Do You Really Need to Spend $$ for Being a Blogger? x Catseye London


Another look with Catseye London was finally shot! However, if you still remember the previous post featured this London based brand, this outfit's going to be totally different. 

I was wearing pink top with holographic skirt and Catseye London's pink bag, but this time I have chosen to be more street style. Frankly, I prefer to toy the products with wide variety looks so that they can be adapted to the reality. One bag doesn't mean one look, does it? I was going for sweet and girly style before and that's the reason why street style's my 2nd selection for this baby blue bag. 

Speaking of the fact that I got this crop top for $3 while I was randomly shopping in Bangkok, Thailand. I have never considered that being fashion blogger means only to use expensive products because the truth is those items will never boost up your look if they are not even matching with your style. Sometimes, I feel I shouldn't have spent the money on some products which were advertised on the media. Of course, they looked beautiful, however, I felt like wasting money when I came back home due to the fact that it didn't turn out perfectly like I had expected. So, do you really need to spend $$ for being a fashion blogger?

I always invest my money on brands only if the products are categorized as 'eyewear' It is very important to have the very high-quality for such goods because eyes can be very sensitive one. Therefore, one of my choices is 'Lespecs' eyewear. The price ranges of this French brand can be costly, but the quality deserves to get my money. 

Another question I often receive from people is 'where do you go shopping in Manchester?' To be honest, I don't have any specific places. I walk from shops to shops, and this habit is very time consuming because I am the picky one. Sometimes, I feel a bit moody when I walk back home with nothing lol Anyway, one of my favourite places is Primark. The products are really versatile which means you can go there and buy anything you want such as tops, jeans, gloves or whatsoever but my advice is you gotta pick the items carefully. Touch the fabric and see if it's worth to pay since people always come and go, so some products can be terribly displayed.

  2. Those pink and blue bags are super cute, Gail. I rarely spend a lot on fashion these days, unless it's something I've been lusting over. The hubby would then give it to me as a present:) Other than that, I think people can always be fashionable without spending a lot.

  3. One of things I love about Bangkok are the affordable prizes of street side items. I always loved shopping in the street markets and finding inexpensive one of a kind pieces. I agree with you also, we don't need to spend tons of cash on items just to look good.

  4. With fashion or makeup, I look for quality. If it works and is good ingredients, I'll pay - I like it to be long lasting and an enhancement to what I have, totally unique and not going to fall apart

  6. You look fab girl! I only splash out on products/clothes that I know I'll get the most out of. Like I don't understand people splurging so much on eyeshadows or nail varnishes. Branded clothes on the other hand I can understand, or branded watches :)

  7. Very cool look. I like the 90s grunge vibe. I guess people choose to spend their money in different ways. Some people prefer gourmet restaurants to a brand name sweater. :] // ▲ itsCarmen.com ▲

  12. Thanks so much for your comment bb! Investment pieces, cost per wear, reselling, recycling, and really honing in on what you truly feel yourself gravitating towards everyday. Yeah that's my sort of answer xx

  14. I think it really depends on what you want to have, cheap or quality of clothes, but re-styling is also never a bad idea ;) Love your look by the way! :)

  22. What a great street style look! You definitely can rock the street style look. I totally agree with you. Although I do invest my money more on certain items I love being frugal and it's always fun when I find things that are on sale! I recently bought these pants with slits for $6 at Nordstrom Rack yesterday and I can't wait to wear them!
