Sunflower

Romper: Factorie, Cardigan: The Stage Walk, Belt: Xiamen, Flats: H&M

I apologise for the lack of creativity in my titles..kind of reflects the effort I put in into cataloging the outfits I actually took time to think over...

In any case, today was the second week of school and the first tutorial class of the semester...yay? Feeling a little troubled over some guy problems as well as who to group with :/ Guess I just have to trust that God knows best yea?

Threw on a shredded cardi for "conservatism's" sake and a weaved belt to pull the entire look together. Footwear features my trusty H&M flats, no less.

Knitted

Muscle Tee, Circle Skirt & Cardigan: Cotton On,

Beanie & Necklace: H&M

These past few days I seem to rarely wear what I planned to the night before - spontaneity often gets its way. After years, I think I finally nailed the white top + skater skirt look? (Please say yes ahaha)

Spontaneous item of the day: The powder blue beanie from H&M, which I centered my outfit around - I think the best outfit combinations arise when your mission is choosing pieces that complement your central piece!

Oh, and at $2.90, this beanie is SUPER affordable..so do grab it before it's all sold out :)

A Quilted Dream

Sweater: Cotton On Body, Shoes: H&M,

Jeans & Necklace: Forever 21

Quilted fabric was something that came out in SS14 and was perhaps somewhat associated with the luxe sport trend - but it's only until now that I actually own a quilted piece - this oversized black sweater from Cotton On Body.

It scores high points for comfort (feels just like pajamas) but I won't be the last to admit it looks a bit shabby - hence the decision against my initial inclination to wear it with my jersey pajama pants from H&M.

School starts tomorrow. All the best for the coming week xoxo

Mockingjay

Got this beautiful Mockingjay necklace today from a Carousell seller - the temptation to wear it every day is strong but then again so are fears that it will oxidise...

 

Muscle Tee & Denim Vest: Cotton On, 

Shorts: Bossini, Mockingjay necklace: Carousell, Bracelet: Forever 21

It was the perfect accessory for a simple yet put-together outfit - a light-washed denim vest thrown over a simple muscle tee and shorts combi. Starting to fall more and more in love with this $12 equivalent Cotton On vest - definitely worth the 2 years wait!

Leather Jacket

Leather Jacket: Ellysage, Graphic Tee: Cotton On,
Jeans: Forever21, Choker: Shoptheluckiestcloud, Shoes: MIYOC

My first faux/PU leather jacket - I've always wanted one, but my mum decided to get one made of real leather instead - too inappropriate to wear in this humid weather unfortunately. And a size too small as well - I made full sure to size up when placing an order for this lovely biker jacket - getting a size M with a bigger ptp (17") then what I'm used to (15.5"-16.5").

Paired this lovely jacket with a graphic tee dug out from my sister's wardrobe and my trusty mid-wash jeans from Forever 21. Classic rocker take this time - eager to experiment with more feminine styles in the future, no shortage of inspiration owing to the fact that almost every Instagrammer owns a similar piece (cue: cheers for finally buying something mainstream without first loathing it? Well, baby steps are essential).

Cheers & have a great day xoxo

OH BOY

BOY London Muscle Tee: Montifs, Flannel: Three Blind Mice Flea,
Shorts: Bangkok, Bag & Shoes: Xiamen

Finally brought my BOY London-inspired muscle tee out of my closet. Decided to wear it in the typical Brandy way - flannel around the waist, high-waist denim shorts, white sneakers. Says a lot about me doesn't it?

Back to December

I find it funny, I find it kind of sad. All the things that haunt me are the best I ever had...

December's only about two months and a week away. Today I decided to allow myself a short trip down memory lane. It was frightening, but I truly believed that God was there holding my hand.. And I survived. But wow, so much has changed from 5 years back. We don't really see how much we've actually changed year on year, but when we look back a few years, it's easy to realise what a different person we've become
