Mayy's Closet #63

Been staring down my clothes for sale page on fb so much so that I haven't been blogging about clothes. Alittle guilty that I neglect this but seriously, my mental wellbeing isn't at its peak. ANYWAY, the body's and brain's refusal to do any form of work for these couple of days have brought me to recover my backlog posts.

This outfit today focuses on the skirt I got from Supre and paired with two simple tops. A short summer skirt but perfect for brightening wintery blues.

I got this pink and white tartan/checkered like skirt from Supre last year and only got round to wearing them this year in June. I have had a soft spot of tartan and am still looking for the perfect red/blue checkered shirt. The skirt is of a thick sort of rough material that you can feel the different lines weaving through the pattern. Now, dont be silly. I know it is short, but I wore stockings and boots for winter.

Paired with my dark denimblue ruffled shouldered long sleeve top from Cotton On Body, it is sort of a more relaxed fit given how the top is meant for sleeping. But hey! Just like how Peter Alexander thinks, no one said we can't go out in peejays. Especially cute ones.

Love the colour so much, has that painted feel to it.

And of course, a basic classic black turtleneck NEVER goes wrong with knee high suede black boots.

Here's a close up of the skirt, isn't it pretty?! It wasn't like a bargain on my part but I just wanted it!

So what do you think of the skirt and the outfits? Yay or nay? Perfect for a dinner date or an afternoon lunch date with the girls?

Mayy's Closet #54

Today has been so blustery and cloudy that I felt sort of down. And it is REALLY cold. Brrrrr. Before I go on to talk about winter days where the sun shines so deceivingly bright but the wind is near unbearable, I had one of my worst nightmares come true today. I locked myself out of my room in my haste to rush out and left my house keys AND car keys in it. AND there was no one home, no spare keys. Oh my god, I am a complete space case. I had managed to make a last minute slot to get something done in the city and just sort ot panicked and wanted to go. Can't believe it. My landlady is just so nice and she came home from wherever she was to open the door for me. And I managed to make my appointments and get my stuff sorted. Phew. It is when you have so much stuff on your mind that you do not think straight and clear.

On days like these when the wind sends chills down your spine and you can feel it in your bones, I find scarves totally helpful. However, being covered every inch of your arms and legs may sometimes still result in you NOT feeling warm.

Here is one classic example of those bright sunny winter days...Then I stepped out of the house to find myself shivering and at the point of no return but to spend the day sort of cold.

My black Roxy embellished long sleeve shirt is from Shanghai, China. Yeah, even in China I had to get a Roxy top. I had a slight obsession then ok. HAHA. White denim skirt and leggings and my fur-trimmed boots. The white scarf, I learnt on that day, was NOT enough to keep me warm. Only those boots managed to keep some part of my body warm. I definitely should have worn another jacket. Maybe I did, but it is two years ago where I actually have time to do my hair in the morning.

Anyway, winter to me is perfect for putting those denim skirts to dual good use. People usually just wear them in summer, but hey! with leggings or stockings... Or without...

So this particular outfit did give my knees a really cold time BUT I just finished watching Laguna Beach and Kristen Cavallari wore a similar outfit in the first episode or second. A black turtleneck with denim skirt and Uggs. Granted, I am not wearing Uggs here but whatever. Looking back, I really don't know how I wore that in season and not become a snowman.

A closet post before I bombard you with more food! This post's main focus is the bright coloured leggings I got from Cotton On. The pink and blue.

Still fairly new in Perth. The skirt with ruffled hem has since been gifted to my ex-housemate because she really liked it. The Roxy layered racerback is still with me but since it was too cold, I added a black turtleneck.


A really relaxed day to uni because it was crunch time I think. Paired with the Gorgio Armani oversized sweater and my classic adidas bag and sneakers.

The pink one with denim shorts and a simple black long sleeve top from Cotton On Body. See, some of their items can be worn out!

With a black tunic minidress from Bugis, layered with a black turtleneck again.

Or wear with flats instead of boots for a spring day.

And with my own-designed oversized hoodie sweater from my JC class and fur-trimmed boots. Yes, very colour coordinated the outfits here. Too Japanese/Asian/loud on hindsight BUT WHATEVS!

I really should be going to sleep but last post for today. A closet post. No not something I wore today although I am happy with today's. Moving along, it is an outfit I wore out to dinner with Charlene and Zhiwei last December at The Silver Spoon. Didn't think I would actually buy and then wear something like this out. But I did and I actually like it. It is my poofy skirt from Dotti, at AUD39.95 I think. Since it was still cold weather/cool breeze, a grey turtleneck from Dotti as well to keep me slightly warm. Nothing too loud for accesories too, given the drama of the skirt. The skirt is made out of nude coral pink ruffled waves, it is not chiffon though.

And I paired it with my Shoestopper #10 since the colour scheme here is really to keep it soft and girly. I would wear it again with a black scoop neck basic top and a different hairstyle. What do you suggest? French braid? I need help with that. Bunned up and chopstick it through? Hmmmm... it needs lighter pinker makeup I suppose. Nothing too edgy here. A wannabe ballerina. Swan Lake anyone?

So do you absolutely love it like I do or hate it because well, it is just too much?

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.
