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?

Tshirts for Work

Remember when I said to want to attempt wearing a tshirt to work and see if I can get away with it? Well.

Debbie Harry tshirt, white fleece cardigan, black satin skirt, nude pumps, red motorcycle bag, Japanese magazine Vivi :).

I kinda cheated. I wore a tshirt, but I formalised it with a cardigan and a black skirt. Whoops. But hey, at least I figured out a way to wear tshirts to work.

The skirt is new, by the way, and I loooove it. It is satin, has nice detailing on it, and has pockets! I love pockets.

And I'm thinking I'm a Japanese magazine convert. I don't understand a word in it [except for the occasional Engrish] but the amount of photos inside makes up for it.

Night, striving to start turning in earlier.

Red, White, and Youth Olympic Hosts!

I'm sick! Again! Boo. My colleague's also down with something, don't know who infected who though :x.

Outfits! Oh yeah, YAY Singapore won the bid for the 2010 youth olympic games! COOL! In support of it, I was determined to wear mostly red. I know, how very patriotically uncool of me -__-.

Light pink Nafnaf top, green paisley print skirt, black cardigan, pointed black flats, red motorcycle bag.

Green blazer, striped dress, ballet flats, red motorcycle.

I even ordered red tights online which came a little too late but it's ok because it's so horrendously scarlet that I don't know what the hell to do with it.

I need more shoes.

Mary Jane my Pumps

I've been extremely busy! Work + driving after work + mandatory meetups with people I must share my work stories with + uni application rush = no time for anything else! In fact I couldn't even clock in enough sleep :(

Meanwhile, I am obsessed with candy-coloured pumps! I'm absolutely enamoured by the shoe collection over at GoJane.

Next on my shoe list: Mary Jane pumps. I need to try them out at stores first though, straps don't look good on everyone (short and stumpy, helloooo.)

My absolute fave; baby pink double strap pumps:

I'm surprised that I like the baby pink, I'm usually more comfortable with brighter and deeper pinks.


By the way, I really like my work: seemingly mundane, but can be very engaging.
Can't wear jeans though. I'm going to push a little and wear a t-shirt tomorrow. I went crazy with tees a while ago and it's a pity if I leave them alone. Anyway, iIt's only my first week, I can afford mistakes.

Purple and Green

I'm the worst daughter ever because I forgot my mom's birthday -___-||. Note to self: buy flowers and cake tomorrow to surprise her.

Anyway, for some reason I was struck with purple and green the past couple of days.

To total chillfest lunch with the girlfriends.

Baggy purple top with green singlet layering, white shorts.

Lazy Saturday out of not knowing what to do. I seriously wish I could pass the coming driving test, then we can venture more inaccessible places. Town is becoming so, so old for us.

Men's V-neck shirt, pencil skirt, orange heels with silver details, new Marni-inspired bag :).

It's been a while since I last wore heels out. I love my sneakers, but my feet needs some good ol' torturing once in a while.
Next on the shopping list: pink, red and green heels.
Or a little metallic purple or snakeskin blue can't hurt either. And one of those mary jane pumps.

My new rings.

My new pair of boots.

I start work tomorrow?! So soon?!
Egad. I have yet to apply for uni and I have less than a week!

No time no time no time.

Missing these times already.

The Week thus Far

I was not lazy with the camera! Photos for the week thus far!

Job interview outfit + new haircut today!
I wanted heavier bangs but the hairdresser said then my hair will look flat or something :(.
By the way I start Monday T_T.

I like this candid shot of me being all girly.

I realise I have worn out my beret and beanies only once.
Sad, really. I should really try to utilise them more.

Creepy place to do a shoot. The lights exactly right above our spot decided to go on and off the moment we parked ourselves there.

Paddle POP! The ultimate childhood lolly ice-cream for me, and the chicken pox best friend.
Yes, the idea of chicken pox is so funny to me that I decided to draw angry red dots on her poxes [if that's the right word]. I'm sure she gets my humour.

We're planning to go on an infection tirade on Valentine's day tomorrow so that couples will be miserable. Yes, we are very bitter singles.

I need to get a nice full-length mirror and another wire basket storage thingy! IKEA!

I'm too lazy to flip through fashion week.

Ooooh and part of the day's shopping loot includes boots! I don't even care if I don't ever wear it out. Though I'm sure I will. Right? Yea of course I will. Hmm.

Happy Year of the Rat!

The past 4 days have been crazy crazy crazy! Work was fun but it was tiring as hell. I've never known work to be as physically tiring as it had been the past weekend. Now I think of escaped animals when I hear crickets and random unidentified sounds.

And now I have tons to catch up on; steamboat, lunches and dinners, wakeboarding session, hair appointments, new dresses to tailor, planning study routes! Oh, and days of doing nothing but bitching with best friends, I miss them all!

Happy Chinese New Year!
