Mayy's Closet #67

While I am at it, let's continue with a seriously crazy outfit idea for a cold winter day. Don't ever try it, I don't know what possessed me. Aside from the fact that I was sleeping over at the girls' place and they said no to my trackies. We had a last minute idea to head down to the Freo markets, great idea but not so great when I dont have my wardrobe with me...

Without further ado, here goes!

I know I know, I had on a scarf, long sleeve shirt.... skirt... leggings? stocking? Nope, didnt had any on. So it was my bare legs facing a battle with the harsh winter wind, even if it was sunny out. And perhaps I wore boots? Nope, I had on ballet flats.

The tartan skirt is from Shiyu's wardrobe and so is the Cotton On scarf. Only the electric blue strong-shouldered long sleeve top was mine. And I got it from the kids section of Best and Less. Who cares, if it fits... it fits.

But I really like the tartan prints here. They somehow match and all go well together for a cute weekend market look! If I do say so myself...

But so not for winter.

I used to have a number of skirts in this style when I was younger and just outgrew them. So wearing this outfit really brought me back to an age when I was more inspired with the Japanese and Taiwanese culture. Dont get me wrong, I admire those looks but somehow, I am different now and my closet speaks for itself. I am still eclectic and multi-personalities (or schizo?) but just not so cute-sy...

Overall, a 6/10 for this look and I don't think I will be repeating it anytime soon.. Maybe when I have a daughter and I can dress her up this way?

What say you? Too young for me? Hahahaa...

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

Mayy's Closet #19

I am so stoked for the cooler weather that is coming up in the later part of this week. So I shall blog about a dress I really liked for such air-cony seasons. It is from Best and Less kids section, and I bought both the pink and yellow. However, I think I gave the yellow one away as a gift and kept the pink for myself. I just wore a black long sleeve top and leggings as the base so the pink dress pops. I really liked the scarf from Cotton On. It gives the look a less girly feel, more edge.

Instead of jelly flats, put on a pair of ivory ankle boots from Jay Jays. A silver-striped black turtleneck to give it a bit of colour. With a ivory cream and gold threads beret (from Ripcurl, I think) which I got from a magazine (Dolly/Girlfriend) again.

Or with a plain black turtleneck top without any other accessories. I liked the very slight folds/tiers at the hem of the dress. I have also tried wearing it as a dress on its own on very hot summer days but it is really a tad too short so I don't wear it as often during summer. I have since donated/given this dress away because well, I must make space for the new stuff. Just like today, I got two new dresses and a blazer from Ally. I miss shopping. Need more time at Carousel, today was just a really short pass through to get my Medicare card done.
