Dressy?

To chase away my Monday blues, I decided to be dressy by wearing a sleeveless top. This was bought on sale at Cotton On and it cost me approximate SGD 12.

For patterned top, it is best to try it on as the cut of the pattern is important. It will alter the shape of your body as well as aesthetic reasons. This top that I chose was the only top that was symmetrical as the rest didnt.

To cover my fat arms, I pair it with a black cardigan (yes, my fav color) and a pair of jeans (that was folded in a deliberate manner). Seriously, we are experiencing a ridiculous November sunny days which I hate coz I miss wearing knitted materials on cold and rainy weather.

OL attire?

When it comes to office attire, I do have a big headache coz I dont think my clothes fit the OL (Office Lady) image. Here are some of the flared pants that I normally wear for office. Why flare? Coz it can hide my thunder thighs? I bought these pants from various places and these were reasonably priced. I simply loved these pants. I'm on a search for reasonable priced items and will reveal where I found them. Definitely not in high-end boutiques and the prices are pocket-friendly.

This pair of pants was bought in a shop located at Lucky Plaza and didnt realised that I would fall deeply in love with them coz it wasnt love at first sight till I tried it on. I often pair this with a turtle neck top. However, I couldnt find the same pair anymore. BTW, I couldnt find this turtle top from Dorthy Perkins as well! It's a double whammy!

These 2 pairs were from Cotton On in both black and grey. Same style but different colors. Perhaps, I'm lazy and will choose a suitable style (pinstriped) and buy in different colors. BTW, these pairs come in different sizes. These are high-waisted pants but I will use a slightly longer top to camouflage the unsightly rolls of my fats at the waist area. Usually, paired this with a pair of boots.

Usually, I will pair these pants with height enhancements such as heels or boots. These are normally pointed versions so these give an illusion in height. I'm no expert in providing fashion tips but these are some of the stuff that work for me. Hope you will like it!

Sunday marked the end of fun

Had met up with another gf, L for coffee on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Didnt have much sleep coz reached home in the morning and had a meeting at 10am.

After our coffee, we decided to shop and she mentioned to me that there was a shop that sold the nail polishes and eye shadows at a relatively cheap price. However, I got 1 eyeshadow only. Went to my fav parallel import shop to look for clothes. To my surprise, they had a couple of Liverpool t-shirts and got 1 for SL so that he could wear this T-shirt when he's watching the match this coming Sunday. Then went to a bookshop to check on more freebies and bought a couple of the mags.

Went Cotton On to check on their discounted racks before heading home via the public transport. Saw this top that I would like to get. However, I'm very particular about the cut of the print and the rest had a white line running across at certain parts of the top. This was the best piece of the lot.

Here are pictures of my prized possessions (one of the pictures was used in my previous entry) and I think I've a huge problem to curb my spending habits.

PS : The Bourjois lippies and Revlon are freebies from the newest mag in town. Not disappointed to get items coz I'm experimenting nude lips at this moment.

Hey Goodlooking

Let me extract something from Urban (newspaper supplement from Straits Times) under the column of Hey Goodlooking.

Q : What are you wearing?

A : My shirt, tie and belt are from Topman and cost about SGD 80 in all. My G-star jeans and Seiko watch cost SGD 400 each. My Salvatore Ferragamo shoes cost SGD 500.

After seeing this, I was back in my pissed mode coz this person lost my pressie (Porter - not Porter International) for SL. Damn pissed coz if you have so much moolah, cant you find back the same bag? Anyway, I need to calm my nerves coz poor SL is trapped in between. Poor fellow.

On the brighter note, my gf came to town and we went shopping together. Her only complaint was why am I wearing shorts. My reply to her would always be SG is so humid and I like to dress down.

Below is a preview of my summer staples. There are either paired with Birkens or Melissa flats. Not keen to torture my feet during the weekends. Secretly pray that I could wear like this and go to work. :)

For outfit 1, I'll carry my Burberry tote and wear a bangle. On Thursday, I chose a wrong bangle and was suffering with rashes. My arms had those tiny red bumps and I kept scratching. Argh!

For outfit 2, it was SL's idea to wear something different. It usually mean do not wear your denim shorts. Yes, I love my shorts so much that my weekend outfits will revolve around the shorts. Kinda scary. Had carried my Burberry sling bag along (given by my aunt) so that it could prevent the ugly shopping monster from appearing. It was small enough to carry my wallet, key pouch, mobile, etc.

Was sad coz I had accidentally stepped on my earphones. Hence, the earrings couldnt work as well as before. All thanks to my elephant weight. Dont have any intention to buy new ones.

The humidity level in my country is getting worse (so near to the equator) recently. Do drink lotsa water to keep hydrated as well as slap on some face masks to keep the face moisturised.

Hallo Summer! Bye Spring!
