Mayy's Closet #52

Good evening people! How's all your Sundays going? Westfield Carousel is open today for telethon and some shops have special one-day only sales. Not that I made use of them because the things I wanted were not in stock and the things I bought were already on sale. Ohhhhhh boy. So after spending my 10am to 3pm today in the mall, I thought it appropriate to blog about clothes.

A black and white striped mid-calves maxi dress with scoop neck and 3/4 sleeves.

I bought this in Bugis and it comes with the brown woven belt for only SGD12 or was it SGD15? Whatever it is, I love it. These vertical stripes don't make me look fat somehow. In my opinion. Phew. The material is too thick for summer though. That's why I brought it over here to Perth. Together with a stained red lip and light black eyeliner, it is a simple yet special dress.

I guess if I wore a black tailored jacket/coat here with Shoestopper #1, it would qualify for corporate wear too. Love dresses with so many options!

And for a lunch/day date with the girls, my favourite white Schu stilettos in Shoestopper #33.

With a red beret and my navyblue Longchamp Le Pilage bag with the Eiffel Tower print, I thought it was perfect for a day out in France. It is wishful thinking though, perhaps one day soon eh.

French chic or demure chic? I think this comfortable dress is sweet and feminine in its own right. How else would you dress it up?

Till my next closet raid, Mayy xo

Mayy's Closet #50

It is the weekend again and I still am NOT done with my report for my supervisors. Oops. Nevermind that, at least I finished marking papers. Phew and totally satisfied my laksa craving yesterday. Now my tummy can move along already!

Had a buffet lunch at the Atrium with the honours bunch and Jeanette on the first Monday of our break. Lunch affairs such as wedding or at nice places always gets me. I mean if it is summer and I know my girlfriends will be there, maxidresses are just the no-brainer go to outfits! However, it is winter and I know this bunch don't really dress up. So it was hard for me to decide...

I eventually decided on this new Dotti tunic/dress I got from a recent sale AUD19.95. A steal really because it is so simple and and yet when you put it on, you know you will never go wrong!

A little gold-rimmed button on a small breast pocket. It looks like it is too thin for winter but let me tell you, it is so warm on! Breaking the black monotony, I put on my new red beret from Dangerfield at Myers AUD9. I also put on my new black/leopard print booties from Love Couture. More on it next time eh!

And my black quilted clutch is always perfect for most of my outfits. It is huge enough for my wallet and anything else I wanna throw in. If it was a night event, I could wear black stockings (patterned or not) with it, a gold clutch and black stilettos.

Trying on leopard print stilettos at Forever New. Really wanted to get it but Shiyu kept saying I can't. Sighs. Sportsgirl also had a really nice version too...

Trying on leopard print fur coats! Really loved this one from Forever New.

Or this one from Bardot? I also found a short cropped one at Dotti but somehow, I could not justify owning one yet. Maybe because my heart belongs to the Forever New one which is so expensive...SIGHS. Which one would you get though? Or do you think it is a short-lived trend? Though I must point out, I always love leopard prints. It is just that now, the fashion world decided it is a trend so there is alot of it to go round...Pfffffft.

Till my next closet raid, Mayy xo

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?

Till my next closet raid, Mayy xo
