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)

Mum's The Word | A What-To-Do Guide 2014

Mother's Day is just around the corner!
Literally 1 day to go.

There's this old Chinese nursery rhyme (video) exalting the greatness of mothers:

"世上只有妈妈好 

有妈的孩子像块宝

投进妈妈的怀抱

幸福享不了

世上只有妈妈好

没妈的孩子像根草

离开妈妈的怀抱

幸福哪里找"

The nursery rhyme is about how a child with a mother is the most blessed and how happiness is only found in the arms of one's mother. Mothers are the noblest beings in the world.

I'm sure you've seen this video floating around:

Indeed, a mother has the toughest job in the universe.

If you haven't been showing your appreciation to your mum, this IS the day to do it.

:)
