I am very into rose prints nowadays. Rose prints look so nice and vintage that I adore them so much. What can I do? Even my Google Chrome theme is rose print!

Well, honestly, not everyone likes rose prints. Some think it looks old and some might even think it looks very outdated. But, for me, it’s something very pleasant to look at and gentle for a girl to wear them. Nevermind about the old-fashion idea, rose prints are just brilliant!

I think a purple cardigan goes superbly well with this dress! (The dress is 1 size smaller than the previous pic above)

This dress that I tried on is a very simple one. Nothing very fancy about its material because it’s very cheap. I decided to buy it because I love how simple it looks and it’s not a see-through. The size 12 I bought is supposed to be just nice but, it seems to be quite big on me. Maybe that’s how it’s design is supposed to be? Whatever, I love it.

So I bought this dress to wear to work. It looks nice on me when I wore it in the dressing room and checked out myself. But now, when I tried at home and look at it at a different angle, the dress looks different.

So what do you see in this dress? Suitable for work? I think it is but I  have not seen anyone at work wearing a dress like this. I forgot the brand and the shop’s name but I know I bought it at dressmart. By the way, it was on sale so the price is $39. Before, it was $79. Not sure of the original original price.

Sorry, I meant to put these put earlier on. Bought it during a week before Christmas. So yeah, it was my Christmas present. Not exactly good to go for swimming in the pool or the beach. Just purely for showing off the bits, I guess. =P

Bought it from Glassons with 2 for $30.

I got this jacket from mum as well. I don’t know the price and where it was bought from. It’s really nice of my mum to send it for me and looking out nice clothes for me. She understands the fact that it’s better to buy your clothes from outside the country and not wearing the same kind of clothes with others/strangers when walking around the mall or university. I find it a little embarrassing though and definitely more embarrassing if a young girl walking around wearing the same clothes as you are and shouting to the mother that I am wearing her clothes. (Sorry for the messy background, photo was taken a long time ago)

I got asked to become someone’s bridemaid once again. Wait… actually, I got another invitation last night. That means I will be bridemaid for three weddings in the time period of less than one month. I think there is a saying about if become bridemaid for more than 3 times, one will never get married? But I am not the maid of honour so should be alright, right? Haha…

Anyways, for Klaus & Elaine’s wedding, Elaine has asked the bridemaids to wear all white. I have a very limited choice of dresses in my wardrobe. To be honest, I rarely buy dresses and my most recent purchase is earlier this year during my KL shopping trip. Then, I got a really nice dress from Irene’s wedding – sponsored by Irene. So, basically means that I am not a dress person. A white dress is a challenge to me.

I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find any white dress. Worst case scenario is that I will just wear something white from my wardrobe but wait! I dont think I have anything white in my wardrobe 

Thankfully, during the cousins’ outing, we managed to find me a white dress. I initially thought that it is a bit too sweet and informal… ’cause of the way the straps are tied on the shoulder (refer middle pic). But it turns out pretty alright if the strap is tied to the back of the neck.

You need a nice kind of jacket to put on for the spring season. Wear with shorts or mini-skirt and nice looking tops. That’s what I would do. I don’t think it’s nice if you’re wearing jeans. Sherp brought it back for me. So I don’t know how much the jacket cost.

=)

I always seem to have difficulty in choosing a good title for my posts. Anyway, this dress was on sale in Jay Jays for $10 so I decided to go for it. I sort of have a goal for myself that I would wear dress or skirt more often, this meant that I need to wear tights more often too.

During the summer, I would just wear the dress without the long sleeve. But since it’s the winter, yea.. wear the long sleeve with it.

As I mentioned, the price is $10 in Jay Jays, New Zealand.

Do you remember those Thai stalls set up in concourses of shopping malls selling all sorts of apparels? They always have got those long skirts with all sorts of prints. My mum got one the previous trip she went to Shah Alam. Having in mind that we are all shorties in the family, I thought of an idea to turn it into a dress instead.

Coupled with a belt and a cropped jacket to create the ’sleeves’ illusion, I think it looks like a dress, after all. It would have been better if the belt is replaced with a elastic clincher for better grasp. You can create an empire waistline or the usual waistline definition. It is really up to your own creativity.

As for the footwear, I opted a vintage-looking peep-toe. It really is antic. According to my mum, the shoes are nearly 20 years old! My grandmother bought it and look how lasting it is.

Fashion Practicalities

One would not wear a dress made of newspaper out to town, would you?

But what if it has become the top trend fashion of the year, I’m pretty sure there will be no hesitations. This particular Little Newspaper Dress: Paper Kimono, has been made carefully, making sure the newspaper is as soft as cloth material, molding the body shape of the model. The main attraction is the bow at the back of the kimono dress!

But best of all, it is recyclable! Let’s do our environment a favour, yes?

Tube dressed or spaghetti-strapped ones do not fit me, so I opt for a halter-neck variety. Black, on the other hand, is a common colour which is a timeless classic. You can hardly go wrong with black.

I edited the photo to allow the details of the dress to be seen more clearly. It is quite hard to snap a good picture of a black apparel. Everything seems like a splat of black. Bad lighting.

This dress has a collar for a smart image. The front line buttons create a formal look. The vertical pleats give a slimming effect altogether. I think this dress works well with smart casual ocassions. Just a tip though – you may want to iron off the creases to give a better impression of yourself in a little black dress.
