Outfit | At Your Service

 Hope you guys had an awesome weekend!

I thought I'd do an outfit post since it's been a while I did one :)

Here's what I wore on Saturday.

Taken with my Samsung S4 | Photo credit to my mum.

I wore this to the S.E.A. Aquarium @ Sentosa as part of celebrating Mother's Day!

My family and I decided to celebrate it one day early partly because I've a previous engagement on the actual day and also, we thought that there will be lesser people.

Now, do you see why I named this outfit "At Your Service?"

No?

Well, here's one more photo.

It occurred to me that in this outfit, it looks totally natural if I had just curtsey and said "at your service." 

Don't you think so?

~~ 

I love the cutting of the dress: fitting at the bust area but flares out from the waist.

This is a very flattering cut for those who have bigger hips but a pretty toned upper body (or a ample chest area) as it accentuates your assets and downplays the flaws.

Wearing a white long sleeve top inside changes the dress game from a simple I-just-threw-on-a-dress-because-I-can't-be-bothered look to a preppy yes-I-put-in-effort-to-look-effortless look.

Doesn't this remind you of the time where we had uniforms for school?

Probably a good time to add #throwback.

Red is a pretty bold colour so, for me, it's either match it or keep it simple.

In this case, I matched my shoe to the dress while keeping accessories in simple black (which matched the crosses on the dress anyway)

Oh yes, bonus photo!
Had a Sorbet Lolly in my dress colours!
Strawberry and Yoghurt flavoured.

It was pretty yummy too! :)

Till next time.

At The Bottom Of Everything.

As promised in my shopping haul post last month, 

here's how I would wear these 6 different bottoms.
Just one of the many ways, of course.
:)

This is pretty overdue but better late than never...right? >.<
I went on a cruise during Lunar New Year and decided to shoot this onboard. With the help of my mum and her phone (Samsung Note 2), of course! :)

Hope you guys like it! :)
Pardon the grittiness for some of the photos.
I need to invest in a camera, obviously.

Take a chill pill and hang around the beach (or on vacays in those tropical places) in these outfits!

Denim shorts are the basic of the basics while
T-shirts and shorts are the easiest combination of them all.
But we don't want to be the typical tee and shorts dresser so...
Look for T-shirts with interesting details to stand out even in the most ubiquitous way of dressing!

I WAS ASKED TO WEAR SOMETHING

 ...RED

Please pardon the piss-poor quality of the photos!

Made of a super thin cotton, these drawstring shorts are oh-so-comfy.

I can just lounge in them all day.

The heat will never get to me! 

They may look like bed-material, but who says you can't wear pyjamas out-to-town?

Pair any pyjamas bottom with polished or luxe-feel looking tops and you're good to go! 

It's all about contrast, baby.

Shirt: NastyGal

Red Vest: Topshop

Shorts: F21

Shoes: Itti & Otto

Necklace: H&M

Arm Candy (Bracelet Ring): ASOS (I think)

~~

Vroom-Vroom 

Jeans; another staple of anyone's essential wardrobe.

Yes, t-shirts are the way-to-go, always. But as always, also, details play an important part!

Tie a flannal shirt, or in this case, a denim jacket, around your waist to create another dimension to the otherwise boring tee&jeans combo.

Shirt: Uniqlo X Laduree

Jacket: Warehouse

Jeans: Topshop

Shoes: Itti & Otto

Cap: (same as previous) *Scape

Sunnies: Isetan

Necklace: From an online shop, eons ago

Bracelet: Topshop

Colour Me Plaid

The only photo not taken on the cruise... In my defense, I did bring them onboard. Unfortunately, we missed one dining night and I didn't wear this in the end.

It seems like a difficult thing to match plaid but when all else fails, go for a solid coloured top that matches one of the colours of the plaid!

This also works with every other patterned/colourful bottoms :)

Or if you're just not feeling it, a plain white tee will ALWAYS work.

Top: Dorothy Perkins

Skirt: Pull & Bear

Shoes: ASOS

Arm Candy: Hand-me-down

Rings: Can't quite remember...

Necklace: Zara

(p)Leather 

Yay for a library onboard!

Invest in a leather skirt.

It has the ability to instantly "coolify" an outfit.
Same goes for a leather jacket.
Anything leather, really.

The zipper running down the front and the uneven hemline lends this skirt its character.

I love it.

Top: Cotton On

Skirt: Pull & Bear

Shoes: Americaya

Necklace: Zara

Ring: Diva

Arm Candy: Dorothy Perkins

~~

(too) Prim and Proper

Not too fond of this photo...sadly.

Honestly, I would have done my hair up and change the shoes but...
they had to collect our luggages and I had to pack my heels in T.T

Taking the fail-safe fashion route, I paired the patterned bottom with a plain white top.
Jazz it up with a statement necklace and/or a colourful clutch!
