Mayy's Closet #89

As I go about my life, my head is filled with the potential clothing line I have created since I was a kid and never truly found shops that could satisfy me entirely, fashion wise. Affordablilty is always an issue. And quality. I just can never truly find these. But when I do, I build them into my bulging closet.

Today, I blog about my uniform. For plane rides, and all kinds of travel modes, normal days, bored days, and just overall laziness.


This electric blue oversized top is from Supre. I sometimes wear it as a dress during summer because thankfully, I am short enough as it is. Which explains my fascination with heels.

I love the oversized look and throwing on a pair of leggings for comfort. Accessories and makeup go a long way to make this outfit go from casual to dressy. I usually pile bangles (assorted and never matching) on my arms, and simple stud earrings with a statement necklace. Otherwise, it is statement earrings and simple necklace chains.

Since leggings are only good in black mostly, the makeup veers towards heavy eyeliner and darker eyeshadow shades. Perhaps I am never the pink toned kinda girl?

Honestly, I prefer wearing leggings over my ankles so they appear longer instead of stopping short over the shoes. Ahh well, the platform wedges from Wittner's are already winning and attention-drawing all on its own. So the nude colour works well for its design and for spring and summer.

I just thought I would make up for the short closet post earlier. Okay, so I'm just a little bored.


Not the most glamorous of scenes but I was on a tight schedule! And I was with my parentals so not really anyone to help me take a cute photo..


I paired the Supre pink v-neck top with the Supre mesh maxiskirt. The corset belt was a buy from Taipei. The grey cardigan is from Chicabooti. And my beloved glitter stilettos! I just felt very tall and long in that outfit. Maybe its the maxiskirt. But good illusion for someone quite petite like I am!

I was staying at the hotel with the parentals so I didnt have much choice really. Had to throw together outfits with whatever I have packed. As I only wore that for the couple of hours in the cold winter's night, I decided to re-wear the same stuff for another simpler night out...



Except this time, I wore my coral ballet flats and used the pink top as merely an accent.



To spice up this seemingly simple outfit, I wore my peacock ring...


Aint it cute! But so big, and certainly a conversation starter!

But of course, I prefer feeling a tall drink of soda for a dinner, and leave the ballerina outfit for a daytime outing!

Good Monday evening everyone! Well, I suppose it is night time already and the whole being back in SG thing is starting to sink in with my later sleeptime. Anyhow, I have had quite a good week being back, meeting friends and cousins and having good food. A well-deserved break albeit some good thinking in to do.

Here's a short closet post for you ladies.

What a pretty print and I couldnt have NOT bought it when I saw it in Taipei Shihlin.

Really didnt think to pair it this way when I first bought it but this is my first time wearing it. I saw that it was long enough to cover and wear leggings with. Since it was such a gorgeous day out that day in Perth, I threw on the blue chiffon top to layer it.

I just felt the chiffon top hides some imperfections and bring out the prints. My leggings had very subtle glitter which cant be seen here in the photos. I love those leggings! Any glitter and shine ;)

What shoes would you wear this with?

Mayy's Closet #74

Still stuck in uni doing consultation. Students really only show up at the very end. Exam's Tuesday so I really dont expect anyone until Friday or Monday... Anyway, so many thoughts running through my mind at the moment. Perhaps I will do some thinking and have pensive moments to myself soon.

Anyhow, I managed to squeeze in some fun and partying with my college friends when Tom came back into town during the last couple of weeks of my thesis submission. Shocker really. But here is the outfit for the night of fun amidst the stress.

A chiffon top bondage dress from Supre. Bought it last year but never got round to wearing it because the top part is trasclucent and I couldnt think of a good way to wear it. Went with a basic black boob tube for the night but would have gone with a lace bustier anytime! So this dress isnt going anywhere at the moment.

Okay, so it is a little short. I do wish it is longer so I can wear it for corporate purposes. Black and gold is my favourite combination and never fails me.

Sometimes, a little simplicity never hurts. Nothing too loud but still enough for me to go out and have a good and sexy time!

What with all the fashion week going on in the global fashion capital cities, I live vicariously through the likes of Ingrid of thebaghagdiaries and Bryanboy of bryanboy.com. Their lifes so amazing and they do their work so well. You can also see behind all the glamour and glitter, they must have put in so much hard work in their own way. If you don't already know, you need to head on over to their blogs for some awesome reads.

As for me, I shall take a break from my work and do a little post on clothes which neglected on this blog but my days revolve around it on my facebook page, Mayy's Closet!

Here goes! For the wonderful spring/summer days approaching...

A maxidress from Supre that can be worn two ways. Halterneck in this case and strapless in the next. It is a tad long for me but got it altered.

I love maxidresses, they really elongate the body and make me seemed so much taller than I actually am. In love with the simple style that you can dress up or down with it. Like a blank canvas to play with. Bangles, long necklaces, earrings, rings, bags, shoes. Oh the endless possibilities!

No harm that it is definitely in my favourite colour of all time. That exact shade of blue/green. Oh the wonderful robin-egg blue colour of a Tiffany's box, wrapped me up with a pristine white silk ribbon please.

Maybe you will find a charm or diamond in me ;)

SUPER EXCITING NEWS FOR ME! But let's just leave it at that. I am very happy to have received some good news today after a stressful few weeks. And also to be able to do a bit of shopping at the mall, scoring some awesome bargains that I have been waiting so long for. YAY!

Anyway, let's talk clothes some more. This post focuses on an upcoming trend, the pussybow blouse. There are so many kinds in the scene right now, from chiffon to sheer overlay blouse to satin to vintage cloth to prints. I bought my first one and fell in love with it last year from Zara TRF. So well worth the bucks I shelled out for that one...

However, the ones in this post are my bargain buys from Supre recently. Only AUD7.50 each. Unbelievable! I had to get both colours available. Wished they had more colours. Would have bought me a rainbow range!

This is the ivory white satin one. You don't have to tie a bow really, just let loose for abit. A smart casual look.

With grey jeans and my awesome Zara booties.

This is the favourite one out of the two. The classic black satin. Tucked in and carefully tied around the neckline for a more polished look.

Loving the cuffed sleeves and the smooth material on my skin!

Loving it so so much and I know that they are so easy to wear and dress me up in a flash! I went and bought a new sheer coral watermelon coloured one too. YUMMY! Neons and brights are the way to go this coming spring. LOOK OUT.

Been staring down my clothes for sale page on fb so much so that I haven't been blogging about clothes. Alittle guilty that I neglect this but seriously, my mental wellbeing isn't at its peak. ANYWAY, the body's and brain's refusal to do any form of work for these couple of days have brought me to recover my backlog posts.

This outfit today focuses on the skirt I got from Supre and paired with two simple tops. A short summer skirt but perfect for brightening wintery blues.

I got this pink and white tartan/checkered like skirt from Supre last year and only got round to wearing them this year in June. I have had a soft spot of tartan and am still looking for the perfect red/blue checkered shirt. The skirt is of a thick sort of rough material that you can feel the different lines weaving through the pattern. Now, dont be silly. I know it is short, but I wore stockings and boots for winter.

Paired with my dark denimblue ruffled shouldered long sleeve top from Cotton On Body, it is sort of a more relaxed fit given how the top is meant for sleeping. But hey! Just like how Peter Alexander thinks, no one said we can't go out in peejays. Especially cute ones.

Love the colour so much, has that painted feel to it.

And of course, a basic classic black turtleneck NEVER goes wrong with knee high suede black boots.

Here's a close up of the skirt, isn't it pretty?! It wasn't like a bargain on my part but I just wanted it!

So what do you think of the skirt and the outfits? Yay or nay? Perfect for a dinner date or an afternoon lunch date with the girls?

More on boyfriend shirts after my emerald green one in Closet #49. It is also from Supre a couple of years back. I guess when Supre comes out with a certain style, it does it in a wide range of designs and colours and materials.

This one is slightly more classic. White base with white vertical stripes. It just breaks the white monotony even if it is same colour stripes. The fit at XS is better but I also had another at S (white base with black vertical stripes) before I gave it to my cousin who I know will appreciate as much as I do. After all, I do not need to be hoarding so much clothes right?

With black leggings and boots and waistbelt, it really is smart casual for a slightly more important day in school. Or with shorts in summer, or tuck it in with a high waisted skirt for a supe sexy corporate look.

The material here is cotton but slightly stretchy and thick. While the white is somewhat translucent, it is not a result of poor quality. It merely enhances the look somehow. I also think this is one of the more perfect airplane friendly outfits because you can dress it up with different kind of shoes for different looks and also give you maximum comfort and flexibility to move around in.

Alright, so I have been hooked/addicted to Glee, starting right from the beginning. Actually I think it is going to start soon on Channel ten here at 8.30pm. ANYWAY, I thought I should interject some sort of life onto this blog...

One of my first lunch trips down to the city for Tony Roma's with Anna...I wore this emerald green silk boyfriend shirt from Supre.

With black leggings and belted it. Pretty superstar with my Myers sunnies. I love this top so much I brought it back to Singapore and left it to hang out with other favourite clothes. I wore it to work once on Christmas eve with a high waisted skirt. Very chic.

At the train station and a totally posed photo. I did my hair up that day because I was feeling it. I hardly ever do that now though... lost the motivation?

But this one is so not posed, candid shot. But I thought it was really funny. I find boyfriend shirts very flattering and kinda sexy. They are more cut for feminine curves and long enough to wear leggings with if you don't want to tuck it into pants or skirts. They are so smart casual and if done right, corporate ready for the workplace. It really is a winwin for all occasions in your life.

This satin material is lightweight and comfortable under the summer heat. What more can you ask for? Do you have any boyfriend shirts or tailored shirts you literally stole from your dad's or husband's or boyfriend's closet?

Mayy's Closet #47

Hey everyone, how was your Wednesday, mid-week? Gloomy over here and I spent my whole day in front of the telly watching Laguna Beach Season 1. SO motivated eh? Not. Anyway, time for some clothes posting...I will raid my closet on Friday or over the weekend just to see what I don't need no more.

However, the focus of this post will definitely be kept with me forever if I have my way. It is officially Winter here in Perth as well, so let's post more warm outfits eh?

You probably can't see it as clear here but the focus is the black oversized knitted sweater with a cowl neckline from Supre. I got it way back during my first winter here and loved it ever since. This is shot in a quiet part of uni. I always feel quite blessed that I study in such a vast and beautiful campus. Anyway, yes the sweater. It is long enough to wear leggings with and warm enough to wear it on its own or just a tanktop in it. Here, I wore a tanktop in the same shade as my electic blue leggings from Cotton On. Yes, I do realised I quite like the black eyeliner and rock look. Just not too extreme.

Less rock chick, injected a bit more sweet here with the grey beret from Dotti and pink checkered/tartan scarf from Cotton On Body. If it is warmer, lose the boots and wear some pointed flats. Black, blue, sequins, this look is easy to mix and match!

I would say this is my first time wearing the sweater. With white denim shorts and bright blue leggings from Cotton On. Yes, a look I admit is not much for Australia, more Asian/Jap/Taiwan/HK. You can flatten the cowl neckline and wear it more like an off-shoulder.

If it is not yet winter, perhaps autumn or nearing spring, pair it with a short denim skirt and thigh-high/knee length boots.

Or a recent photo of my outfit, with grey skinny jeans and white heels and just wearing the sweater as it is. No layers of tank tops. Gotta wear the cowl neckline strategically though.

It is just a really simple and chic piece that I can wear in so many ways and dress to so many themes. Something for long term. Don't we all love that?

Gloomy gloomy day again, but I saw a rainbow on the way to the gym. Sure gives a wee bit of hope. Anyway, here's something colourful yet subdued if I can be ironic about it.

A babydoll top from Supre Osborne Park. I really cannot remember how much I got it for...either AUD2.50 or AUD5. Yes, they really do have some great sales going on!

Paired it with my electric blue skinny jeans from H&M I got in Hong Kong. At least I think it was the H&M in Hong Kong. I love the colour because it is striking and something different from black or denim. Yet, it is not crazily bright like neon pink or red or something. Still manageable eh? It breaks up the monotony of life and inject some colours. Although I frequently pair it with a black base top...

Photos credits: mayydiaries.blogspot.com
I really like the paint splatter/paint brush prints. It just really come together really nicely. The orange and yellow and green and blue and white brush strokes. An eclectic mix and with the blue skinny jeans, it is a pretty artsy rock sort of look no? I mean with eyeliner and heels and a good tailored blazer with strong shoulders!

So tell me, how would YOU wear this top? Send me your ideas and the best one will win this top! I mean you don't expect me to just buy one of this top when it is at that price and looks this good!

Mayy's Closet #44

Oh happiness, I have submitted all assignments as of Saturday. Had a dinner which I will blog about shortly and then went out with my girlfriends. Unfortunately, it was not the best night out but whatevs, just waiting on the two girls to finish their exams before we can actually start chilling.

Anyway, I am BORED out of my brains so far. Let's blog about something bright and funky then. Just to chase the blues and dreary gloomy mood which mirrored the weather.

Obviously the pink leggings popped here.


Rightey-o, I took this like a couple years back. I still have those clothes don't get me wrong but well, I guess it belonged more in Japan or Taiwan or Hong Kong, this look. The pink leggings are from Cotton On, a Harbourtown buy at AUD10 or 5. White denim shorts which I am certain I blogged about before. The shirt that reads: Daddy's Little Expensive Girl, was a bday gift from sis. I have one in silver (above) and one in gold which I am keeping in Singapore. I love it, the words are too cute. The long cardigan is actually from Cotton On Men's but really I don't care because it was perfect for what I was looking for. Another Harbourtown buy at AUD10. A steal! And the colourful Roxy trucker cap which now belongs to sis.


And the leggings and cardigan again, paired with a basic v-neck white tee with pink and blue words from Cotton On Men's again at AUD2. Yes, you read right, 2 bucks. After all, mens tee are big enough to cover the front and back of the lower half of the body. I mean if you wear leggings, camel toes are just NOT attractive and no one wants to see saggy bottoms. It is just like a RULE to not wear leggings as pants but somehow, some girls are not heeding this advice. Oh wells, to each her own.

A close up of the pink...
A recent outfit with the leggings. Just a very chill day, an off day (Thursdays this sem). I still had to go down to uni so I thought, what the heck. Dad's GA sweater which is now mine *cue evil laughter* And my SF Men's bag. Okay, so I got a slight obsession with Men's stuff but some are really NICE and I like to think I can pull it off. THINK.

And then, I met Shiyu for late night shopping and tried this pretty things on...


Photos credits: mayydiaries.blogspot.com
Shiyu also tried it on. Pretty little things no?! YES! We didnt get it because it costs AUD139 and is not THAT comfortable. But they look great and apparently sold out in Carousel a week later because well, we cannot find it anymore. For those of you who wants these, best you go find the shops in the city or something! Be quick!
