Posted on: Buying on Taobao

There is some risk involved in buying things online. No doubt. That said, life is also a risk. Taking some risk in life makes our lives more colourful....don't you think? 

My gf was pondering over a dress on taobao for ages. She would go on and on about it but still not carry out the purchase. I would be asked countless times to check out the dress to the point of annoyance. The dress was gorgeous, classy and chic. The way I like my woman to dress. I gave her my "risk makes our lives more colourful" bit and she relented. Bought the dress,absolutely loved it and now she is a loyal customer of that taobao shop. http://roeyshouse.mall.taobao.com/ 

She's now an expert on taobao. She knows how to watch out for fake pictures. The korean style pics are often fakes. Their dresses sell for RMB20-50. You are likely to get crap eventhough the pictures are absolutely gorgeous. By the way, this was the dress that she bought. http://item.taobao.com/auction/item_detail-0db1-571e4c9e683cda69baa17d867b119efc.htm

My point..... sometimes in our lives, we forget the excitement of putting ourselves out on a limb. Pity cos that's when we really experience this beautiful world.
