I’ve decided that the next time I wear this ensemble, it’ll be for Christmas. FIngers crossed that it’ll be warm enough indoors when we’re in New York though… What do you think? I think it’s quite Christmassy, no? Of course, I’ll have a super fluffy down-feather mid-length coat with me as well.
What I’m wearing today:
Dress: Black and red floral skater dress from BRAT STAR
Accessories: Vintage teal and gold necklace from SELECT 18 (Soho, Hong Kong); Black flower barrette from ASOS; Black stretchy belt with gold bow from BCBGeneration
Leggings: Black polka dotted leggings from DOROTHY PERKINS
Yesterday was cheap pizza Wednesday and I usually go to Glazier’s to get a large Cheese pizza for $5.99 but instead, T and I skipped our routine and had Chicago-style deep-dish at Amore Taste of Chicago (just about 15 minutes drive from where we live). It was delicious and superbly filling!! I’m glad I wore something bulky and baggy… HAHHAHA!!
What I wore yesterday:
Top: Grey superheroes sweatshirt from MARVEL
Accessories: Red & Blue Power Rangers earrings from VICTORIA JOMO at Haji Lane (Singapore); Black flower barrette from ASOS
Bottom: Light blue chambray skater skirt from OLD NAVY
Leggings: Crimson opaque tights from UNIQLO (these are highly recommended! Super smooth and durable too)
Footwear: Black slouchy boots from AMAZON
So after I got dressed, I went up to T’s office (which is on the 3rd floor of our house while our bedroom is on the 1st) and showed him my outfit. I asked him what he thought of it and of course, my husband who tries to always be gentle with me didn’t say anything mean even though I could see in his eyes that he was a little bewildered. He merely said “hmmm… that’s random. Are you selling these clothes?”. HAHAHA!
Accessories: Rainbow-coloured felt button necklace from MIAOW & SQUEAK; Purple flower barrette from H&M; Set of 4 coloured bangles from PRIMARK; Beige stretchy belt with neon pink accents from H&M
Bag: White pleather bag with pink bow and black accents from BETSEY JOHNSON
Footwear: Dark Purple sueded platform wedge pumps with bow from HAILEY JEANS CO (on AMAZON)
I’m not sure what I’m going for but I’m glad I found another way to wear this super cute Marvin Martian crop top from Forever21 and also these bargain basement brandless ikat print harem pants I got from Ross. I have to admit that I researched looks for harem pants, tried it out on myself and failed miserably. Maybe I’m going for the Gwen Stefani in her track pants and bindi phase here. I don’t know! Hahahahaa.
I had a lot of outtakes when I did this shoot. It was supposed to be an easy and quick thing – set the timer, prance around and take 2 rounds of 5 shots each. BUT half-way through my first 2 photos I heard howling coming from the 3rd floor. T and Max were howling in unison and T was encouraging Max by going louder and faster. It was so hilarious and somewhat WTF that I just burst out laughing and stopped to listen to them.
I’m looking at these pictures and I think about how I’ll be turning 36 in exactly 2 months to the day. When I was a teenager, I thought that 30-somethings had to have permed hair and wear blue eyeshadow AND red lipstick. My life is nowhere near what I imagined it would be. 36, jobless and childless. But it’s not a bad life at all. I’m thankful for all that I have and all that I’ve become. I just never thought I’d be wearing a bold pineapple print skirt at my age. What did I know?!
I love my Pineapple skirt. I love food-themed clothes and accessories. I love food. PERIOD.
Another day, another bag! I love this Betsey Johnson bag that I picked up for what I think is a steal at Ross! I love Betsey Johnson’s crazy quirky designs and they go with so many of the things in my wardrobe! Even more, I love shopping at outlets, overstock and clearance stores for off-season clothes and accessories!
What I’m wearing today:
Dress: Purple Skull & Ribbons tube dress from HELL BUNNY (purchased at OFF YA TREE in Melbourne, Australia)
Accessories: Pink floral hair band from ASOS; Plastic airplanes necklace (gift from Tamares); Pink bangle from SONIA RYKIEL POUR H&M
Bag: Beige bag with black trimmings and pink bow from BETSEY JOHNSON
