Monoxious Outfit post Overthrown-1 small

Most of the time, the fashion blogger is nothing without her photographer and I thank the universe for a boyfriend that loves me enough to oblige to braving the ridiculous midday sun just so that I can get some photos for the blog. Let’s not forget fellow fashion blogger, Venetia who is always up for squeezing in an outfit shoot whenever we go out.

That and my mum who agreed to alter this Zara top in record time just so that I can wear it out. I can’t believe it only exists in size S, it totally requires a size XS too.

I have also taken to putting on some lip colour with much coaxing from Dawn. I totally see her point about how some colour on the lips totally brightens up the face. I’m wearing some OCC Lip tar in “Stalker”, it looks much darker in the tube or maybe it’s just really bright out when I was wearing it.

Ask me where I would feel most out of place in with this funky hair and I’d probably tell you that it would have to be the gym. Imagine me in my gym gear and running shorts on the elliptical machine. Most people find that sight puzzling and I don’t blame them.

On a side note,it’s been a week and my hair colour is still going strong! I don’t know what kind of hair dye Hairloom uses but the pink and lavender is still pretty vivid.

This weekend outfit was haphazardly shot. I practically dragged Venetia out of H&M while exclaiming that “THERE’S STILL DAYLIGHT.” This pair of Ann Demeulemeester shoes remain one of my most comfortable shoes and I couldn’t be happier to brave Orchard Road on a weekend with them.

  • Blouse: H&M Divided
  • Skirt: H&M
  • Necklace: Lip Service (Japan)
  • Shoes: Ann Demeulemeester

Some clothes need to come with instructional booklets. This Ann Demeulemeester vest been in my possession since 2009 but I still have no idea how to wear it the way the designer intended it to be worn. I just throw it up, let it land on me and tie the strings together. True story.

The goal of the day was to channel some Ann.D with the asymmetrical skirt (circa s/s 2010) and Ann.D lookalike sandal boots from Jeffrey Campbell which is still one of my favorite pair of shoes to date. This pair is in fact my second pair (yes, I bought 2 of the same pair of shoes) cause I wore the first one to death. Let’s hope this pair will last me a couple more years.

I have to admit I was feeling pretty great about the outfit until I saw the photos, I think looked really stumpy. I also hope no one thought I was trying to pull a Jolie that day. Higher heels should fix the stumpy leg problem I hope. My boyfriend has also done me a great favor by keeping my face out of focus, he seems to reallllllly like my Helmut Lang top and necklace (I see what you did there.)

Black Outfit Breakdown:

  • Asymmetrical Bra top: Helmut Lang
  • Draped Vest: Ann Demeulemeester
  • Asymmetrical skirt: Taobao
  • Ann Demeulemeester replica shoes: Jeffrey Campbell for LF stores

Amidst all the work that I’ve managed to do for the last week, I’m surprised I actually managed to find time to shop with Jingna at Woodbury Common last Friday. The first half of the trip involved us being unimpressed with everything and we revisited some stores and bought stuff “just because”. I think we were trying to save our money just in case we saw something better at another store…but we didn’t.

These Chloé sandals were last Spring/Summer. The funny thing is, I actually bought them once at the end-season sale last year but I sold it to a colleague partly cause I wanted to buy another Ann Demeulemeester sandals instead. I couldn’t let it go this time though.

If there’s something I really lack in my wardrobe, it’s sensible belts. I have plenty of thick statement belts but when it comes to finding a proper one to hold my pants up, I don’t have any. This Calvin Klein one is reversible so should the day come where I need a white belt, I have one ready.

While it isn’t THAT warm in New York yet, I have started to stock up on shorts! The scallop hem ones look perfectly cute and I am really falling for the crocheted shorts as well. If I don’t get to wear them while I’m in New York, I think they will still come in useful when I’m back in Singapore. These are both from H&M.
