I didn’t feel awkward when I wore a coat which was bought 10 years ago while walked passing through Melbourne CBD this morning with the majority of office workers having the most fashionable clothes on. It was not me the time when I lived in Shanghai. In my memory, I didn’t wear have clothes more than 2 years old or even one year old as that would be considered out of fashion as sometimes I would be stressed out by someone trying to compete for what I wore.

While in Melbourne, I still keep a lot of clothes which I bought many years ago and I feel more than happy to have them on. Why throw it as long as I feel comfortable enough to wear, actually nobody cares about your style, no one says anything for what you wear. With the money, I bought an expensive DIOR belt, or Salvatore Ferragamo bag and wallet made in Italy as long as I liked.

My brother used to change mobile every year, “What’s for?” I asked, “Because everyone’s using a new model in shanghai.” I was a bit doubt. But when I visited China at the beginning of this year, wow, I did see a lot of people calling from IPHONE 6 at most of tourist spots I visited.  Look at me, I am still using IPHONE 5s which I bought more than 2 years ago. A few years ago, one classmate told me: “ When I was on holiday in Shanghai, my mum was very curious about why I was still using such old  mobile phone, my mum said no young girls keeping that style anymore in Shanghai. “ “Well, in Australia, we are becoming countryside people, who care who.” I answered.

When I was on holiday in China this February, as  I didn’t take enough winter clothes with me, I searched the wardrobe, My God , there were a pile of brand new clothes I bought 10 years ago. I found it really good. Why I considered it out of style the time I was in China. Hurry up, I carried all the old clothes with me while I traveled around the China, they were perfect.

I realized there’s nothing you can do or not do, it is only on your mind—change your thinking, no comparison, don’t live in other people’s eyes, then you will be more satisfied for what you’ve got.
