Hauls from Local Brand ~ Part 2

There were a number of sales in the first quarter of the year. Being a budget shopper, I didnt miss these opportunities to buy more basics.

I was surprised that I could wear the clothes of these local brands. My perceptions of these brands only catered for the slim and skinny. It didnt come across to my mind that I could wear their stuff as my preference is geared towards European sizes.

'Sales' is the main attraction to these local brands and the retail price of each piece costed less than SGD 20.

Here are my loots from local brands such as BYSI and Mphosis. These include two dresses and a top.

Both the black dress as well as top were from the same series and were heavily discounted. Yup, the picture cant really reflect the length difference.

The other dress was also heavily discounted, too and I loved the combination of different materials. Had been eyeing on that dress when it was on sale. However, I didnt have the courage to try thinking that I was too big for it.

Finally, I decided to summon my courage to try the dress. To my astonishment, I could wear this and decided to buy it. The SA went to the store and got me a new piece that I could purchase. Sweet!

I've decided to use the following ingredients to transform from office to drinks after work:

Will blog about my Bianca shoes another day.

Wishing all Happy Holidays!

Feline Obsession

My latest obsessions black and gold as well as anything related to animals particularly the cat family.

Black and gold are classic colors but I have never embrace this combi when I was younger. Thought that gold belongs to the older generation and this color has updated. It's making waves among the younger crowd.

Currently, I have developed an obsession of animal accessories. Had bought both a belt and a ring from Topshop and Diva respectively. Yup, these were bought in a sale and had lions . Had bought a couple of things but yet to update. Will try to do so as I'm having sleep deprivation.

Here is my collection of my obsession.

Weekend is here, any plans? For me, it's my last lesson before the next stage. Cant wait for the weekend to rest my aching body.

Will update more purchases.

Idle Mind or Creative Mind?

Whenever my mind idles, I will think of crazy idea to 'beautify' my stuff or DIY. One of the things that I used to do was using using old jeans to make file covers or a top. I didnt use a single stitch to sew my denim cover and simply use super glue instead. As for the top, it is too short in front and couldnt wear it out.

Recently, there was a fad of black elastic bands with nice buckles. I've seen it in flea markets and these are ridiculously charged. However, I managed to find it in some retail stores at 1/2 the price. Soon, I decided to save a bit of money to find the necessary materials to make my own belt. In fact, the actual cost of the material is relatively low and you could DIY easily.

Here is a picture of my belt and I've made a couple of similar belts but different designs for my cousins.

Currently, I dun have the mood to DIY and the next accessory that I'm planning to make is hair accessories. However, there are no inspirations yet. I did tried to make other accessories such as earrings, bracelets, etc. The costs of the materials are relatively expensive. I'm still searching for my inspiration.
