Dress worn as Top: Zara | Skirt: Asos | Shoes: Zara

This outfit is one of those "dress worn as top" moments. As i have a hard time looking for a longsleeve-black-and-white-stripes top like this so might as well use this dress for the meantime. And it works! I like how polish this look turns out. The black and white look is always classic i guess. In fashion world, they call the stripe look as nautical. I have to know why. Any idea?

Little Red

Dress worn as Top: Asos | Skirt: Asos | Shoes: Zara

Hello there! Having a good weather over here so might as well enjoy the day. It is my first time wearing matching-solid-color top and skirt or "Monochrome" as they call it in fashion world. And did i say RED is my favourite color? I love how vibrant the shade is. It shouts attention and elegance at the same time. Too bad i cant go red all the way as i dont have red pumps YET. Reminds me, i need to hunt.
The top is actually a dress i wore here. I got that idea from a fellow blogger. And it is quite a clever idea. But tricky as well. Depends on how thick and long the dress is and how long the skirt, over it, would be. Thats why this skirt is so perfect as it is long enough to hide the bottom of the dress inside. It also matches my favourite shade of lipstick, MAC Lady Danger.

Keeping Up

I find it hard to find a pencil skirt that would look good on me. Either the waist is too tight and the bottom is too loose or the other way around. This pencil skirt is so perfect, I bought two. It creates that illusion of smaller waist and wider hips. In case you are wondering how tall I am, well im only 5'5. I wear UK size 8. Although some says i already look thin, I still want to lose some weight, especially around my belly. Since I gave birth, I really have a hard time dealing with my protruding tummy. I cannot do extreme exercises as I had caesarean delivery. I just rely on my not-so-diet diet. As Asian, I eat rice almost 3 times a day. So where's my diet there? Well, I eat brown rice and in small portions. I also drink lots of lemon water (did you know the benefits of lemon water?). And I have never eaten sweets and chips, and haven't drink soda, tea, coffee, juice or anything fluid except water for the past 10 years.

Sweats in sweater

This is my favorite skirt. It makes my waist so small and it goes with everything. And my favorite part is that it has pockets. Im really a forgetful person after my cesarian delivery. So i hate holding things as i might end up losing it. As you probably notice by now, i don't own lots of bags. In fact, i hate bringing one. I know, not a typical woman right? Its because i dont bring a lot of things except the essential ones, like wallet and mobile phone. So for that small things, a bag for me, is unnecessary. And having a having a pocket is a must.
Anyway, I am preparing for the autumn so im pulling out my sweaters from the boxes. Too early, right? But it is starting to rain out here in Brisbane. And my skin cannot withstand even just a cold wind. Though, i dont own a lot of knits. Maybe its time to shop! Yay!

Dress: Topshop | Shoes: Zara | Bag: Coach

I don't own a lot of skater or A-line dresses. I don't know why. But looking at this dress from Topshop made me think maybe I should buy more. I just don't like the length of this dress though. I would prefer something that sits just below the knee. It feels age appropriate and more formal.
