Fashion cheapskate

I know when it starts to get so cold because I start to see my breath. Fall has long been gone in Czech Rep. I have this feeling it's going to be a long winter and for once I'm hoping I'd be wrong. This is the time when I miss sunny Cebu and the eternal sunshine in P.I. Even when it's the rainy season in some parts of the country like in Surigao, you can still get out in shorts and flip-flops--absolutely something you CANT do in Prague at this time of the year.

You have to wear eighty thousand layers for you to dodge off hypothermia. For some reason Hulk Hogan always enters my mind every morning when I can barely bend to zip my boots from the layers of clothing I'm wearing. Warm winter clothes and boots are quite expensive in Prague. But shhh, I'll tell you a secret. I buy scarves, gloves, even boots from a really cheap Vietnamese store. My boots have been the rage at school since last year but only one teacher knows that they only cost 450kč. Knee-high ones, mind you!

So if you're a fashion cheapskate like moi, checkout this place. It's on the ground floor of OC RUZE building right across the (grocery) entrance of Centrum Chodov. I don't know its name (what a useless blogger, hehe) but I'm sure you wont miss it. And please, don't forget to haggle! They actually expect you to.
