Wijaya

Top: Zara (Similar here)
Sunglasses: Aldo (Similar here) | Bag: Aldo (Similar here)

Skirt: ASOS (Similar here)
Ring: Vintage (Similar-ish here)
I'm not quite sure what I was looking right at but clearly it was very absorbing
Shoes: Missoni (A birthday gift from my ever stylish aunt!)
My colleague asked me today, 'do you shop every week?' to which my other colleague responded, 'more like every day!' Then, the boo asked me, 'do you ever wear an outfit more than once?', which is a pretty terrible question for someone who sees me everyday because it means he's not very observant. The answer is YES. I repeat my clothes. See?

I'll admit I have a lot of clothes but I'd like to think I'm economical about them. The problem though is that fashion trends change quickly and I really really really like wearing new clothes. So I've kind of solved my moral conundrum of being a wasteful materialistic person by donating my used clothes to the groundskeeper of my condo. She's a wonderful and hardworking woman by the name of Wijaya. Her husband used to be the groundskeeper but he passed away suddenly of a heart attack leaving her and their 3 young daughters behind.

Anyway, I've been passing my used but not shoddy clothes to Wijaya and I'd like to think her daughters are super well dressed now (except for the unfortunate time when I throwing away all my skanktastic clubbing clothes from the early 2000s. I'm sure she has better sense than to let her daughters out in such revealing clothes.

In case you're curious...
Praying for more fabric to descend from the heavens

Ok what was my point? Oh yes, so I really hope that you also donate your used clothes to good causes, be it the Salvation Army or to your own helper at home. If you would like to help Wijaya out, that'd be cool too. Just let me know! Three young growing girls need clothes! Thanks for reading!

Petite

Top: Zara (Similar-ish here and here)
Pants: ASOS
Necklace: Limited Edition
Pearl earrings: Old (Similar here)
Ring: Charlotte(Similar-ish here)
Bag: Prada (Similar here) | Shoes: Old (Similar here)
 I mentioned to my colleague that I had ordered a pair of white pants online and she expressed some concern. Since cut and fit is very important, but you can't try online purchases, it's a risky venture. 

Well, 'risk' isn't my middle name for nothing (it's not my name at all actually). I suppose I felt confident in my choice because I ordered it from the ASOS Petite collection. For shorties like me, petite collections save me the alteration expenses that I would have to incur for normal people sized clothing purchases.

Thankfully, many labels, like Dorothy Perkins, Top Shop, and New Look, to name a few, are offering petite collections so my choices have increased and my savings have decreased. DAMN YOU FOR BEING SO CUSTOMER-CENTRIC!

Thanks for reading, go out there and take some risks today!

Matchy matchy rainbow explosion

Dress: Zara | Shoes: Pedder Red

Oh hi. Just standing by this wall being grumpy.

Bag: Aldo (I love it and it can blind my enemies with reflected light)

Earrings and ring: courtesy of aunty Cyn circa 1970-80

Shing shing I blind you!




Alright so I might have overdone it with the rainbow-sparkles-galaxy look today. My colleague likened it to an explosion. Perhaps not my most work appropriate but I am trying to convince people that I am fashiony. I am not sure my colleague is convinced so I'll have to try again tomorrow.

Additionally, I like this scuba material quite a lot because it doesn't require ironing. All hail fashion for lazy people!

Ciao for now!
