Mayy's Closet #42

Following on from a favourite tee in Prints Seven, I had brought it with me to Perth in the beginning. It is still with me now but I wear it less often. However, here's an outfit for a slightly warmer spring day.

Paired with my white denim shorts and leggings, it was perfect with my transparent jelly flats from Shoestopper #26 and my pink Ripcurl straw bag which has since gone to bag heaven. It is a simple look for a relaxed day, in preparation for summer.

I know how some fasionistas loathe the shorts-leggings combination but I find it appropriate for the unpredictable Spring weather. However, it is just wrong to do the combination in winter. For me, at least. Because well, it just means you can't get over Summer. Just give it up already. Don the jeans and leggings and boots. Leave the shorts at home! But who am I to judge? ;)

Mayy's Closet #12

Hello, it is Monday! Are you part of the majority suffering from Monday blues every week? Well, I am usually looking forward to having something to do and going back to uni...though, it is abit much this semester. Anyhow, something to lift my spirits during my stats class right now...blogging. Photo credits: mayydiaries.blogspot.com
It is going to 33/34 degrees today but this morning when I went out of the house, the wind was blowing hard and cold. Brrrrrrrrrr. Sure do wish it remained like that through the day and I would have to do a wardrobe switch soon! All the coats and leggings and boots. Fun.

BACK to the photo, yet another pair of denim shorts which I got very long ago and I vaguely recall that I MIGHT have gotten it from FOS in Malaysia? It is comfortable though and of a thinner denim material than the Dotti one. It is back in Singapore now and I take it along to me for holidays on cruise or to Bangkok. I really bought it more for the fact that it could fit me and not restrict my thighs. It was a comfort buy!

The top is something a little more different. It is from Roxy girls, so yeah the kids/teens section again. I really like the shade of green and how the white pops against it. The hem of the top is also something different and I liked the crisscross detail on the back of it. I can't post a photo of the back details up because I've lost it and also given this top away so I can't take another one. I paired it with a cropped white cardigan even though it was such a hot January back then. Somehow I could take the heat then. Weird. I've had this top for ages and only really worn it 3/4 times. It looked brand new still when I decided to give it up.

The straw trilby hat is from Billabong, City Beach in Harbourtown. My cousin Celest bought it for me when she was here during a work trip and we went out shopping. I remember wearing it on the day I took this photo and the hat blew off the top of my head when I was walking in uni. Oops and slightly embarassing. Funny though!

Mayy's Closet #11

In keeping with the previous two posts about tie-dye and wedges, here's a recent outfit I wore on Friday for a day in uni.

I knew it was going to be sweltering so I thought I would wear a pair of shorts. I only really have 4 pairs of denim shorts in my wardrobe, 2 here and 2 in Singapore. I don't wear them often because I also can't find many that fit me. This particular cuffed denim shorts is from Dotti and were on sale in Harbourtown. It was during a shopping trip there in Dec 2010 with Charlene and she bought one too. I have been wearing this pair quite abit since I came back. That is quite extraordinary because I could go a whole summer or a year in Singapore without wearing denim shorts! The denim material for this one is actually really really thick and I like the dark denim.

I didn't want to wear flats or sandals that day as I just felt like something different, Hence, the wedges. I thought I look pretty good. Does lengthen my legs and not make me look short and stubby...

That is the top I have chosen to wear for the day. Now, this top is from Australia. It is from the brand Jeanswest and I got it in Melbourne about 5 years ago. I was alot younger then, and really liked this top (trying to act adult). After much convincing, Mummy got it for me. It wasn't cheap either from what I can recall. I wore it once for Chinese New Year and didn't wear it out again till Friday, March 2011. Yes, it set in my wardrobe for that long, shuttled in and out of Singapore but I never really got round to wearing it. I just thought it made me look fat. Maybe it still does but the time was right I guess. I did try it on for a few times but ended up storing back into the wardrobe, never making past the front door. But it finally got its turn!

I just really liked the tie-dye pink colour and the sequinned designs. Abit indian inspired I would say. Which suits me just fine, pile on the indian bangles! It is also made out of a really light and silky smooth material. So yay to finding a new (?) comfortable top in my closet, without having to spend money recently. Haha. Do you know it is also long enough to cover my ass and I can wear leggings with it? Yeah, well when I lose a few stones, I will. Until then, its pairing with denim shorts. I think I used to pair it with jeans or skirts which did nothing but to emphasize my hips further as this top kinda does already...
