Scarlet Red Stockings

I had a little dilemma because I didn't really know what to do with my horrendously red stockings. Facehunter proved to be of some help yet again.

This would be the closest colour to my stockings, except a wee bit more scarlet.

I could work with something like this...

And I love, love, love this:

Dowdy secretary with secret life as a *theme music* superhero with a stylish oversized vintage bag that I must steal.

You know I was narrow minded enough to want to pair my red stockings with only black, because I thought that would make it pop without looking clownish.

But the above looks proved red-on-white does not equal Ronald Mcdonald's un-chic, and red-on-red surprisingly doesn't look overbearing. And red on red and white, looks fab.

I think I'm going to try low-key for the rest of my outfits, and then do a red stockings peekaboo.

I had milk tea with supper earlier on, how do I sleep now x_x. I'm watching the Academy Awards now, maybe that'll help?

I WANT.


IF the snake was made from crystals instead of beads. Beads look cheap!
Not that I can afford swarovzski [spelling?] crystals anyway but I'm sure you can find cheap ones around. Right?

Oh, but the snake *drools*

Apologies for the lack of updates! Not that I celebrate Chinese New Year, but it's my mom's birthday! So for the whole weekend I was her personal slave, heh. Loads of fun still.

Now, it's almost customary to wear the colour red during the Chinese New Year season because it's fierce and stuff so represents prosperous things in the year.

But I always prefer looking a little less flashy so I've been making full use of my red shoes, headband and necklace instead.

But of course, don't overload on red accessories unless you want to look like you're trying too hard. As a personal rule I always stick to 2 accessories at most to be safe.
