Massive OFTDs!

Inclusive of ROM and CNY outfits!


Cotton Tee from Uniqlo (M) & Pinafore Dress from Bangkok

Love all my basics from Uniqlo. I tend to prefer ribbed cotton tees over lycra tees as I feel that they are more comfortable and absorbent in perspiration. Got a cutesy pinafore dress in Bangkok one year ago and only wore it one year later. Totally not my style! #evidencethatimpulsepurchasesexist


ASOS Embellished Dress in Peach (12)

Bought it without imagining it to be my solemnisation dress but turned out it fitted the theme perfectly! Needed a new dress without hurting my pocket too much so I turned to my wardrobe for rescue. Found this piece of gem, embellished with pearls at waistband area. Got it in UK 12 but I altered the waist to be more fitting. Material is stretchy and design is waved and bodycon. At a very pocket-friendly price of €19!



Love, Bonito Camelia Corset in Sunshine (L) & Topshop Tweed Skirt (10)

For one of the work days. The topshop tweed skirt is a very versatile piece that can be paired easily! Material is stretchy and I sized down for a more fitting sit on the waist.


Love, Bonito Dashielle Lace Top in Beryl (M) & Uniqlo Fitted Ankle Pants in White (67)

Always loved the Beryl / Mint + White combination so this comes as no surprise! Top is fully lined while outer layer is chiffon and lace. Very comfortable piece to wear during hot days! I swear by the ankle length pants from Uniqlo. Very slim cutting and thick material for white colour! I have the same pants in black and khaki as well!


Love, Bonito Taffie Top in Neon Green & F21 Leather Strip Pencil Skirt (M)

No more reviews need on the Taffie Top, I think it's reviewed to death. As for the F21 skirt, the material is thick and mad stretchy! Anyone thinking of a good work pencil skirt with a little twist to the normal designs, please hunt this down!!


Love, Bonito Camelia Corset in White (L) & Robinsons Core Women Floral Pants (12)

CNY Day One outfit! Decided to wear pants for a change this year instead of the usual dresses. Love love love the pants! Retailing at $79 but I had $60 worth of vouchers so I paid $19 for it. Material is satin-like but does not seem to snag easily. Very vibrant prints!


Love, Bonito Waverly Dress (M)

CNY Day Two outfit! Bought this off a reseller and I must say it's really an outstanding piece. I thought cut-in designs wouldn't suit broad shoulders like mine but it didn't turn out to be so bad after all. Got it in M, very courageous of me. Love the cutting of the waist which accentuates curves!


Smooch Camilla & Belle Dress in Black (M)

The moment I saw the preview, I fell in love with this dress! Was considering between Black or White but figured that I preferred Black. Okay, I revise. I was actually considering ALL colours. M fitted me perfectly. Not too tight for hips but the odd strap needs some getting used to - tends to fall off my shoulder but the appliques made up for the mafan-ness!


Zara Basic Tank in White (M) & ASOS Petite Winter Floral Pants (12)

Flight wear! The Zara tank top needs no introduction. If you don't have it.. well go get it! The pair of floral pants is a wonderful addition to my collection. Reminds me of erm.. winter holidays when I look at it. Makes sense? Sizing wise, got it in 12 as it is from the Petite collection but it definitely felt like I could fit in 10. Stretchy and thick enough for weather ranging around 18-24 degrees.


Amber Avenue Floral Toga Dress

Perfect dress for summer but I am not a big fan of hi-low dresses. Got it during a flash sale and wore it for the first time =/ Impulse purchase, yes, but I'm taking a liking to the colours splash!


Love, Bonito Taffie Top in Black (L) & Temt Floral Peplum Skirt (M)

Just want to share this brand from Perth to all! Temt is this really affordable brand that I discovered during my past few visits to Perth and some of their knitwear or dresses are priced at AUD$14.95! Coming from a country where shopping is errrrrr, unexciting. The floral peplum skirt is made of thick quality fabric! Do visit them if you are in Australia!


G2000 Work Shirt (40) & Robinsons Core Women Floral Pants (12)

See above review for pants!


Lace Peplum Tube Top & Uniqlo Fitted Ankle Pants in Black (70)

Found a nice shop in Far East Plaza Level three selling pretty cute apparels and got the lace peplum tube top for $25.90! Comes with anti-slips at bust and hidden backzip. Remember what I said about the Uniqlo Ankle Pants? Yeap these are the black ones and they are a size bigger than the white ones I have. Have also asked my mum to taper the legs of the pants as I've lost weight and would like them to be more fitting for a slimmer silhouette.


F21 Chain Dress in Black (M)

A very normal design for work! M runs big and this was taken before my mum nipped in the waist for me. Size down if you are ordering! Material is heavy and sturdy and does not crumple. So far, metal parts have not rusted after washing.


Temt Knit Dress in Burgundy (L)

Another AUD$14.95 score! Got it in Forest too. Hee. Three-quarters sleeves and ends at a nice length for work!


F21 Cape Top in Cream (M) & Smooch Pearlesque Velvet Skirt in (M)

Mad love the skirt! Looks really luxe with the pearls and fake diamantes embellishments alongside with the velvet material. Very heavy piece with intricate details! I'm having mindblocks about matching them though..


Love, Bonito Hanley Crochet Top in Beryl (M) & Miranda Skirt in White (L)

This top may look matronly because of the crochet details but I still love it nonetheless. Fully lined with a size zip. Material used is sturdy and does not fur.


Victoria's Secret Tube Dress in Red

Super super super old VS dress. Who still buys overpriced clothes from Victoria's Secret when there are so many blogshops around?


Zara Ruched Sleeved Top in Black (M) & ASOS Petite Floral Pants (12)

Shall not comment much on the overworn Ruched Sleeved Top from Zara. Please buy the pants! The prints are really lovely and colourful! You will definitely like it if you love colours like me! Fit slightly runs big and you may choose to size down if you are confident. Take note that length ends at ankle, not sole.


Her Velvet Vase Floral Denim Bustier Dress in Light Blue (L)

An old piece from HVV. Lost weight hence this piece isn't as fitting as before! Good for a casual day out!

Aaaah, overdose from OFTDs yet? Hahaha! Thanks for checking back every other day, y'all!

Till the next! :)

More Reviews!!

Taking time off from lunch to review some items!


Love, Bonito Tazelle Tank in White (L) & Her Velvet Vase Moxie Floral Denim Shorts in Light Blue/Pink Florals (L)

The Tazelle Tank has been reviewed to death! Got it from another seller quite a while back and only wore it recently. I don't think white is sheer but I'd wear a nude-coloured bra underneath it. Eyelet details are really pretty! I don't tuck in the top that much so I don't have the problem of the details very scratchy to the skin. However, I have too many white tops hence am intending to let this go. Haiiiii, only wore once since I bought it. Crazy waste money me. :(


Lilypirates Evening Primrose Dress in Black Floral (L)

Saw it at KissJane and totally missed the launch! Emailed Lilypirates and managed to get a piece! Love the florals as it brightens up my day very easily. It's a very easy-to-wear and comfortable squiggly dress! First buy from Lilypirates and I'm very happy with the quality!


Amber Avenue Anya Lace Blouse in White (L), Zara Basic Spaghetti in Cream (M), Love, Bonito Dalton Skirt in Dark Khaki (L) and weaved belt from Love, Bonito Ariella Lace Dress

This lace top is a pleasure to wear! Although it has the potential to get snagged on sharp items easily, the lace is very smooth and not scratchy at all! I did try it with just a nude bra and it looks fine if you're daring enough. Wore a camisole underneath as I was going to work.

The Dalton Skirt is a staple for me. Very easy to match with monochrome tops! As you can see, I got lazy with ironing the skirt as well. =X Oh just remembered that the skirt came with a black belt of decent quality. Have this in Black too, letting it go because I prefer the Dark Khaki one!



Love, Bonito Tiffany Tube in Fuchsia (L) and Love, Bonito Francoise Tulip Skirt (L)

Mad love the colour! Adds a pop to any dull-coloured outerwear. L size for the tubes is just nice for me as they do not squeeze my armpit fats and are thankfully very forgiving to my tummy. :)

Yes yes yes I love the prints. Own the Brique Blazer and Brixton Dress as well. L size sits on my mid-waist. I figure I can fit M to sit on my waist but as this skirt is tulip-shaped and short, I didn't mind it being slightly looser. Definitely keeping this piece for a while! :)

Thanks for reading!!

Weekdays Outfits

Feeling lonely at work because my partner has gone on leave. GOLD COASTTTT, babeh! Nevertheless, tried to cheer myself up with new clothes heeee.

Amber Avenue Eyelet Pleated Dress in Creme

This dress is.. really thick. I think it added another inch to my waist. The lining is crazily thick and at some point during the day, I felt rather warm in it. The eyelet details are intricately done but they do feel a little scratchy. Well, I don't think I can complain much about it since I got it from the flash sale at $17.50, or was it $17.90? Can't remember. Have to use the sash though, if not it would be utterly shapeless.

Padini black chiffon top, Zara Basic Spaghetti top in Black, H&M weaved belt in Neon Yellow, Uniqlo Ankle Length Slim-cut Pants in Black, Nine West Barbe Pumps in Dark Bronze and Love, Bonito Brique Blazer in Green

Yes, I chose an all-black outfit to match the blazer again. I can't say anything more about the colours. Really, really adore the splash of colours. My Uniqlo pants is really too loose now. I prefer my pants to be tight-fitting and well-cut. :(

Looking forward to another weekend full of love! :D
