February 2018 Look Book
Skirts, dresses, pants, blazers – I like to wear them all! Here’s sharing some of my looks from February, an eventful month with an eventful month with Valentine’s Day, Chinese New Year Celebrations, and hectic work travels.
Wearing soft pastel colors with this crop top from Platinum
Mall in Bangkok and this lavender pleated skirt from Morning Lavender. I love this online store for its feminine, girly pieces. The store does offer international shipping. The pink tassel earrings add a pop of color to the otherwise monotone
colors going on in this outfit.
A work trip to Penang saw me wearing this white Dressabelle
top with a front-tie bow (worn last month in a more casual setting) with a
pleated print skirt I bought from Hong Kong a long time ago. The Michael Kors
work bag is roomy and perfect for carrying tons of stuff. See me posing in
front of one of the famous Earnest Zakarverich murals of Penang?
This puffed sleeve top says high-fashion but the price tag
is that from H&M. Looking expensive at an affordable price - Winning!
I didn’t expect this look to be so popular. Many of you
commented on my Instastories as this being your favorite look from February. I
love this oversize blazer from ___ and the purple tank top is something I
bought 4 years ago from Macy’s in New York when I was pregnant. You never know
how certain pieces can last forever in your closet! Oh and say hi to my furry
friend, the Furla bag.
Global Desi is an awesome website for getting ethnic Indian and fusion wear at an affordable price range. This dress is something I
bought over a year ago but couldn’t wear much because I got pregnant!
So the dress sat quietly and patiently in my closet for the day I could wear it
again (let me tell you, there are many others like this in my closet and I’m hoping to get back
to my pre-baby weight to wear them again!).
I like to mix high and low fashion pieces together. This
summery skirt with pockets and the gingham top is from Iora, a Singapore store
with a range of everyday closet essentials at an
affordable price.
I fell in love with this fringe top the moment I saw it in
Club Monaco. Luckily the store is having sales and this piece (also available
in different colors) can be purchased at a discounted price even now.
Lastly, for a Valentine’s Day look, I got this red top with
cut-out sleeves and bows from Iora (again!). The midi-length black skirt is
from Mango, so super versatile for work and other dressy occasions. The clutch is from a local Singapore boutique, Photophactory, which makes beautiful vivid designs using the famous facades and landscapes of this city. Definitely check them out on Instagram at @photophactory.
