This is another non-maternity outfit. I think I’m doing pretty well with adapting my wardrobe considering I’m already 7 months pregnant. This is a new dress I recently got on sale and I can definitely see myself wearing it for as long as my shoulders fit. It’s really generously cut, stretchy and has 2 pockets! I KNOW… pockets in a dress!!! The dream! HAH!
Being frivolous is getting more difficult when there are so many issues in your life you can’t take lightly. The point of this blog is to document life’s more trivial pursuits and instead there are so many ranty-tanty things I would like to write about, so let me try this again. Here’s something silly that I threw together about a week ago.
What I’m wearing:
Top: Blue ribbed tank from OLD NAVY
Outerwear: Mustard yellow chiffon jacket from a nonameshop in Far East Plaza
Accessories: Pink/Blue wooden bead necklace from FOREVER21
Bottom: Multi-coloured print maxi skirt from WET SEAL
Today’s lab work was easy. We were in and out of the clinic within an hour. It was really crowded when we got there and all the seats in the waiting room were taken, so I was really surprised it got to my turn so quickly. I was also glad the nurse taking my blood samples was quick too! 1 needle and 3 vials. No retry needed. Very often, I have to give both inner elbows and also the back of one of my hands. Been told repeatedly how fine my veins are. Also I’ve had blood spurt out from a vein, only then to stop flowing completely. So with the luck I got today, I’m very thankful and it put me in a good mood. The little things count when times are dreary, you know?
What I’m wearing today:
Top: Black & white striped tank from OLD NAVY
Outerwear: Mint green cardigan from OLD NAVY
Leggings: Grey leggings from OLD NAVY
Accessories: Pink frosted sugar cookie brooch from TWINKIE CHAN
So my family left last Wednesday morning and it’s been a week since they’ve been gone. Never gets any easier. I’ve washed their dirty clothes and bedlinens but I’ve left them untouched in the guest bedrooms. Basically trying not to reset the rooms so that I can hold on as long as I can. It’s been so quiet and I’ve been all mopey. Save for a short trip to the grocery store and post office, I haven’t been out all week until today. T and I went to Benjarong – a thai restaurant near our house. So yay! Not in sad leggings and baggy sweatshirts today.
What I’m wearing today:
Dress: Black & White floral print 3/4 sleeve dress from OLD NAVY
Outerwear: Olive green pea coat from FRENCH CONNECTION
Accessories: Lilac and gold statement necklace from H&M
Bag: Pink & Beige HORSESHOE COVE MAGAZINE TOTE from KATE SPADE
Leggings: Bright pink leggings from BETSEY JOHNSON
Roadtripping!! Heading to Arizona for a few days. Visiting with T’s Dad and spending Thanksgiving with at his Uncle Jim’s. Really psyched to be meeting the Happ cousins for the first time. T hasn’t seen them since he was a child! And that’s what happens when your family is all spread out over different states.
What I’m wearing today:
Top: Blue/Green floral shirt from OLD NAVY
Accessories: Grey Chinese knot necklace from 2014happy5866 on eBay; Natural weave bamboo bangle from ISLAND SHOP INTERNATIONAL
This is what I wore yesterday. I was a little busy bee helping T set-up his office (mostly cleaning up after him), then I went out to get groceries. I usually only buy groceries on Wednesday unless I need to get something that’s at a really good price – yesterday it was 79c Pilsbury cake mix and Gardein for only $3.49 per pack at Smith’s. My sister Rachel wanted 10 boxes of WHITE cake mix which she uses for her rainbow cakes. Apparently they cost about $5 each in Singapore but I only managed to get 9. I guess other people had the same idea.
Other than that, T and I also went out to Mantra Masala (just about 10 minutes from our house) for Indian food before heading to catch Interstellar at Town Square. Dinner was good even though it was quite pricey for the location and we ordered only vegetarian but because it’s near where we live, we’d probably go back. T asked for 8/10 spice level but said he could probably handle 10/10. Made me so proud! Whahahaha!!!
The movie afterwards was 5/5 in my books because it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a science-fiction movie that could suspend my disbelief. Compared to Gravity, I liked the soundtrack and effects so much more. Oh and earlier this year, when T went to E3 in LA, we stayed at the Westin Bonaventure – which was where the NASA space station in Interstellar was supposed to be. It was so obvious because I thought the hotel was quite weird and creepy to begin with. It had strange pods and all these concrete upper floors. So anyway, this is what I wore yesterday:
So it’s officially cover-up time. It’s so cold that even T has to wear a jacket and trousers to work – no more bare legs and t-shirts for him! I’m obviously a little more susceptible to the cold since I’ve lived in a tropical climate all my life. I was complaining about the cold last year but now that I’ve gone through the crazy desert summer in its entirety, I can safely say, I’m sorry!! I won’t complain about the cold again!! I love layering and the cold weather just means, I need to be more diligent about moisturising. Right? Right?
Accessories: Blue and Pink jewel statement necklace (gift from Pris Boh); Stormtrooper Disney brooch (gift from Sianny and Ginang); Brown pleather belt from STEVE MADDEN
So this happened today. I took these pictures on my way out to the Post Office and for some silly reason, it didn’t occur to me to put down the plastic bag I was carrying. I have no idea where I got this Lakeshore bag – have never bought anything from there and I have no children. It was however holding 3 parcels that I was going to mail out.
