Casual Saturday

I must admit, working on Saturday is a drainer, but keeping it comfy and casual gives it a positive vibe. There is no uniform at my work place, so I've decided to go casual smart on weekends. Typically this is my Saturday work OOTD:

White cable knit skivvy (Uniqlo) - check the link, it's currently on special, really warm and comfy fit

Tanned fitted blazer (H&M) - Bought this in Malaysia and love how it's so fitted to my petite body

Fitted super slim jeans - my favourite jeans are those I find in Vietnam, no alterations required, and this is one of them

Over-sized Coat - this is so "IN" this season, got this on my Taiwan trip at a random street wear shop for $50 AUD, it's my favourite find of the year, it certainly doesn't look and feel cheap.

Vintage black leather belt with gold hardware (Casual Corner) - I've been on the hunt for a good quality thrifty XS belt, and I found this on eBay last year for $20, unfortunately this label has gone bankrupt since 2005 :(  

Vintage Stevens Bag with gold hardware - Made in Australia with genuine leather. A family friend was clearing out her closet (she's in her 60s, hence she's got a lot of vintage stuff), and she gave me this along with other bags. The bag fits all my necessities and wears comfortably to one side; yes also my beloved item at the moment. I like my other bags very much but it weighs me down after carrying them over a long period of time.

Wedged Heels (Nine West​)

'90s Fashion Flashback

I spent my last September Sunday at the Melbourne show and Barwon Head Beach. I opt for something comfy and versatile as it was going to be an eventful day including babysitting duties.

Simple “T” tucked under high wasted distressed shorts from the op shop, Casual Corner vintage belt, Coach runners (I was looking for my pair of worn out Converse Chucks, but someone threw them away cause they thought it was so outdated)…. 90’s flashback

EDGY TRANSITION

Just trying an edgier look to transition from cool to warmer weather since Spring is in the air in Melbourne - hayfever season = spring.

OOTD:

Crop top and dual texture coats are so in this season. I somehow stumbled upon a free TEMT top from my teenage cousin and a free oversized 90's "Miss Sixty" puffy coat with fur lining (very warm). My grandma got a huge bag of old stuff from a friend who wanted to give all her old clothes away, grandma kept some of the warmer clothing and then transferred the rest to the "Salvos", hence this is shared now between me and grandma lol.

I predict bloggers and fashionistas in the Northern hemisphere will sport a lot of the dual textured coats this winter; any material or length jacket incorporated with fur/wool/leather/etc. collar or vice versa will be seen everywhere. And of course oversized coats and funky prints and patterns can't be excluded, or some will stick to sophisticated black and white.

High waisted distressed boyfriend jeans with paint prints - role them up to show some sexy ankles and of course to make them shorter without spending money on hemming... This was purchased from eBay for $15, no-one wanted to bid against me for a pair of ripped up old looking pants, which in my parents opinion looked like a rag. I'm happy with the style and fit, brand new with tag.

Two toned ankle strap sandal heels to give this tom-boyish look a feminine contrast, and to give me some height lol.

TIP:
crop tops are in, suns out, show some skin! cropped tops will make your upper body look shorter (good for people with long backs) + fitted high waisted pants will elongate your legs = change peoples perspective on your body's proportion. Add heels and some feet cleavage, voila you just added more illusive height.

me trying hard to suck it in hahaha...
