Karma Chameleon


Gareth Pugh from Purple Magazine on Vimeo.



Credit : runwaym & stylebubble

Totally amazing. I like how he did a presentation instead of a runway show & the way the clothes move is so stunning! The shapes of the clothes are beautiful! The music fits the presentation perfectly.

That outfit is my favourite. I love how it will make me feel like I am batgirl when I wear it! Natasha Vojnoviv was spotted wearing the exact outfit & I love how she paired it wit patterned leggings!

One week down, 6 more weeks to go! I dontknw if I am allowed to say anything on my blog cause it seems like I might get sued. Anyway, karma really does exist! All the times when I just hang up on people when they call me to about credit cards etc & how I just ignored people who approached me to do surveys. They are all coming back to me.

Telemarketing is really hard for me because I find it very difficult to just talk to strangers on the phone. I get so demoralised when they just reject me when I didn't say anything yet! However I feel that this is a good opportunity to improve my public speaking & be more confident in myself! :) I enjoy doing field work more where we get to approach people instead of just facing the telephone all day!!

All in all, I think insurance is a very good industry to get into because of the $$$! But the selling part is so damn difficult. My morale got so low when I got rejected on the phone already. Anyway, no outfits because first week of work is so tiring. I sleep at 11PM latest now when I am still awake at 3AM on schooldays!

I am going to play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon on my NDS now. Super fun! ;) Why do weekends pass by so quickly when 9 hours of work just pass so damn slowly. Urgh. I hope we will get to do more field work!

  13. You're right. It does remind me of batwoman. I hate talking on the phone as well, especially to people I don't know.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I love the video! It's like a moveable fashion editorial! I love it!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I think being in sales is one of the hardest things! Thank goodness there's great fashion videos around to get our minds off stuff like not-so-fun jobs ;).

    ReplyDelete
  16. I don't know why,but i really dont like Gareth Pugh!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I quite like it,,,that video is amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Aaah that video is so fantastically scary! May have nightmares haha, but I love it. Hope your job gets better, I promise I will be nicer to telemarketing people from now on lol :)

    Oh I added you on facebook! How do you get that little link thing, or did you make it? xxxx

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  24. aaaahhh...that presentation was AMAZINGNESS! haha pokemon mystery dungeon is SO fun! i'm almost done with it (according to my brother, who IS done)

    ReplyDelete
  25. Creepy but cool!=D

    ReplyDelete
  26. slight flare jeans and heels/wedges are great!!!
    don't give up girl! ask questions the person can't say yes or no to. those always get to me. i think they want to talk but then they start talking about what they want to sell and i get stuck :I
    you can do it!
    oh my how come you have to wake up so early?!

    ReplyDelete
  27. natasha is cool. very supreme. but the style itself is too much for me at this moment.

    ReplyDelete
  28. So cool!!
    Black is the color!

    a kiss friend!!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. The photos are beautiful!

    Ugh, I'm sorry you have to take such a beating with telemarketing - it must be so frustrating. I definitely hope it will all pay off for you though, and it's great that you'll improve your public speaking :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. agreed! the movement of these clothes are amazing. reminds me of super heros!

    aaah i hope work starts getting for you. you shouldn't take all that rejection stuff to heart. although...it is a bit depressing. my job involves calling people up to do surveys, so i know how you must feel! but selling is a lot more difficult. i guess you just have to wait until you find an interested person!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I love the sheer cloth that is attached to the outfit! The whole outfit is so futuristic and i like! Natasha Vojnoviv kinda scares me though.. her legs are sooo skinny!!! Heh, anyway 6 weeks will be gone very soon, really!! Telemarketing is definitely not my cup of tea though. I tried the job for a few weeks previously and i felt the same way as you too! Maybe even worse. I dread going to work sometimes haha.

    ReplyDelete
  32. wow amazing. love how the arrow is pointing to her too haha! x

    ReplyDelete
  33. natasha looks SOOOO good wearing that! WOW amazing. beauty bat girl for sure.

    xxxxxxxx love LM

    ReplyDelete
  34. The movement on that dress is lovely!

    ReplyDelete
  35. yesss definitely one very damn coool dresss
    !
    x maike

    ReplyDelete
  36. I could never do telesales, I think the rejection would make me feel far too terrible :-(
    But hang in there, it's a great way to boost your confidence.

And aw, hope your telemarketing goes better as time goes on! <3 People can be SO rude, I used to field hundreds of calls a day at my old job, and even though people were calling ME they could still be so impatient and snappy!

  60. it's tough to be on the phone all day! and when i first transitioned to 9-5, I couldn't keep my eyes open at 10pm!

    ReplyDelete
  61. oh no! I never hang up on telemarketers but I do try and get off the phone as soon as possible :-( I'm sure this will be a great experience for you though--it will definitely improve public speaking skills!!

  64. When I was at Uni I was a telemarketer for a photographic studio (where I also did sales & at one stage canvassing, much I found worse than telemarketing) for several years...I think 6+? Hope it gets better ;) (it sure does after a while...)

  65. I'm wishing you loads of luck at work Qin!!!

    Btw, though the weather here is a bit humid... I getaway with wearing turtleneck tops at night... and when I know I'll be spending the entire day at the office... with the full-blast Aircon -- so I don't need a jacket too!

    ReplyDelete
  66. wow! thats soo cool! its kinda like batman-gothic-esque....

    enjoy pokemon! :)xx

  67. Natasha wears it well! =]

  68. it was very clever that he did that, probably he has saved a lot of money and his "catlwalk" was noticed and had a lot of credit in magazines and blogs

    ReplyDelete
  69. woahhh. its totally a batgirl outfit. haha

    ReplyDelete
  70. Look at your comments OO la la! Great post she looks amazing. Be confident in yourself!! I am sure you are doing a great job!

  72. Not a fan of Pugh; but he's got guts; that all I can say!

    Tons of luck and kisses for you! Don't give up babe! You can TRY to convince them, one way or another!!:D

    ReplyDelete
  73. Love Gareth Pugh! I think (not 100% so don't quote me!) but yeah I think Natasha is his muse.

    ReplyDelete
  74. now this is amazing, and after seeing this i love gareth a tad bit more than before...i love his design aesthetic because It really inspires me. He also makes me feel less guilty for always designing in dark colors like blacks and shades of gray because he does it repeatedly and never once comes off as a one trick pony...what a talent.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Love love Gareth Pugh! So increadibly innovative and talented. Amazing!

    And yay for Karma :)

  87. good luck with your job:) i'm sure you'll keep getting better.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I should try telemarketing sometime. I always disregard them and say "Sorry, not interested" like you, and the idea of doing it and being ignored like that freaks me out! It would probably be a really great confidence booster like you said :)

    Remind me again who did your header. I forget, and I have to go tell them how much I love it =)

  96. I am not a fan either of Pugh but I think he made a wise choice using Natasha. I have worked with her about about 4 years ago on the HUGO BOSS Pure Purple campaign. And she is so down to earth and she has great energy and passion for what she does.
