height

Being slightly taller than average in this country (it seems presumptuous to claim that I am "slightly taller"...), I hardly - well, never is a more appropriate word - wear heels. Like, ever. But I decided to try out heels and honestly, I am loving it. Although I am a total mess even with just this 1.5" heel, but progress has to be slow and steady, no? Pretty excited to wear out the other 3.5" pair! I'm such an amateur. Anyway, doesn't this wrap skirt scream 90's? I remember when I was a child I used to have all these wrap skirts and dresses. Well but as they say, old is gold. White skirts are surprisingly hard to match even though it's such a basic colour. End up wearing something overly structured, and the outfit would definitely resemble a school uniform (the horror!). But I will never tire of white anything. Neverrrrrrrrr.

clashing prints

This t-shirt is perfect for the maddeningly sweat-inducing weather of late in Singapore. The fabric is definitely a delight, but what's more amazing is definitely the prints - and a clash of prints at that. It's just so subtle that if you're not noticing, the different print may just slip your eye completely, and that's what I love about this. Personally, I'm not a fan of bold and loud clashing prints as it seems just a tad hyperbolic, but give me all the muted and hidden different prints please! Am loving this clutch/crossbody (I do seem to have a habit of turning crossbody bags into clutches don't I) bag; it reminds me so much of the Jason Wu Daphne cross body bag.... which I sadly cannot afford. Yet.

ripped

It's so hard to find the perfect pair of ripped jeans - the length must not be too short so it can be folded up, but not too long either else the folds would look screwy; the jeans must not be too ripped (I know I know, what a contradiction) and be positioned at the perfect spot; and most importantly the bagginess must be perfect. This pair from ASOS comes almost close to my dream pair. I'm just slightly disgruntled at the fact there is a bit too much rips on this, but for £14 (approx. SGD$28), what more could I ask for? I'm so clumsy though, that I've put my foot through the rips a few times today, and it's only my first wear of this! Eh. If only I were more skillful with anything domestic I would rip my own jeans, but knowing me.. I would probably end up with shorts. And a pair of lopsided shorts at that.

knit

Time to bust out the knits - Singapore has been exceptionally rainy these days; not that I'm complaining! Dug out this pretty old Zara top (bought it sometime back in Feb/March. Time is a scary, scary thing) and loving in it in all new ways. The 3/4 sleeves really provide a new perspective, and the back details as well. Isn't it weird how hard it is to find a pure white knitted top? Not off white, cream or beige, but pure white. Foreseeing myself layering this over denim tops & other shirts soon, that is, if the weather permits. This pair of jeans have also been worn to death, the cropped length provides something just a little bit different. It's all in the details! Awaiting another for another ripped pair from ASOS, cannot wait!

I've noticed that I've been wearing the same pair of flats for the past three posts. Ooops. It's not that I don't have other shoes, but what is more perfect than black flats? I can only think of one answer, and that's black boots. But eh, boots in Singapore equals to lots of staring (which I hate) and hot and sweaty feet. WHO WANTS THAT?

PS, Does anyone face the problem of their bags/clutches furring their knitted tops? I always do and it's infuriating, sad face. Plus I'm such a clumsy person! I'll pray that someone invents an anti-furring knit material soon, if that's even possible!

skorts

A skort: (aka scooter/skant, according to the ever trusty wikipedia) the perfect item this fall. Shorts may be overly casual at times, and skirts are a hassle when you just want to be comfy.. so skorts are def the way to go! Found this alternative pair to the Zara ones that are basically RAMPANT everywhere (rampant is an understatement, imo). Would have been happy to purchase a few more colours but sadly ASOS only stocks red and black. Pairing it with a t-shirt from Zara and I'm good to go! I am loving this (was thinking of getting more colours, OH NO I DIDN'T. Zara should consider giving membership because I have been wholeheartedly contributing to their profit these few weeks) t-shirt; its' subtle mesh provides a more sleek look, and the polyester material is absolutely lovely to touch. T'was sadly a rainy day in the usually sunny Singapore so I had to brave the rain to get these pictures. If there was a fall season here, I would think that it would be my favourite season. Cold enough to keep me happy but not freezing sub-zero temperatures, and oh the pretty golden leaves! One can only dream.

PS, pardon those creases on the skorts! Ain't nobody got time for ironing. Nah, I was just rushing for time. That seems to happen no matter how early I prepare, hmm. Plus I just received them yesterday!
