Mayy's Closet #71

One of my favourite outfits and top in my closet and I have had it for years. I refused to give it up. It takes me through 3 seasons a year and thats saying alot. Truth be told, I think I have a thing for olive green and gold.

I love white pants and I wear them occasionally when the urge gets very very strong. Usually it causes laundry issues because I only do my whites together. So when I wear this, I spend my whole week in a lot of whites (dresses, tops, etc).

This top takes me through work and casual dates. I love it and I feel comfortable in it and to me, the above outfit there is one of my favourite first dates outfits. It makes me feel sexy and stylish. And comfortable. Never wear something new on a first date is one of the best advice a girl can ever listen to. Not new tops dresses pants etc. Bags and accessories are ok. It is really not a time for being adventurous. You want to be able to see if you get along with the other person, not be worrying about your heels or your boobies falling out. (And if you are worrying about your boobies, wrong outfit girlfriend!)

And there you go, a full length of how a teaching outfit is for me. Semi corporate and still casual. I think maybe its all in the heels...

Winter is SUCH a lazy season. Perhaps it is also because I am on vacation mood. I just so need a break. Which is what I am giving myself this weekend. No parties, no dressing up. Just leggings and oversized sweaters and hoodies. If I could leave the house in bathrobe, I would. Sitting on my ass all day in front of the telly in my tubchair, ok LOSER. Whatever. So 'tis the season where no matter how many layers you wear, you still feel cold. So sometimes, I settle for just one since it makes no difference.

And here's one of my favourite winter outfits: an olive green drop-shoulder long knitted sweater from Zara and leggings.

I bought this (four/five) years ago before I even knew I would one day actually be faced with living in a country with four seasons. I bought it in Zara Macau or Hong Kong (I can't remember if it is even in anyone of the named countries) and brought it with me to Japan too. It is so comfortable and warm and chic in my opinion. It is timeless and and I can dress it however I want to. Though usually it is just with leggings and black boots and gold accessories.

It is good for a day out or even a night out. It is a little bodycon-like so I have to push myself to not overeat and have a tummy showing. Wouldn't be a good look here! There are always that few dresses or clothes items you will never give up. This is definitely one of them for me. I wouldn't know what to do if I one day have to retire it. I don't think I will though. It will just be reduced to home-wear at most. I am so glad I stuck to my guns and told my mother I wanted it no matter what. It didn't come cheap, that much I remember but thank god for Mum and Dad's more generous spirits when we go on holidays. There are just some things worth fighting for.

Good afternoon people! How's your weekend coming along? It's a sunny Saturday here in WA and the sun shows no signs of slowing down. Up to 34degreecelsius in the coming days, where the heck is Autumn?!

PODS! I look like I am going overboard but hey kids back home, those were FOR YOU. My usual souvenirs which never fail to make people smile. What flavours do YOU like? Mine is Mint, then Snickers. But I can't stop even if you give me a Mars pack.

ALRIGHT, so this is NOT the topic of this post. We can always deviate on weekends. It is OKAY and even more alright if it is Sunday.

On a hot summer day a year ago, that Cotton On drop-shoulder top that I bought for AUD5 or AUD10 was one I wear constantly to keep cool. I like that it is very versatile and doesn't look like I am not making enough effort. However, the material is really one kind of lousy. Furballs after a couple of washes and the material becomes significantly thinner. Cotton On really do need to work on their quality here.

A rare look for me. I love my trilby hats but I hardly have the patience to style with it. So wearing the top long with leggings, I hope the hat made the look instantly 'cool'. WHAT A POSER. And yeah, that's Jesse, my little darling.

One of my favourite photos taken by Anna. We were in Rottnest Island for the first time, for a leadership camp by CBSplus. I still haven't had any good experiences of Rotto maybe because it is so NOT my kind of thing. However, this trip I made some pretty good friends like LiJia and XX. I like how I can slip on the top over my bikini and head to beach. Put on a pair of short surfshorts or long surfshorts for a day out running and jumping. It doesn't make me look too tomboyish and still a little sexy I hope. LOL. without showing too much.

Till my next closet raid (which wouldn't be long), Mayy xo
