Mayy's Closet #38

It is Autumn now and so nearly winter. The temperature is exceedingly cold now and especially this afternoon. It used to be sunny in the days and cold in the mornings and nights. But it is time for boots and thick jackets all. Brrrrrr.

Nevertheless, I associate autumn with maple leaves and the earthy sort of colours. I like that I can wear light weight material but in long sleeves and longer hemlines. They guard out the wind but help keep cool under the hot afternoon sun. In the beginning of the season that is. Now the rainclouds are approaching and so with it, usually winter.

Here's an autumn outfit I really liked:

The olive green off-soulder Mango top and tiedye maxiskirt from Ahsi as a birthday gift. And there, the m)phosis gold sandals in Shoestopper #31.

Back in CIC days, nearly three years ago now. I have had the Mango top for quite a while. More than 5 years now and I will never ever retire it. I love it too much, the material, the design, the sleeves, the colour that is rarely good looking. I bought it in Singapore, from a Mango sale methinks but it still wasn't cheap. Mum bought it for me because well, who could say no to it.

So comfortable for a day out and about. Effortless really to throw them on and still look like I put in an effort to go with a theme. I always like to dress to a certain 'theme'/look/style. This one is a no brainer. It is bohemian.

And of course, the skirt goes well with a normal black tanktop too. This Temt top is previously featured in Mayy's Closet #10. A more recent photo just early last year. I got the black and silver butterfly bag in this photo at Melbourne's Queen Victoria Market for only AUD5. Super big and stored a whole lot for a day of classes in uni.

There you go, a bohemian Autumn. What are your favourite fall colours?

Mayy's Closet #10

I can't believe it is only the tenth post of my closet segment. Nevertheless, I shall make it a celebration of sorts with one of my favourite outfits that I have grown to love and own when I came to Perth. It is the bohemian tie-dyed maxiskirt I got from Jeanswest two years ago in Harbourtown. I remembered first trying them on and going, goodness that looks good and I really like it! Then I put on the second colour and fell in love more. I got abit upset because I didn't know which colour to get then. Just standing in front of the fitting room's mirror and asking Anna HOW?! Then, the salesgirl came and said oh that looks really good on you! And I was all thanks but I don't know which colour to get. To which she replied, well one is for AUD 19.95, but if you get two, it is two for AUD20. AND I WENT OKAYYY, thank you, solves all my problems. I got both! Who wouldn't?!

So here is a recent shot of me wearing the brown one which I have kept here in Perth. I usually pair it with a black plain fitted tee. As you can tell, a black racerback tee works too. The top here is from Temt and it cost me AUD9.95 from Harbourtown. It has a studded firework design down the front which is something different and less boring. Also, it is a top long enough to be a tank dress for a really skinny person! I just shortened it here with some cringes.

I like how the look is very relaxed and covers alot of my least favourite parts of the body, yet I can keep cool in the heat. It is also quite slimming I feel on my hips. I hope. I brought this maxiskirt here to Florence with me too. We went shopping and got me my first Ferragamo Varinas in it. Always a momentuous experience. Photos credits: mayydiaries.blogspot.com

That's the mint green colour-ed maxiskirt. Completely the same, just different colour. It is a slightly more cheery colour so I was able to match it with black, brown, white teeshirts.

Even with the Ripcurl butterfly tee featured in Prints Two, for a more feminine and girly look. I have since brought this one back to Singapore and gifted it to my cousin Clara who I trust will love it as much or more than I did. I must learn to be less of a hoarder! Anyhow, with basic plain-coloured tees, you can dress it up with layering of long necklaces. A pair of sandals of ballet pumps and you are off to colour the world!
