a more cheery monday

I look like a bumble bee. I steer clear of horizontal stripes as much as possible (though me thinks guys in strippy rugby shirts are sexy). But when opportunity presents me a cute playsuit at a ridiculously 90%-off sale... I give it a try.

Is it supposed to be a drop-crotch? I'm still figuring.

neon *argh*

Last weekend saw me prancing around the shoe store at Le Meridien. Its Dr. Martens are going at a 15%-20% sale. I stood afixed in front of a pair of white 8-eye patent boots. I'm still counting the loose coins in my piggy bank.




Meanwhile, Front Row @ Ann Siang Hill is bringing the UK edition of neon Dr. Mars.

Argh... Stop giving me more choices!

uniqlo's belt debut

And in retrospect, I wished I had worn knee-high boots instead. Very equestrian I know. =D

White Knitted Top: GG>5
Pleated Skirt: Don't remember...
Double-Buckle Belt: Uniqlo, Shanghai
Patent Heels with Gold Buckle Details: Shoe Loft

I've never found the right clothes match this gorgeous belt on. Everything seems awkward with this belt. But now with the high-waist swashy skirt trend, this belt comes in handy after all!

It's been a long two years since I purchased the belt from Uniqlo from one of my trips to Shanghai. I wandered through the stores for an hour or so and found absolutely nothing that impresses me. (Maybe I don't dig its T-shirts or it's a relatively new store without much variety) Then I saw the belt hanging off a rack in a quiet corner and I blew SG$35 at the snap of the fingers.
