Spring Clean

Just started a mini shoe spring cleaning, to clear away shoes that should have long gone to the bin and shoes that I don't even wear anymore even if I were to keep it for the next 100 years. Admittedly, I also needed space for new shoes to come in... :)

Okay, so I have a lot, okay, too many clothes I haven't worn before / worn 1 or 2 times / never try but bought it anyway and it doesn't fit or stuff that I bought with the dreams of being able to squeeze into... and I would really love to get rid of it pronto!

Not only it is eating space into my wardrobe, precious space I must add, I can't see any of the new clothes I bought anymore because all I am seeing are the clothes-that-should-be-gone blocking my lovely view :(

So I am going to continue my spring cleaning. Out with the old and in with the new.

It will hurt like a bitch (throwing out my precious clothes) but I know it will be a good thing.

Merry Christmas!

Have an awesome Merry Christmas everyone!

Cheers!

Thrill Me

Three things that thrilled / happened to me today:

1) Found a pair of amazing jeans that surprisingly fits me superbly well and ends right at my ankles (FINALLY, I don't need alteration!) AND.... cost a mere S$21! OMG!

2) Hurriedly rushed out of the dressing room and exclaimed to the bewildered SA excitedly, "I love these jeans! I'm going to buy them!" And thus, bought the last 2 pairs right away! (Though I have to admit, I was contemplating on getting another same pair. When it was my turn to pay up, I looked so forlorn, I called out to the nearest SA and told her I am going to buy another same pair, which I left it at the dressing room counter. It was a bit drama as the SA rushed up and rushed down to get it for me, haha!)

3) Realized how much I miss shopping at bSYI (sighs, it has been so long, why?) - went there yesterday and today. The friendly sales staff recognized me (looks shy). Bought 3 tops in total from my 2 trips there. Lurve bSYI!

P/S: Thank goodness I have ample self restraint on today's impromptu shopping trip or else I will have to end up eating grass at tomorrow's Xmas eve dinner!

Toying with the hair

Recently, I have been toying with the idea of changing my hairstyle. FYI, my current look is a plain and straight style, with the length touching my collarbones. I am at the process of growing out my hair so that I can finally experiment with different looks (breathes a loud sigh of relief).

Ever since I saw this look on Carey Mulligan, I loved it so much that I wanted to try it. Thankfully, my sensible brains stopped my reckless heart. I remembered the horror several months back when I cut my hair this short... Not because I can't carry it off, the process of growing out the hair can be a really tiring one. Plus, I don't want to look like a boy anymore!

My current hairstyle (on good hair days) except with a longer fringe. Why I love this look mainly because it is a simple fuss free look for me. As much as I love this look, I really want to change my hairstyle :)

Some other super lovely hairstyles!

And judging from the pictures above, I think you can guess by now which hairstyle I will go for now! (winks)

If I had the guts...

... I would get my ears pierced and have these babies adorned on them already.

I'm Lying WTF!

I am supposed to post this on the last day on November but I forgot! Oopsie!! Here it goes, three days late!

I have decided to reveal the shopping escapades for the month of November! Screw shopping ban because I always break it the moment I decide to start. Yes, I have been lying about making a pact not to shop :(

Let me reveal my loot...

Baby blue halter top in wrinkled cotton

Too cute to pass up.

T-shirt

I love t-shirts with funky / quirky images on them as much as plain basic ones. They bring something to an otherwise boring outfit.

Bib top

This is my lazy - Sunday - Hanging - Out - With - The - Friends top. Light, comfy and soft.

Mustard yellow top

Unique colour that I simply couldn't resist.

Floral spaghetti strap / off shouldered top

Really like it a lot but can attract unwanted attention whenever the straps slip off as it can be quite loose.

Blue top

I love, super love tops like these!

Floral top

My love for floral (though not necessarily, it depends) , flowy and long tops have been steady and constant. Whenever a top like this catches my eye, I will willingly part my cash for it. They go best with cigarette leg pants. This look is the staple in my style.

Beige blazer

Comes with a sleeveless matching top which I omitted it because I don't really like it, this blazer has quickly become one of my favourite blazers because firstly, it is lightweight, meaning I won't get heatstroke from a full day of wearing it after walking around town under the hot scorching sun and it practically goes with anything!

Polka dot dress

A girly off shouldered piece.

Blue tunic with pink vest

One of my favourite buys. Originally, it is supposed to be a dress but I am going to wear it as a tunic because I don't need further exposure.

Black dress with ruffled front

The simplicity of this little black dress means versatility and the million different ways I can pair it with.

Grey top/dress

A unique piece which is great for days where I feel lazy and running late. Pull this over and I get a top and skirt = dress! Ta da! Don't even need to think about what to wear / match with top and bottom.

Blue Maxidress with ruffle details on straps

It looks cute!

Beige shapeless dress

I really debated hard on whether to get the dress because: do I need a shapeless dress? The answer is a YES! A million different ways I can wear it means wide versatility I LOVE!

Blue polka dot dress

At the first sight, I thought 'no' as I didn't need to add in one more polka dotted dress into the wardrobe. The lovely people at my favourite shop suggested that I give it a try and immediately, I decided to get it. The colour is brilliant, the cut and fit of the dress is insanely amazing. The length is just right. Plus, it fit me superbly. Such a gorgeous piece like this is something I don't pass up.

Topshop skirt

Bought it last month. A little tight I would have to admit (after a meal), but the determined side of me won't pass it up, especially when it went on sale. Yes, it looked so crumpled because I haven't got around to iron it after sending it for cleaning in the washing machine. Wore this beautiful piece to The Sister's graduation ceremony.

Blue vintage inspired skirt

This vintage inspired skirt caught my eye because I can imagine the different ways to pair it with. Picture isn't clear to see the many individual pleats on the skirt.

Grey skirt

One of the funkiest skirt I owned. Beautiful drapings with a pretty unique design, I must add.

Red trousers

To be honest, though I loved the pants from the moment I saw it, I never thought I would buy it. I classified it as 'I love it but won't get it' category. Number 1 reason was because I was afraid I would not have the guts to carry it off. But the lovely people at my favourite shop gave me a zillion reasons to get it, shoved me to the changing room to try it and eventually, I fell deeply in love with the pants because, the fit is simply superb.

Grey high waisted pants with sash

I love this pair of grey pants. The cut and colour is superb and it made me feel like a million dollars when I tried it on for the first time before buying. Surprisingly, it cost less than $20. This shows that the perfect piece of clothing does not need to cost a lot. How I wish I can find more of these elsewhere easily without breaking the bank though.

My ultimate favourite buy of the month goes to:

Made from vintage fabrics, this quirky dress really caught my eye. The patterns are simply too amazing to pass up!
