Holographic ballet wrap for the next level


Here's another 
I-don't-know-when-i'm-ever-gonna-wear-this top I picked up today from Forever 21 .
Very daring , half of my 2 girls will be exposed to fresh air , sunshine and lots of eyeballs the day I decide to step out in this .

3 years late


Two posts before this , I was talking about how lace dresses seem to be so darned attractive to the aunty lurking inside of us .

Just boil the okra



Quick boiled till just cooked and still green  this is how most Chinese and Thais living in the northern states of Malaysia like their okra . The act of not slicing it open during the process of cooking , not only keeps the slime in , the instant you bite in , your tastebuds will experience both the natural water soaked sweetness from the outer pod to a slight dry rubbery bitterness where the seeds lay .
An acquired taste , once you get the hang of it , you will definitely be hooked with no turning back !

Most folks will add a portion of fiery spicy sambal on the side which of course takes it from bland to kaboom . 
Now , when the sambal makes its appearance side by side with the boiled okra , it attains a status that makes it esteemed enough to be placed on top of offering tables during the annual Hungry Ghost Festival , and a delicious enough treat for a guardian spirit housed in outdoor floor level shrines called the Datuk .

Progression into auntyhood


I don't think any young Malaysian lady would be caught dead in this dress below . These types of shift dresses with see through lace is favoured by the Malaysian Chinese aunty type , which is obviously the direction in which I am headed currently .
In fact , if a " young " looking lady does end up wearing something similar to this , it shows you just how old she is actually , or how much help she's had from surgeons (  look at the lines on her hands , those never lie ) or not ! Chances are , she's probably in her late 30s to 40s by the time she decides to walk outdoors sheathed in a laser cut example .

On the other hand ,while my Cotton On pieces are magnets that get me wolf whistled at , I feel the need to escape from that and take a break from younger fashion , well , sometimes , not always you know . 

Aunty fashion to me , is a lot of fun actually . I'm mystified at how it manages to embolden young lone Middle Eastern men into approaching me especially when I am dressed in tiger or cheetah animal prints paired with my denim shorts like what happened today . The guy was quite blatantly insistent in engaging me , despite me pointing out my 2 male escorts to let him know that I was not alone , yet , he still gazed at my face like he was about to graze on sweet grass gosh....I've never felt so flattered lol .

Anyway , this aunty fashion phase  seems to be a natural progression , as if we are wired to appreciate such pieces of clothing once we attain a certain age . Those patterns seem to trigger an emotion locked away for a good part of our youth , and that's why most times , you'll see it on a shapeless ah sum on a dinner date with her gang. Or......that sexy voluptously hot 42 year old ah sum whom people think is 25 !
