Chapter 122 Winter Clothes - Back to 18, I became rich by spending money
When Wen Yan got up the next day, Dong Yuan and Anyang were already up.
"You two are here so early?" Wen Yan looked at his phone. 7:30?
The two were putting on makeup. Dong Yuan carefully applied eyeliner while replying to her, "We both slept a little too much yesterday. I'm not very good at putting on makeup right now, so I got up early and took my time."
"I'm calling Yuyan. You should get ready quickly. That girl will take a long time to dress up. I'm going to put on some light makeup and go out." Anyang was applying a facial mask and stood up to call Chen Yuyan.
Wen Yan got up and washed up. When she came out of the bathroom, Chen Yuyan was still lying in bed with her quilt in her arms. "My quilt is so warm. I don't want to leave it. I'll lie down for another 5 minutes."
"You just said five minutes. Get up quickly. We'll go have breakfast later. You still have to put on makeup and curl your hair. Hurry up." Anyang was not affected by her at all and pulled her quilt coldly and ruthlessly.
Chen Yuyan was tortured to death, and her sleepiness was gone. Although the dormitory was warm, it was not as warm as the quilt. "Wake up, hurry up, it's time for your face mask."
Wen Yan put on a gentle and light nude makeup and a bean paste-colored lipstick, which made her look very gentle. When choosing clothes, she also chose a loose and comfortable beige sweater and a beret on her head.
Her current clothes look very low-key overall. You can't tell the brand unless you look closely. Others will only think that the clothes are made of good material. The only most eye-catching thing about her is that she carries a milkshake white Hermès bag.
"I'm quick. After the curling iron is used, I'll just perm your hair." Seeing that the three of them were ready, Chen Yuyan quickly sped up.
Anyang looked at Wen Yan's outfit and went over to hug her. "It's so soft! Your sweater looks so comfortable and feels so soft. I also want to buy a loose sweater. It's perfect for winter."
"Let's see if there's any when we go shopping later. By the way, where are we going later?" Wen Yan asked. If she were going with her roommate, they definitely couldn't go to the shopping malls she often went to.
"Let's go to the Wuyue Shopping Mall. I'll give you the location later. The clothes in some stores in that mall are very nice and not very expensive. There are also many foods in the mall, including various snacks and cakes. When you are tired of shopping, we can go for a hot pot. Hot pot is the best time to eat in the winter." Chen Yuyan said while holding her hair.
Dong Yuan was watching from the side. She had straight hair and had never done anything like this before, so she wasn't sure if curly hair would suit her. "Why don't you just get a perm? You wouldn't have to go through all this trouble of curling your hair every time."
Chen Yuyan is very suitable for curly hair, but she doesn't like it to remain unchanged. "I can do whatever I want with my hair curly, but after getting a perm, I can't make it straight."
"I'm also used to long, straight black hair. I think black hair is the most attractive, and I don't think I'll change my style easily in the future." Wen Yan's love for something lasts a long time, and he won't change his preferences easily.
The few of them first went to the breakfast shop recommended by Wen Yan to eat wontons, and then went to the mall.
Four youthful girls were walking and laughing in the mall, which was very eye-catching. Each of them was holding more or less shopping bags in their hands.
Although Dong Yuan’s current savings are not enough to buy a computer, it is enough to buy winter clothes. It is more convenient to buy inner wear in physical stores.
"My funds are limited, and the nice down jackets in physical stores are too expensive, often costing thousands. I also need to save money to buy a computer." Dong Yuan planned her funds in her mind, and bought good-looking down jackets online at a good price.
Chen Yuyan and Anyang's family had given them money specifically for the changing seasons, so they still had enough to buy a new down jacket. "That's fine, actually, some online stores have really good stuff. Let's just buy some innerwear today. Yuyan and I will take a look while we're browsing, and buy anything we find that looks good."
A down jacket costing several thousand dollars is about the same in terms of warmth and appearance as one costing a few hundred dollars. Perhaps the one costing several thousand dollars is made of better material or has a better texture, but she is not qualified to own such expensive clothes now. For her, practicality is enough.
The four of them were very familiar with each other, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Everyone knew each other's situation, and no one was as cautious about taking care of her self-esteem as before.
Wen Yan doesn't have any clothes that cost less than four figures now. She didn't buy anything today, but she saw some nice clothes in some niche stores, so she bought a pair of woolen wide-leg pants.
It's not that she is picky. It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Expensive clothes, in addition to the brand, also have better style and texture.
"Baby, show us the bag, let's go try on some clothes." They entered another store and the three of them started shopping with great interest. Wen Yan was just like a man who accompanies his girlfriend shopping. He would sit on the sofa and wait as soon as he entered a store.
The three of them also knew that the clothes Wen Yan was wearing were not cheap, and they didn’t think too much about it. Even if they had money, they wouldn’t wear cheap things.
When the shopping guide in the store saw these four people coming in, he quickly came over to serve them. Several of them were holding shopping bags in their hands, and it was obvious that they were interested in buying.
When the store guide saw Wen Yan sitting directly on the sofa, he knew that she had no intention of buying, so he hurried to serve the other three.
One of the benefits of dressing low-key is that you won’t be surrounded by a bunch of shopping guides when you go shopping. Shopping guides in ordinary shopping malls cannot recognize clothing brands without logos.
Wen Yan sat on the sofa drinking hot water. She glanced at the clothes in the store. They were all pretty standard. The styles of clothes on the market nowadays were all similar. They were neither outstanding nor wrong. After looking around, she felt it was boring.
Dong Yuan picked out a brown woolen coat. She was quite thin, so it fit her perfectly. "I think it's quite warm. I'll just change into something thicker later. I'll wear it with a pair of black jeans. What do you think, Wen Yan?"
"It looks pretty good. This color is suitable for winter. The fur feels quite thick." Wen Yan walked around her and expressed his approval.
Wen Yan walked around the store and found a beret for her. "It looks better now. Hats suit you very well."
Dong Yuan looked left and right in the mirror, admiring herself, and swaying left and right. "Won't wearing a hat make it inconvenient? I always feel like it will fall off after a few steps."
The salesperson quickly stepped forward to adjust it for her. "There's an elastic band at the back of the hat. If you move it too much, you can use a hairpin to hold it in place."
Anyang came up to look at her and said, "It's quite warm to wear a hat in winter. It looks good. It will also look good with a sweater later."
"Yes, I also plan to buy two fisherman's hats or woolen hats, so I can wrap my hair and protect my ears in winter." Wen Yan felt that after sunglasses and watches, she could buy some more hats.
"Then let's go look for some woolen hats later. How about buying the same style but different colors for the four of us?" Chen Yuyan tried on her clothes and joined in the fun in front of the fitting mirror.
Wen Yan imagined four people walking around the school wearing hats of different colors, and quickly shook her head, "No, do you think we are the Calabash Brothers?"
Anyang also looked disgusted. What kind of idea was this? She didn't want to wear a colorful hat and be treated like a monkey at school.
"White and black woolen hats are versatile. Other colors are really boring." Wen Yan's aesthetic taste is still simple. She can't imagine herself wearing a colorful hat on her head.
It’s a pity for Chen Yuyan. She thinks it’s super cool for four people to wear hats of different colors together, okay?
