I want it now! I have been begging my mum to buy me these amazing new shoes that are Alice in Wonderland themed but because they are so cute and fantastic they cost $200 and the moment I told my mum I wanted them it definitely looked like she wanted to pull her hair out! I think she's crazy because she won't buy me them just because her sense of style is wearing a garbage bag or wearing clothes fit or a grandma! Does not mean everyone has to look like they’re a zombie on a good hair day.
Mum should understand that wearing the latest fashion is the key to being popular and even maybe famous one day! Having a taste in fashion is a way to survive and if you have a mum like mine who only buys clothes that are "on sale" you’re going to die in high school just like me! So I hope my mum sees my point of view and finally buys me the perfect pair of shoes!
