This is a new top. I bought it yesterday and I haven’t washed it. I love it so much I had to wear it today! I know, I know… I’m supposed to be clearing my things and stop with the buying until my wardrobe is of acceptable size but I was weak. I went out shopping for gifts for T’s relatives and my friend Glenn’s birthday but I ended up spending about S$106 on myself. This top (S$24.90) and two necklaces from ACCESSORIZE (S$80.80). This just means that I’m gonna have to do another wardrobe clear out in the next few weeks. Heh… Give me 2 weeks to decide what I can part with… Heehee! I could definitely use some extra $$$
Anyway, I’ve been told that today’s get-up is quite unusual for me and I look more casual than on normal days. What can I say? I love this top a little too much to care! Also, it was raining when I left the house today!
What I’m wearing today:
Top: Light blue Little Twin Stars 3/4 jersey from UNIQLO x SANRIO
Accessories: Navy hair bow from a swop meet; Pink ear studs from GRER (gift from Felix); Black calculator watch from CASIO
Bottoms: Navy jeans from RIVER ISLAND
Footwear: Mint ARIEL ballet flats from Le Bunny Bleu
I’m typing this post out as I wait my turn at my neighbourhood clinic. I’m not at work today and I had a really bad night yesterday. I had these sharp pains in my lower abdomen (not like the menstrual ones) and now I feel like I did 100000 sit-ups yesterday. Miserable. I don’t know what exactly happened. A case of too much cake?? Highly likely since I’ve been warned my low HCI levels.
Anyway yesterday I got showered, dressed and out of the house in 15minutes! This is what I look like on lazy crazy unplanned days:
Top: Dark Olive Green pleated ruffle top from CLUB MONACO
Accessories: Green and silver Multi-strand necklace from DOROTHY PERKINS
Bottoms: Blue ankle grazer jeans from NEXT
Bag: Black quilted clutch wallet from RIPCURL
Footwear: Gold ballet flats with bow from PRETTYFIT
Happy Birthday to Clarence, Junmin and Rydwan! Thanks Michelle for buying all the cake and Juwanda for being such a FABULOUS BAKER BOY!
I’m either a “round”, a “rectangle” or an “apple/diamond”. I don’t know which one. I have no waist to speak of and my bust, boobs and hips seem to have almost the exact same measurements except for the fact that they jut out from different angles. I also tend to have a high sitting belly.
Slouchy comfortable jeans for travelling
For all the above reasons, I love shift dresses that either skim past my mid-section or those that flare out to give the illusion of hips. More than anything else, I love my jeans. They are my Saturday staple and I currently own about 5 pairs – different colours and fit. My running however has now significantly toned or reduced my lower body and I am a UK14 for bottoms whilst remaining a UK16 waist and up. The hunt for new bottoms (i.e. jeans) begins!!
My weekend uniform for hanging out
Because I’m only 1.53m tall and I technically have a shorter torso than the average person, I usually pick low-waist petite length jeans. Most times, 3/4 or capris fit me like full length bottoms, so those work too. And because of my belly, stretchy jeans give the best fit! I’m on the hunt for new jeans but they shouldn’t cost me more than S$60 a pair! With the exchange rates these days though, I think S$60 does go a lot further than before.
Dress down weekends. Always with the jeans & an indie band t-shirt!
Anybody seen this range of plus-sized jeans from Marisota? I was pointed to this link recently and 3 of their 9 styles caught my eye. Now, I’m curious.
WOW jeans – designed to make your bum look perkier without going to the gym
SLIM-FIT jeans – skinnies with stretch
JEGGINGS – no explanation needed, I love jeggings.
I’m not sure about the prices though. They are a little more than what I’d normally spend but I’m a bargain hunter and everything is always a little more than what I’m willing to pay. Most Singaporeans willingly pay over S$100 for Levi’s and I do value the fit of a great pair of jeans. They are generally hardier and last longer than most other items in my wardrobe. Maybe it’s time to think about paying a little bit more.
I’m not sure how opaque the last one is and I’m definitely not wearing it with my top tucked in! Also high-waisted might mean it goes right up to just under my boobs! Then again, it also looks like it’ll be great under my 100000 tunic tops/short dresses!
