多雲.微雨.14C
當然不是說東京女子在冬天都赤足在街上走動,不會冷死唄?
印象中(源自那個會看日本OL時裝雜誌的年代)日本女裝鞋是很不錯的,款式時髦但不會過於前衛,價錢相宜,於是打算這次去買鞋子.
對,我只是想買幾雙穿起來舒服好看又不會overpriced的上班鞋而已.日本的可愛小物太多,買也買不完,而且家裏也沒地方放;潮流服飾又不屬於我的風格(我是村姑),不看也沒關係.大夥至愛的妝物於我更是無用.至於電子商品,今年收到的生日禮物還被安放於一旁(因為還沒有時間玩!),更可以不用看了.於是當大家說去日本(或許應該縮小至東京)血拼血拼血拼之際,我好像只能很反高潮地給一個興趣缺缺的反應.
可是呢,當我一踏進東京,就覺得不對勁了.幾乎所有我見到的女生都是穿靴子的(機會率可能是50:1,而且剛好是個歐巴桑穿着和服所以穿不了靴)!不同顏色、不同款式、不同材料.You name it, you'll see it.(看到太多人穿Ugg boots (or wannabes).所以到最後已經麻木到變成會覺得,嗯,其實Ugg boots也蠻可愛的喔![撞牆~撞牆~])
即使看到的那些鞋子也很讓人懷疑它們怎麼會出現在這個時裝之都.不只是在街上看到的,在店裏的那些也是很不堪入目,彷彿回到了八十年代的友誼商店.(真的很抱歉得用上這種比喻.)當然,我覺得是因為我在百貨(!)賣鞋專櫃看到才會得到這個結論.只是,奇怪的是,即使是同一個牌子靴子就明顯的時尚許多,也跟路上所看到的款式相若.或許是因為在賣的鞋子太醜了,所以東京的女子只好轉投靴子的懷抱吧?
雖然買不到鞋子是有點失望,但還是很慶幸我不是生活在這個買不到冬天鞋子的城市裏.
Haha, love your description: "所以到最後已經麻木到變成會覺得,嗯,其實Ugg boots也蠻可愛的喔![撞牆~撞牆~])" That's what happened to me, too! Lots of girls wear Ugg boots over here also and I think my attitude towards them has started to mellow also this couple of years.
ReplyDeleteJust a little question, what was 八十年代的友誼商店? I was an 80's kid in HK but I don't remember this department store (I remember 大大 though, including the madness during its closing-down sale).
Perhaps it's just as well that you didn't get to 血拼血拼血拼 (love this phrase!) in Tokyo, I actually rather admire you ability to restrain yourself from buying things that are clearly of no use / aesthetic value to you. For the sake of the planet, I'm learning to reduce my consumption also in the new year.
actually it makes sense for girls in japan to wear ugg boots. it's really cold there. but in hk... erm.. ok, maybe you'll wear them for 2 days... and then? i've actually seen ppl wearing them in Nov when it was 20+ C. no idea how they bore the heat.
ReplyDelete友誼商店is the state-owned department stores in mainland China. and it's already considered high class back then. go figure ;)
thank you :) the thing with shopping is that, as soon as too many options are placed in front of me, i'll get frustrated and give up. i mean in takayama, only a couple of shops were open at night for the special event, so i took a whole half hour to go through every item (and bought some stuff... really couldn't buy too much though.) i had my moments of irrational shopping, too, but then if things get complicated (discounts/sales/bargains, etc.), shops getting too crowded, i'm usually the first to leave the scene. i'm not a very "smart" shopper in the pro's eyes, to be honest. haha...
又的確, 無次去日本會買到鞋, 去歐洲/美加都會買. 上次見日本有靚鞋, 都係歐洲品牌加日本cross-over, 不過睇唔啱.
ReplyDelete但我明明看雜誌有看到是日本牌的鞋子的!而且是個款也不錯的呢.好奇怪呀!!!
