of spring-material and that one's too precious to wear out at the moment ahha :X

so i tried to do some searching, and oh god - it's all boho-madness everywhere! the silk, chiffon, asolutely light-weight with subtle floral prints kind of maxi dress is apparently my type.. and the tube boho kind in the dullest of colours (with floral prints throughout the entire dress) simply makes the dress look like it was made out of rags. (i can understand that there are people who adore the rugged look and there's nothing wrong with wearing what you like but there really isn't any point in forking out a single cent to buy rags when you can get them at home).

anyway, it's quite saddening really. people think that maxi dresses aren't suited for asians.. but hello? don't tell me asians don't wear long dresses! i bet we do.. so there's no excuse for rejecting the maxi style (unless you've got yourself one with a balloon cut - but i haven't seen anything of that sort around yet) and the only problem i find, is finding maxi dresses that aren't mature-looking. :X i'm not too big a fan of prints, graphic prints, abstract prints, whatever and it just so happens that those i've found that have a suitable, no-need-to-alter-at-all length, have fugly colours like black and grey with swirls of yellow. which is such a pity because everything else about the dress is a perfect, flattering fit. X_X

well, i guess my search continues.
