Nail colors and just colors

I used not to have long nails and always cut my nails super short. Always envious of those girls who have long nails. I discovered that my cure was to apply nail colors on my nails to prevent myself from damaging my nails.

Below is the nail color that I have used for SG's wedding and this was also my gf's handiwork. All she used was electric blue tip and the rest was using clear nail color as well as glitters. Really loved her work. Please pardon my ugly fingers.

This is now my current nail color. It has a black based but have applied a lighter black color with glitters. Hence, it will appear either gunmetal or purple under certain lighting. BTW, these were bought in Daiso and are relatively cheap. Constantly, I will source for bottles whose seal remained and are not torn. Most of the time, the bottles seals are already torn and consumers will use it on their fingers.

I decided to take a plunge of resisting the buying of black colored items and tried to inject colors in my wardrobe. Had bought this blouse featured below from a shop in Heeren recently and it's not exactly cheap. The brand is called M (renowned brand known for quirkiness). Loved this top totally coz of its shape as well as geometric patterns. Often, I refer this top as a buffet top as it allows movement. But my mum and SL think otherwise and find it unflattering. Well, still loving this top despite of their opinions.

Wish me luck in my conquest to break off with blackie and embrace exciting colors in my bursting wardrobe!

160609 - SG's wedding

SG's wedding is the one that I was really anticipating coz I bought a cheongsam for that occasion. However, it was a color themed wedding for the bridesmaids. Sigh! The white dominate the day while black is the color in the night.

Honestly, I really hated white coz it's a color that doesnt flatter plus sized like me. The hunt for the perfect white dress was a nightmare for me. Went to Far East, there were some that were normal-looking ones but ridiculously priced. Not worth to put my moolah on them.

The black cheongsam was bought from ILT 96 in Jurong Point. Relatively cheap as compared to Tong Tong. Was in Shaw Tower to re-sole my shoes bought from Charles and Keith.

Decided to drop by Tong Tong to check for stuff and saw a silk jacket going for SGD 299. Not cheap but I was looking for the design as it's a black and white combo. I was very interested and decided to ask for a discount as I knew the boss. Patronised the shop before all the publicity as my office was in the same building. The interesting part was the manager of the shop made a very long call to check with her boss as I told her that I knew the owner. Her reply was she was not in town. I found it rather fishy and she kept questioning me about how much I knew about the shop. Come on, give me a break and I didnt buy the jacket. Perhaps, it's her attitude and I'm broke already.

The hunt of the perfect white dress continued as the bride insisted on white was the rule of the day. Finally, found that dress in a shop in Lucky Plaza that sells cheap fashion. I'm extremely happy coz I dun see a point to blow my budget on a dress that I will be wearing occasionally.

For the shoes, I was racking my brains and found this pair in my shoe cabinet. Obviously, it was left in a corner and forgotten about it. It's simple to match and I re-soled it for a longer usage.

My theme was retro and the red brooch was a double happiness. It's perfect for the cheongsam. Simply love my cheongsam as it has a modern twist to it. Of course, I bought a couple of bodysuits so that this could hold up my body. It would help me to look slimmer.

Honestly, it was a honor and yet tiring to be a bridesmaid as there are so many details to look into so that the bride wouldnt be too stressed. Was on my toes most of the day and completely drained at the end of the day.

Overall, I'm satisfied with my choice of clothings and will leave you guys to decide.

PS : The champagne sash was the bond among all the bridesmaid and everybody tied a knot except me coz I would look pregnant if I followed them. The white flower cosage was bought from Daiso. Of course, I placed the sash sideways and slanted so that I could look slimmer.

White Dress : Lucky Plaza
White Cosage : Daiso
Shoes of the day : Charles & Keith (past season)
Black Cheongsam: ILT 96
Double Happiness Brooch : Tong Tong (formerly Tan Tan)
