I don't think any young Malaysian lady would be caught dead in this dress below . These types of shift dresses with see through lace is favoured by the Malaysian Chinese aunty type , which is obviously the direction in which I am headed currently .
In fact , if a " young " looking lady does end up wearing something similar to this , it shows you just how old she is actually , or how much help she's had from surgeons ( look at the lines on her hands , those never lie ) or not ! Chances are , she's probably in her late 30s to 40s by the time she decides to walk outdoors sheathed in a laser cut example .
On the other hand ,while my Cotton On pieces are magnets that get me wolf whistled at , I feel the need to escape from that and take a break from younger fashion , well , sometimes , not always you know .
Aunty fashion to me , is a lot of fun actually . I'm mystified at how it manages to embolden young lone Middle Eastern men into approaching me especially when I am dressed in tiger or cheetah animal prints paired with my denim shorts like what happened today . The guy was quite blatantly insistent in engaging me , despite me pointing out my 2 male escorts to let him know that I was not alone , yet , he still gazed at my face like he was about to graze on sweet grass gosh....I've never felt so flattered lol .

Anyway , this aunty fashion phase seems to be a natural progression , as if we are wired to appreciate such pieces of clothing once we attain a certain age . Those patterns seem to trigger an emotion locked away for a good part of our youth , and that's why most times , you'll see it on a shapeless ah sum on a dinner date with her gang. Or......that sexy voluptously hot 42 year old ah sum whom people think is 25 !
Come to think of it , I actually had a pretty bright Barney coloured purple lace number from Metrojaya , when I just turned 20 , but no , it wasn't see through , nor did it tease with skin coloured lining beneath the holes.
At that time , my choice of clothing left my lady boss wondering how come I was so into retro vogue from my shoes down to my bag . I never had an answer to that query . Neither can I tell you exactly why I am so into these aunty lace apparels now .
Anyway , I finally settled on this piece from you'll never guess where .....Aeon under the label Scarlet . Although I was considering a white number from Dressing Paula ( below MYR 80 ) and fiery red version over at Debenham's ( below MYR 200 which in all honesty , looked as bad as the MYR 80 piece despite the original price tag being a hefty MYR 395 ) , I took this in the end because the salesperson told me that it was the absolute last piece and I could have it for MYR 29 .
" SAY WHAT ? TWENTY NINE ? " yes , I got a shock of my life . So cheap ? Wow ! The ridiculously low and unbelievable price was too much for me to handle !
" Sooooooo , how much was it before the mark down "
She told me that even though it was priced between MYR 100 to MYR 80 when it first arrived ( she couldn't recall exactly ) it sold like hotcakes before Chinese New Year .
Anyway , there's another see through crochet lace dress I am considering ( blast from the 60's and 70's ) , in a fluorescent red / orange shade .
Will post it up here when I eventually lay my hands on it .
Right , here it is ....the H&M x Coachella waaaaayy back from 2015 , somehow resurrected and now on our shores . No , I'm not complaining , especially when I found it tucked away , get this , not in H&M but in a hypermart ! And priced at MYR 29 at that too !
Of course , I wasn't expecting it to sport a H&M label , I sincerely thought that this was a mass production from a China clothes maker . Well , right and wrong . The label was snipped in half , leaving the word Coachella still visible , thus I made a search under " Coachella red crochet dress " and surprise ! surprise ! Really was not expecting this ! I mean , I'd seen one Coachella labelled in one of the H&M outlets before , but that had turned yellowish and icky , and looked as if someone had made a return and they decided to ship it elsewhere to see if any sucker would be desperate enough to buy it !

This crochet dress on the other hand , is still bright and in good condition .
The great thing about crochet dresses are .....they always make a comeback on the fashion wheel , and that's why I took it irregardless of the fact that it is 3 years late .

There'll be a spaghetti strapped dress under it .
