Mayy's Closet #80

Taking a break from all the food, let's chat about clothes! Just one before I head off to bed. I am seriously knackered and have a long but hopefully good weekend ahead of me.

Just a short focus on the embellished sweater in the photos here. I paired it with jeans but Im sure a short jean skirt will do fine on a spring afternoon.

Worn it with wedges and cropped jeans for a sunday sesh with G and his colleagues in Fremantle's Little Creatures. I forgot my sunnies which was a bit silly especially a sunny day in Aussie.

I liked the slight oversized look and the v-neck on the back which I forgot to take photos of. Its all about the slight details. What I really liked is the colour combination between the tan/sand, gold and blue colours.

Miss my long locks, my hairdresser missed me so much and was too snap-happy with the scissors last Saturday... OKAY OKAY back to sweater.

This sweater proved its versatility once more when I managed to wear it for a day in uni, teaching and studying, and then meeting friends for a night out dinner and karaoke till 3am by adding a touch of blue eyeliner/eyeshadow. Pretty insane and I loved it all the more.

How do you like it? I think it is my little rare gem!

Mayy's Closet #79

When the weather becomes warmed but still remained a tad chill at times, outfit choices can be such a hassle because well, you want it to keep you cool and warm at the same time. A pretty tall order for anything really.

So when I had such a dilemma one day, I decided to go with this outfit.

Jeanskirt and stockings with a electric blue Dotti sweater. Seemingly simple and nothing too special about it... To be honest, while I love the colour and the design of the sweater, the material is pretty shitty and thin. Quite upsetting really but I will deal for the price of AUD9.95.

TA-DAH!
A cowl backless sweater always make the outfit cooler...literally. Like weather/temperature wise.

Im kinda afraid of wearing it too often because I would have to wash it more often and thus increasing the risk of it being too worn out. Sad and boohoo for bad quality clothes.

Now when you see this outfit, you may think it looks familiar. I agree I do have something similar (especially colour-wise)in my closet, but why did I get it?! (besides the fact that I am such a hoarder).

Anyway, I got it because the first one in my closet is from Zara and I do love it to bits. Besides that, I wanted something comfortable and versatile from autumn to winter to spring!

The khaki green cowlneck knit dress is from Supre. While it is not made from the best material around, I wear it quite often because its quite comfy and the easiest thing on lazy days. With leggings, stockings, or on its own. With flats, booties, boots, stilettos. The possibilities are pretty much endless. Add a turtleneck beneath to keep warm, a scarf, a long necklace, a fedora hat, a slingbag, a holdall, a backpack...

I like it so much I went and got a second one, in black! Which I really like. I do have alot of blacks in my closet... Not only is it a cowl neckline, I can stretch the neckline further and have it as a drop-shoulder dress!

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?

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...

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!
