Mayy's Closet #58

After all that happy blogging on colours, here's a rather dark post. By dark, I mean black. By black, I mean an all-black outfit.

I have blogged about this Dotti tunic in Closet #50 and usually I just edit the previous post on the same item and update the content. I have decided to blog this outfit under a whole new number because of two items.

Firstly, it is the printed stockings I got from Forever New recently at a steal for AUD9.95. I am devastated that I decided NOT to be a hoarder and buy two when I had the chance. So I am stuck with the one and only.

Second item is the black and white checked fedora or trilby hat I got last year from Sportsgirl at yet another bargain, AUD9.95. It is unbelievable at that price because the hat is made out of the thick suede covered material with gold thread shot through. I love it and this is the first time I have worn it out.

The lighting isn't so good but what you can tell here is that the stockings actually looked like black knee high socks. But well, it isn't. I also really like the little hearts rimmed around the knee. It is something quirky and different from what I would usually wear. But hey, overall with a strong red lip, I am liking this outfit very much.

The whole look is not overly girly and slightly dark and edgy which I usually like to come off as. The stilettos here really complement the stockings, sort of a sexy schoolgirl look. But not overly cutesy. Barf Moving on, the muted gold understated glittery clutch is from Valleygirl at the best price ever, AUD4.95. I mean come on. It is a piece of accessory that looks like a million bucks but doesn't break the bank. It just makes your day better knowing you scored an amazing bargain.

Spoken like a true shopaholic, I should think.

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
