Sunday Best

Finally got to wear out mum's vintage skirt. Love the length of it, makes me feel so modest and classy at the same time. And, it has been a while since I've actually put on something decent to wear to church and other events. For the past few weeks, I've been guilty of taking apparels that are at the surface of my clothes pile, either because I wake up too late, or my school's workload just got the better of me. So excited for the holidays, where I'll be stress-free and I'll have more chances to wear non-sloppy outfits! Plus, I'll be going to HK - can't wait! 

skyline

I'm down to my last day of freedom before the semester starts *sobs*. Managed to do some DIYs during my free time, and this is my favorite piece out of all those that I made during this break.

I must admit that Singapore's skyline is quite breathtaking, so I decided to draw it out on an apparel, with my trusty permanent marker (fabric markers? Pssh. This works well too!) Now I'll have something to wear on Singapore national day!

Simply

Today's coordinate:

Top (Bugis street), Paperbag denim shorts (DIY originally dad's jeans), Body Chain (Topshop), Straw Clutch (H&M), Heels (Vincci)

You know what would match well with this outfit? A cup of green tea soy latte from Starbucks in my hand. This is the kind of look I want to be seen strolling around town in as I go shopping. However I highly doubt I'll ever do that because shopping in 5 inch heels is just torture. I did that once, and never again will I do that.

Cheapo

Today's one of those what I'd call 'cheapo' look days, because every piece I'm wearing is under $10! Trends die so fast thus I personally don't bother spending big bucks on apparels, except for shoes, that's like a different story. And also, there is immense joy when I manage to get so many pieces with so little $$$ woohoooo~

$8 Ombre skirt(thrifted from Salvation Army Family Store), $2 Embroidered bag(thrifted from New2U), $7.90 Crotchet top(H&M)*

*prices indicated as proof that they are under $10 lol

Finally tried the famous skinny pizzas at Skinny Pizza. Had English Breakfast and the squid ink flavored ones. Really tasty, and it's light so you don't feel bloated after eating them. But we were greedy so we order sides of truffle fries (TRUFFLE FRIES!!!!), prawns and pork sausage. Yeah, we were stuffed. So much for having a light lunch, ha ha.

Face Series Part III: Black Flow

Finally, we're on to the last outfit of the photoshoot! This black chiffon outerpiece is actually a button down dress, but I had been looking for a long sheer cardi for a really long time back then. It was really hard to find it in sg though, and one day I found this dress at Editor's Market which was the closest I could find to what I wanted. I was so elated but I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY WITH ME. So like the next day I literally ran to the shop to purchase it, and it was the freaking last piece! Thank heavens I managed to lay my hands on it, because the weird stares I got from the salespersons when I dashed in to the store like some lunatic would not have been worth it if I didn't. Anyway, here's the pics:

Toodaloo~

Face Series Part II: Peacock

Here's the second part of the photoshoot: 

The peacock crown was a diy that I did a few months back. I am sad to announce that I've accidentally crushed it and now the feathers aren't so neat anymore :(

Face Series Part I: Baroque Nature

Not too long ago (May, I think? My memory sucks), I did a photoshoot with Wena (see: http://www.facebook.com/WenaChanPhotography ) at Fort Canning Park. Anywho, this was the first outfit for the shoot!

Will be uploading the rest of it in the near future!
