I think as a lady, there must be a time where dressing up is necessary. What more, going into the working world requires more dressing up since it makes impression on clients and what nots. I for one, though I don't shop so often and quite dissatisfied most of the time with what's in the stores, likes what I see in fashion spreads and mix and matches. I think they are quite inspiring...until you walk into a store and find that you don't fit that look at all.
So for now, until I've earned enough money to burn some credit, I shall just continue to gaze at these spreads and plan my imaginary wardrobe.
Though, I think that you can never go wrong with: big sunnies, big bags, hats...in other words: accessories. NO matter how limited your wardrobe seem to look, accessories will always bling you up nicely. Bad hair day cured by chic fedoras (I think hats is tops on my fashion wishlist right now, I just simply adore them, not that I have bad hair days though...much), bare hands cured by chunky bracelets/charms, plain shirt detailed by chunky necklaces. And I am glad that accessories are cheap most of the time.
Not to forget, shoes. SHOES are so important. They're the ones that glam or glum your outfit. I used to adore heels (not the 5-inchers) then I started uni and didn't like the idea of breaking my neck walking the stairs, being a little taller on the average side. And it's always safer to drive with flat-soled shoes. So that is one way of keeping my feet away from popping veins but quite limit my options, though there are more flat-soled shoe designs nowadays available (gladiator, anyone?). Somehow heels have a bit of that glam factor. Just that I drive so often I'm lazy to switch shoes all the time. Hmm.
As autumn makes its way into full blossom, so new fashion trends come out.
Here are some of my favorites though I'm not too sure if I'll be able to pull them off. Give me the sunnies, the cap and those bracelet, earrings stuff and maybe I can wow you.
Someone please sponsor me clothes. Especially if I get into the competitions next year. XD

I can't really do tube tops but I love this with the studded details. And that cap.
I think the long sleeve shirt is just awesome for working. Then again, you need that nice silver chain and the skirt...
If I wear dresses often enough, I'd go for this. Hides all the flaws well.
Did I tell you I like big shirts sometimes? They are so comfy. And checkered shirts always rock with jeans. You can make it boyish and feminine in both ways. Great buy.
I LOVE JACKETS. They are like the second on my fashion list or the first...I don't know. I don't bother ranking them. But I love jackets. They are also like hats. Anything unfitting, jacket on! But this leather jacket from Style Berry (Korean brand) is crazy expensive. MYR 994. Genuine leather that's why.
The alternative would be faux leather, like this from Puffy (Taiwanese brand) priced only at MYR 182. But the above jacket is more biker chick whereas this is more street chic. But jackets, faux leather or not, are expensive.
This is not exactly a favorite, but it's cool for casual wear, imo.
I dig the hat. And the long tank. Long shirts like these always look best with shorts and leggings.
Racer back tank tops are still in.
See what I mean by checkered big shirts can be so cool?
I also fancy asymmetrical cuts. This cardigan only look nicer in green though. But yes to the beret.
More jackets. This is lapel-ed. A bit more feminine than regular cuts.
As a rule, I hate harem pants or cropped baggy pants but this cropped pants doesn't look bad at all, as long it's coupled with the right top and heels. Must wear heels. Either that or go for peep-toes or gladiators. It's not for the girly feminine type.
Recently, I also started liking hoodies. Again, dig the cap.
This top has been in fashion for so long. I've seen it so many times and looks like it's not dead. But I haven't try one yet. This top, imo, is not an easy top to wear. No defined shoulders and the whole thing look like some misshapen bag. But this top has a V neck, so it's still quite alright.
Same thing. I want to try a top like this though. See how far it can take me. Love the two colored scheme. Haven't seen it for a while.
I like this top though not so much the sleeves. Black is a better color than white. Dig the fedora.
White color makes it look a little too angelic, a little bride-like-puffy at the sleeves. This top is made of chiffon I think.
Ah, the batwing sleeve top that you can wear over almost anything. I want one so I don't need to fret when I want to wear spaghetti straps or halter tops and not catch a cold at the same time. This is made from cotton or polyester. Stuff that is easy to maintain, rather than the chiffon and knitted tops.
I thought this two piece looks very professional. I like the jacket (not so much the color), but take away the jacket and I bleh at the dress.
More jackets! :)
