11 buttons long

Despite having long legs , I've never been into maxi dresses .

But it costs nothing to try , so I gathered 2 of them earlier and locked the bolt behind me . The first piece looked like crap but when I put this on .....wham ! 

What ? Another playsuit ?

Intended to get the Hanna Bell Sleeve Playsuit in Nevada Sunset Aegan Blue ( pic below taken from Cotton On website )

White taboo not !

Grabbed four cotton tops from Cotton On today , with 3 of them being white because

only lately have I realised that , that colour really suits my skin tone .

While it's also the 7th day of CNY , I've got no taboo over wearing this colour at all during the period , which was a great thing seeing how it was on sale and nobody seemed to want them ....I do !
Whopeeee !

Sawadeecarp aladdin carpetbag pants

Can't get enough of harem pants .

Started with the first black pair , then one with a peacock print in dark blue and dirty white , now this .

An earth toned carp design ( hence the pun will you excuuuuseee me ) swimming all across the underside . 

Yeah , this Chinese New Year , I seem to like this tone a lot . 

Seems like a cross between mud , copper and wood grain .

Shirt dress with a wow factor

After years of searching , I finally found a shirt dress that I like and fits me .

Took in 4 sizes with me to the dressing room , S , M , L and XL  and despite me having eaten like a Sharpei unleashed into buffet heaven for the past few days , my weight has neither gone up , nor has it gone down . And although I still have some love handles jiggling and sticking out , I'm not gonna let it bother me . In the end , I settled for size S .

Lace lookalike playsuit

Cotton On still holds court for the best fitting playsuits that are all at once flowy , feminine and yet so outstanding in it's recognisable design and versatility .

To date , this has got to be the prettiest playsuit I've added to my wardrobe .

Long sleeves , ruffled edges on the pant leg with bell sleeves ....

Tiger striped bomber jacket from Mango

It's funny how I ended up finding yet another gem when I

was just randomly going through some clothes racks , in order to kill time .

Made in Turkey under the Mango label , it's a bomber jacket with a difference . 

Compared to the oriental inspired red and off shoulder black Cotton On bomber jackets I purchased last year , this one's considerably sheer , with an inner black lining , thus making it  comfortable enough to be worn even under the blazing sun .

Suddenly into lace

Sometimes I buy first , then take time to look for the closest match later , that's if it ever materialises .

 For me to bulldoze ahead regardless of the outcome must mean that I have fallen head over heels in love , over a piece of clothing to dare take the risk .

That's exactly what happened here . 

Found this beautiful laser cut lace , double tier , maxi skirt in Nichii .

It's my second skirt from this outlet by the way and I think they have some truly appealing retro inspired , flared skirts that any woman young or old will find to their liking . 

Aladdin or harem pants

Harem pants are still so popular , they never stay on the shelf for very long .

Irregardless , I still giggled when I took a picture of these pants just now . They're so ridiculously baggy , yet somehow when I put them on ,I feel so special ! Can't explain it .

Rainbow coloured peep toe wedges

Is this or isn't this the most colourful pair of shoes you've ever come across ?

It is to me .

Colour my bag

We're approaching the last days of the Malaysian year end sale and as soon as that is over , I'm sure Chinese New Year shoppers will be their next target . What that means another round of sales, folks !

If you ask me , this year has been a really good year to go search for stuff in the retail stores since so many people prefer to shop online nowadays as they're either too busy / the mere thought of lining up or even trying to get parking space just makes them throw their hands up and surrender . 

All this means a better chance for shoppers like me , someone who is in the midst of building a wardrobe ( yeah , I don't wait for New Year to make resolutions , I just get down and do it ) to land some really fantastic buys from the stores .

You have less competition ladies !

2 cat eye mirror sunnies and a really trashy aviator

Picked up 2 cat eye Quay My Girl lookalikes from Cotton On called the Gigi Cat Eye Sunnies and a really trashy pair of aviator sunnies from Brands Outlet .

The classic fitted denim jacket

One can never have too many denim jackets . 

I've accumulated a distressed one , an oversized piece and this latest one which is more fitting , known as a well....fitted jacket .

Various brands carry a similar version ..... Levi's , Topshop , Esprit , Cotton On , Forever 21 ....heck , I even saw one in Padini the other day at a very low price , but I don't think it's as thick as these brands I mentioned , so I didn't go try it on .

Kitschen haul - fit n flare and other glam wear

As I'm munching on a cracker smoothered with some smoked malidzano ( whoops that means I'm sort of having a snupper ) , I'd like to show you what I found in Kitschen today .

As you know , I'm a huge fan of Marciano by Guess and although I suuuuuuperrrr love that brand , it also comes with a price tag that bleeds a hole in my pocket ( oh , it's doing very well in Queensbay Mall as far as I can see ) , I'm glad to tell you that from the feel and fit of the clothes I tried on here , this is a good alternative , at a price that won't send your blood pressure shooting up up and away.

Don't be turned off by the fact that they seem to be targetting the younger set , you CAN find some fashionable gems here even if you're in my age group .

The funny thing is , even though I found similar Guess inspired pieces in Nichii , the cutting did not provide as good a fit as Kitschen's . Needless to say , that was very disappointing an experience . So very odd indeed .

Lovisa - long , long tinsel for Xmas

I never wrote Santa a letter and yet he knew exactly how to make my heart flutter with happiness .

It's been broken for close to a year ever since my last long , long necklace became tarnished , due to exposure to harsh winter winds .

See , I love long , long necklaces that stretch all the way down to my belly .

However , this particular type of necklace , is considered bohemian chic or vintage rather than what's currently trending , hence making them a bit difficult to find , even in Lovisa where statement pieces seem to be a choc a block .

Summery colour for the Winter Solstice

Happy Winter Solstice to all those celebrating it out there !

This was not an intentional purchase but since there was just one last size on the rack which gave me the best fit , I made several rounds in and out of the fitting room ( probably 4 times in total ) before I finally decided that I want to add this to my wardrobe .

Love the colour , somehow this lighter shade of yellow makes me look a bit more darker , tanned and brown , which certainly makes me feel more cheerful and upbeat . 

50s style flared dress

 You'll probably never know how long I've been searching for a flared dress that does not end up making me look like a hospital matron .

Calculate the massive savings

I'm so glad I saw some of you earnestly scrutinising all the price tags today . Glad I could be of help .

Yes , I went back again to H&M and this time lemme show you what I got .

Let's do some maths first shall we ?

Silver jhumka fish motif earrings

Say hello to my second bell shaped Jhumka earring .

Again costing MYR 10 only , also found in Little India , Penang .

Mad about bags from Brands Outlet

Ok I've officially gone nuts over the bags sold in this store . Wanna know why ? 

Despite some slight flaws , it's the price and design that gets me .
