Outfits misfit.

Update: WAHHHHHHHHH this Blogger scheduling thing really works !!! (this is a scheduled post btw)
Anyway, guess what!!! I am in shock myself. -_- My mom just bought 3 Prada bags! *weeps in joy* One is for her best friend though. But wheee, the Hoe family's bag collection has expanded again wtf. More details on my S'pore buys when I get home k! :)


Because this was bound to happen, haha. Just a walk-through of some outfits that I haven't posted before. :P

They are random pictures since the beginning of the year or so, so you can actually see the transformation of my hairstyles!


Photobucket
It's a kitschy T-shirt dress with this white ruffled bib.

I remember wearing it for lunch with Jac the day before she left. Omg, has it been 4 months plus!!!

Emo. :(



Photobucket
Electric blue pinafore dress with white buttons.


I have since sold this dress-- but I have made a friend along the way!
Crazy girl who stays in the UK and is afraid of bombs hidden in trash cans, HAHAHA.

I wore this outfit to see Ranjitha, my high school best friend, whom I haven't seen for the past 2 years 'cause she left for Ireland. First time seeing my bestie after so long, it was like seeing a first love again ok! :P


Photobucket
Candid picture wiith Jing, who has just bought her Gucci bag that day!

Yes, the bag that Teeny and I chipped in also as part of her b'day present. -_-
Haih, why is my sister so materialistic wtf.



Photobucket
With this vintage-inspired chiffon dress in this very lovely shade of pink/lilac.
But it crinkles so easily though. :(

I do remember that the day I wore this dress, was the day before I went to dye my hair.
This means that it was the last day I had jet black, never-been-dyed-before hair ok! Milestone wtf.


Photobucket
Who said I don't wear my clothes twice ar!

I wore it once before when I sent my parents to the airport after my graduation in Melbourne! I remember holding back tears then. :(((



Photobucket
With my happy green patent platform shoes with wooden heel.

Can you believe it, my boyfriend actually complimented the shoes!! Damn shocking k, 'cause the boyfriend is super conservative in dressing. T__T We are damn un-matching in terms of fashion sense wtf.



And walao, I used to wear dresses so often! -___________-



Photobucket
In this Bettina Liano's white skirt with quite an indecent slit in front, haha.

Can wear for work ar! Then can get promotion quickly HAHAHAHA.



And in case you wonder what do I wear when I go over to the boyfriend's. :P


Photobucket
I found my old Gucci sling, and guess what, I am in love with it again. :D
In a Sass & Bide tank top and paperbag shorts. And Keds. I aim for comfort! Sometimes. :P



Photobucket
I. look. so. unbelievably. like. a. schoolgirl. -__-


Ok, that's all. Hmm, this may sound weird, but I can remember exactly what and when I wore the outfits, and who I was with during that time!!! Actually, I have always been like this- I associate my outfits with the day/outing. Sometimes when the boyfriend asks me, "Hey, do you remember ....", and I will quickly shoot back "What was I wearing!" to jog my memory. Usually if I could remember what my outfit was, I could remember the day's occurings as well. -_-

And I also have a scary ability of remembering people's clothes. I can remember everything that you have ever worn, and how you put them together. In fact, I have friends who call me for fashion advice, because I know their wardrobe better than them! :D :D :D

Haih, I think I am a very scary girl.



Oh, one more outfit-- something I wore really recently:

Photobucket
My new skinnys! :)


Unfortunately, once I start work, I am afraid that it will never see the daylight again. :( It really scares me, dressing for work. I won't call myself a fashionista or anything, but I think it's quite obvious that I adore dressing up, playing with dressing up. And the idea of being restrained by codes and rules and policies (in terms of dressing) scares me. A lot.



Yen the Hairstylist asked me what will I be working as in S'pore...


Me: Oh, I will be in auditing.
Yen: WHAT?? Means business formal???
Me: *nods depressively* Yes...
Yen: SO NOT YOU! SO NOT YOU! SO NOT YOU!

T___T



Last week, my mom and I finally got a set of black suit (blazer + skirt) for me. When I put it on, I nearly cried. It finally seemed real-- the forlorn girl staring back at me, clad in a boring black suit. Its implications not so much refer to what I am going to wear, but what I am in for. Sigh, don't want to talk too much about it. But oh well, guess a black suit is apt, considering the sombre, morbid affair work is.

Omg i'm also so sad ok, for my last semester i have to do several internships for PR companies and i hate office wear! Everything is stiff and boring. And if i'm wearing a skirt i have to wear hosiery ok, even in the summer. T__T

So my ultimate goal is to get a job in fashion PR coz that's the only PR job were you have to wear trendy clothes. Oh and good luck with the job, move and everything!!

katie<3: Haha, I got it from Gold Coast! :) And aww, you mean you got your paperbag skirt (and now bottoms) 'cause of me?? Does it mean I am a fashion inspiration! :D :D :D And haha, I definitely hope I shop much less after I start working. :P


leandra: Yaaa, everything is so stiff and boring! It's like dress shirt after dress shirt.. *stifles yawn* And haihhh, I am damn not used to anything with (long) sleeves-- my inner slut speaking wtf. And ahh, you're damn lucky ok, fashion PR is a viable option for you!! No matter what, I will be stuck in accounting frot he next 3 years at least. :( And thank you, dear, I hope so too. :)


rachel from zimbabwe (-_-"): HAHHAHAHHAHA I still think your full title is DAMN FUNNY HAHAHAHHAHAHAH. Oh! You are working already? In s'pore? Sorry, I am getting confused with my readers who are in s'pore, haha. YAAAA OMG YOU SPOKE MY MIND! That's my plan exactly! I am going to start off safe first, then slowly push the limits, push the limits... But knee length pants are really.. adventurous! But of course, it's damn stylish la. <3 I hope my boss is as open-minded as yours! :D


ally: Haha, no la, that's not bimbotic! I tell you some of my bimbotic thoughts (work-related) next time k. T__T And haih, I am not a suit-type of girl, I am more of a vest-only plus cigarette pants type of girl. :P And WHAT IS THIS, do you think I will dress boring! T___T Hmm, I know which shops you're talking about in S'pore, in fact I just went i today, haha! But I don't really like the stuff there ler, a bit lala. T__T And Edmunser is not really my style too, but I will go take a look. T___T

You're very skinny, that's why you'll look MWAHHH in suits. :P

revel in me said...

raggamuffin: Hahaha why you say that! I never mentioned my buys in this entry also! *shifty eyes* :D


anonymous: WOWWWW what a coincedence!! Means you stay at err Blackburn/wellington (I forgot, haha) and study in Monash Clayton? :P Oh, but I have graduated already though! Have you see me on campus last time ar. T__T


anonymous: Haha where you heard from! :P HMMMM got a lot! Bridge Road, Chapel Street, Camberwell Market (can try Prahran market as well), even Melbourne Central! And Swanston Street... Haha, you can mail me at crescent_masquerade@hotmail.com if you want more info! :)

If you can remember there is a bus stop opposite South East Flat, the 703 bus stop to Clayton town. I live 2 houses away from the bus stop. I stay at Clayton but I study at Caulfield Campus. But then I finished my exam just yesterday and if everything go well, I am graduating as well. But then I will be here to work and applying my PR next month. I don't think I will go back that fast. I will be here for few years to work and if possible might settle down here for good because I more prefer Melbourne than S'pore or M'sia.

By the way, from South East Flat to Camberwell market is very convenient. You can catch 8am bus to the K-Mart at Blackburn Road and the catch tram to Camberwell market. You can reach there before 9.30am. The first 703 bus to Blackburn is 8am for Sunday. Haha... so you can actually easily reach there without going to city and change train =)

Have fun in the kiasu island.

i love dressing up for work la! pretty pencil skirts, nice blouses with ruffles, pretty coats and the whole corporate lady look! not nice meh or am i just weird!

revel in me said...

anonymous: Waahh, your directions so detailed! :))) I hope the other anonymous sees it, it will help her a lot! :D And I wish I read it earlier too, then I would have known how to go down to Camberwell from Clayton itself! T__T Thank you, dear! <3


tzeching: Haha, it's nice, but I like to wear different looks, so just sticking to ONE look is going to be really boring for me. :( Furthermore, auditors have really stringent dress codes-- very neutral shades, very boring cuts. HAIHHHH.

You can always come back here then you will have the chance to go again =)

You make me feel like giving up the idea to apply PR and go back to work in the kiasu land. Maybe because of family and friends back home but I just can't stand the kiasu land's cultures =( Even though I have family in the kiasu land but still I just don't like it there.

I more prefer Melbourne but it seem to be so hard to get jobs here =(

Good luck for your work!
