Back To School! - What We Wore

First day back to school after a 3 month hiatus! 

This was what we wore on 13 Aug.

On Christine - Jacket: H&M (HK) ~S$38; Shirt: H&M (HK) ~S$20+; Belt: Cotton On $2 (on sale); Pants: H&M $20 (on sale); Shoes: Lowry's Farm from in-store brand Heather ~$30 (on sale)

On Eleanor - Yellow Cardigan: Bossini Ladies (price unknown); Top: New Look $13.90 (on sale); Pants: H&M $20 (sale); Shoes: JWest $79.90

Yes, I know. School started on 12 Aug and not 13 Aug but the joy of being able to choose your own classes means you get to come up with your own schedule! 

Technically, Elle had classes on Monday (12 Aug) but I didn't so it's not the official start of school for the both of us.

By the way, did you guys know it was the Chinese Valentine's Day on the 13 Aug? According to the Chinese Calender, it's the seventh day of the seventh month and this is the day when the Weaver Girl and Cowherd meets, once in a year as the Chinese legend goes. So,

Happy Belated Chinese Valentine's Day! :)

As legend goes, it always rains on the Double-Seven Day when the Weaver Girl and Cowherd meets because they are shedding tears of joy at being able to meet each other. Hence, cue our cosy wrapped up dressing, for it really did rain that day.

Yea. This is us. 

A little different from your average-sized fashion blogger,

but we love to adapt trends to fit our individual styles as curvy girls.

As fashion lovers, we enjoy reading and watching fashion related stuff. Sadly, most of them are catered for/written by slim-figured people and those who can afford high-end fashion. Quite unfortunately, the rest of us don't have their perfect size 0 figures nor the finances to maintain such a lifestyle.

THUS, this is where our blog comes in! :)

As students with limited spending power, we have learnt to create our own styles that are both wallet-friendly and flattering. Here, we'll attempt to show that not being skinny does not mean you have to compromise on your dressing and that being stylish need not be expensive. 

Join us as we chronicle our fashion journey! :D

Till next time

Love,

El & Christine xoxo
