Holy cowbells. We've nearly reached Chinese New Year. I'm definitely not ready to consume all that bak kwa... No wait, that's a lie. Lim Chee Guan please OMNOMNOM.

Customarily, we wear bright colours like red or orange or pink because it's auspicious. Thankfully I'm over my emo-goth days, I remember one year, I wore leather-look jeans (wah so cool hor??) and an ombre shimmery purple top and my mother looked at me and exclaimed, 'you're wearing that??' so obviously it totally set my mind to wearing it and all the extended relatives were all, 'ohhh Alex so grown up, wah like rocker'... Although this might really all be in my head. It's hard to tell. Anyway, I might bust out this bright fuchsia pink skirt again because my goodness it is festive and bright. I no longer feel like torturing my mother with my sartorial choices - this is because I am legit mature. Now bring me that bak kwa.

Thanks for reading, and, no, I will not share my bak kwa so don't bother asking.

Missed my Monday post because I was sick and didn't go to work but I am back with a vengeance and today I unleash my inner beast in animal prints! There's a lot to love about this dress including the shimmery jacquard fabric, the colour, the way the cut makes my broad shoulders look defined but not too manly and the puffy structure of the skirt. But the best thing? It has secret pockets!! So great for discreetly storing things like tissue for when I perspire (all the time), my work pass, and nuts (for midday snacking of course).

Thanks for reading, secret pocket snacks for all!
