My Stuff: Maroon Mini

I’ve had this ruffly floral top from the H&M Garden Collection for more than half a year and I’ve only worn it twice. The last time I photographed myself wearing it was on 24 November 2011 (see this post)

So anyway for the longest time, I haven’t had much inspiration and couldn’t figure out how to wear it without looking frumpy. I haven’t had the heart to give it away or throw it out and was hoping for a miracle.

I found this cut-tag maroon miniskirt for a real steal at S$12 when browsing through a small neighbourhood shop today. What do you think? It works right? What should I pair it with? (Duh! What a dumb question… what else but my everyday staple, the black ballet flats?)

Because I had no one around, these blurry pictures were taken with PhotoBooth on my MacBook.

Fat-shionista: My Style

I think fashion and me, we’re a joke. I don’t follow fashion, I don’t get it and fashionable things never fit me. Can’t really say I’m stylish either but I suppose I have my own.

If I had to describe it, I’d have to say eclectic, quirky and maybe bordering on costumey.

I love mass market brands as much as I love handmade, as much as I love vintage. I’m not a snob that way and neither am I worried about being labelled or pigeon-holed. Feel free to call me a hipster/clown/bag lady/disaster, I don’t care.

I like leggings more than I like jeans or trousers. I know I can definitely do bright colours. I love accessories. I am round and lumpy but I refuse to use painful control underwear to enhance my silhouette. I am more often than not, a bargain hunter. I am also mindful not to wear anything in season because I am afraid someone else might wear it better than I do (and they also do anyway). Hence… the madness that is below:

Top: Black band t-shirt from John Butler Trio

Bottom: Silver tailored shorts from Clockhouse

Accessories: Gold dangling earrings from ALDO; Black leather belt with black round rivets from NEW LOOK; Black bag with neon piping from PRIMARK

It’s been so hot here lately and I often work outdoors, hence the shorts. Tailored, cuff-hem shorts are great! I think it lends my casual outfit some level of smartness! I own 3 pairs now!

Thanks Isis for taking these photos of me!
