Versatility is A State of Mind

With temperatures at a perpetual high on our sunny little island, it's safe to say we wish for cooler temperatures. With the recent haze issue where we feel like being stuck in a slow pressure cooker, breathing in the burnt smell without the view of blue skies, I think we are all pretty happy that we are able to see blue skies again!   

I'm celebrating the return of the blue skies and hot evening sun in this outfit.

I've always liked floral prints and have been looking for a structured and unique tube top.

I was thrilled when I finally found this one from MDS Collections cos I really liked the asymmetrical hemline and the 'V' neckline.

I wanted a clean and sleek look so I paired it with a pair of white culottes and 

I also chose accessories that brought out the rich jewel tones of the top. 

The rich jewel tones of the top, bag and earrings are ♥ ♥ ♥ !

luxurious shade of royal purple! 

I like that this outfit is more versatile than it seems!

It's perfect for a beach holiday by swapping those heels with pretty sandals and the quilted bag for a straw bag and not forgetting the floppy hat to protect our face from the sun.

It's also good for a casual shopping day when paired with some ballerina flats or made more corporate friendly by adding a structured blazer.

The top can also be tucked into a high waist maxi skirt and look like gown for attending weddings.

I'll be sure to try out these outfit ideas soon!

A Little Red Never Hurt Anyone

A little pop of colour never hurt anyone especially if it's RED!

Definitely one of my favourite colours of all time.

I've never been much of a minimalist or 'monochromist' (haha I made up that word)..but

I do dress to my own interpretation of minimalism from time to time.

I'm usually more of a print/pattern person though I do agree that one cannot do without trusty basics.

I appreciate the minimalist style and I really enjoy seeing local fashion icon and fashion designer Yoyo Cao's interpretation of that style through her instagram posts. 

I love that she doesn't only stick to the usual monochrome palatte but injects colour and textures to her outfits while keeping the overall clean and simple lines.

Today, I'm wearing a red eyelash lace dress from New Dress.

What attracted me to it was its square neckline and sleeve details and since I already own quite a number of white and black lace dresses, I decided to try out a red one this time.

For this outfit, I wanted it to be a good mix of tough and girly so I paired it with a pair of black boots. I felt that the flare sleeves lent a bohemian feel to the dress and added a black floppy hat and completed the look with a belt to define the waist.
