Backdated OFTDs

Super-duper outdated! I've been committed to discovering old clothes stuck under my pile and am very surprised to find clothes that I never remembered having. Good lord.

Love, Bonito Razzle Dazzle Playsuit in Blue (M) & Jacket from my sister

I remember this piece. It came during the CNY period two years ago and two years ago, M size was too small for me. I needed a L at least. Lost weight and saw Jipaban selling and decided to take a leap of faith. So glad I could fit in it! Florals are amazingly pretty and the fabric looks like it was weaved in a cross-stitch manner. *touches it adoringly*

Her Velvet Vase English Rose Dress in White (L)

I think I may have reviewed this piece before but recently my Mom altered the waist area for me so it's very fitting now! Totally love the cut (and my Mom).

Love, Bonito Gayle Skater Dress in Grey (L)

This is one understated piece. This is the dress I reach out to whenever I do not have the mood to co-ordinate my outfits. When I do not have time to think at night about what I wanna wear the next day, I would reach out for this. The lace overlay causes it to get snagged by sharp objects like crystals on my nails and my bag zippers, but a good thing is that when it does, it's not obvious. Definitely a keeper.

ASOS A|Wear Stud Panel Bodycon Dress (12)

I don't think I need to talk much about this dress. If you are still lemming for it, get it.

Love, Bonito Camilla Corset in Sunshine (L) & Sherwood Shorts in Green (L)

One of my favourite combinations! Love colourful oufits. Tex tells me he misses my presence. I asked him "Is it because you miss seeing a colourful figure lurking around your house?" If you are not comfortable with wearing loud prints with long pants, this is a good compromise. Shorts are without lining but not sheer as the prints are loud enough. I'm quite annoyed by the black band (not elastic) though - wish the prints extended all the way to the waist.

F21 Printed Floral Dress (L) - altered

Love, Bonito Carter Corset in White (L) & Miranda Skirt in Hot Pink (L)

Barbie combi. I like.

Love, Bonito Taffie Top in Violet (L) & Francoise Tulip Skirt in (L)

Love, Bonito Tasmin Tube in Vermillion (L) Cotton On Floral Jeans (12) & Love, Bonito Blanche Blazer in White (M)

Supre Neon Dress in (S)

Got this Supre dress for AUD$5 at their warehouse in Perth! Yay!!! Whenever I wear it, I feel like I am supposed to go diving.. all their material's fault! Hahaha!

Love Bonito Ida Dress in Black (L) & Billowy Chiffon Blouse in Nude (M)

This is worth documenting because I bet no one hardly remembers that Billowy Chiffon Blouse was one of Love, Bonito's favourites! Still kept both colours till this day..

Her Velvet Vase Rosette Blouse in White (M) & F21 Teal Bandage Skirt (L)

H&M Printed Dress (38)

ASOS Graphic Print Dress (12)

Still one of my favourite print dresses to date! Fit is slightly loose for me and it is low-back, recommended to wear stick-on bras.

F21 Peplum Tube in White (S), Uniqlo Ankle Pants in Khaki (70); altered & M(phosis heels (6)

Love the M(phosis heels! Very light-weight and easy to walk with! I got a size smaller than my usual size as the cutting runs big. With size 6, my heels end just a little bit over the back of the shoe but the front strap will definitely expand with long wearing so my feet will slip in forward, hence not much of a hassle.





Nichii Lace Top in Black (L) & Cotton On Jeans in Mine (12)

One of my favourite tops to date because it is so slimming. Was quite skeptical to try on jeans of light colours, thinking that they would make my thighs look fatter than ever but this was just fine when I tried it on in the outlet in Perth. A mad steal for AUD$10. :)

F21 Oversized Blouse & Uniqlo Stretch Capri in Cobalt (L)

This is not the best combi I am proud of. I've seen better ones on myself but I would just like to have a shout-out for this pair of pants! Uniqlo still has it and I trust them for their awesome cutting! Got Cobalt because Black, White and Khaki are boring. This is a fresh new change in my wardrobe. :)

Love, Bonito Dashelle Lace Top in Beryl (M) & Uniqlo Ankle Pants in Black (70)

Zar Basics Tank Top in Black (M) & ASOS Printed Pants (12)

Zara Basics Tank Top in White (M) & F21 Floral Pants (M)

F21 Mesh Dress in Black (M)

 

Love, Bonito Milan Peplum Dress in Fuchsia (L)

Definitely oversized! I hate being in-between sizes and it looked tight on the models so I caved in and got L. It is too big for me around my bust, providing no support at all. What a waste as I really love the hourglass cutting on the dress. Will be letting this dress go for sure.

Smooch Camille & Belle Dress in Black (M)

Need. No. Introduction. I love appliques and this is madddddd pretty but the asymmetrical straps need some getting used to. Sometimes it looks weird to me but I just look down a bit and notice the appliques - a very good distraction. If you are anal about the straps, forget about the dress.

The Closet Lover Kerry Romper in Blue (M)

This print is awesome! Reminded me of old 3D paintings where you had to cross your eyes to see the 3D images embedded within. Hahaha! The length was just nice for me, a little annoyance with the length of rise - I felt that it was a little too short for comfort as I am used to rompers having longer rises for more ease. Other than that, all aspects were good.

Intoxiquette Rainbow Poppies Garden Dress (M)

Awesome colours and fit! Lining was full and M was a perfect fit for me. Definitely brightens up your day if you had a busy day ahead. Colourful prints never, never fail to attract me.

F21 Peplum Top in Black (S) & Cotton On Monochrome Skirt in (M)

Like this look a lot - made me feel like I was out to do something serious - which I am, working (duh!).




Ohvola Dallas Stud Top in Black (M) & Core Women by Robinsons Floral Pants (12)

A fuss-free peplum top to counter my floral pants! Love the fit but some studs were falling off. Had to re-sew them on myself.

Her Velvet Vase Ari Embellished Dress in Cream (M)

Ohvola Olie Tea Frock in Crème (L)

Decided L and glad that I did because the waist area was just nice for me. I do feel that the dress is a little on the short side; would be better for petite girls. Other than that, prints are perfect too!

Zara Tube Top in Black (M) & Love, Bonito Eiffel Pants in Green (L) - altered

Her Velvet Vase Hollywood Glamour Dress in White (M) & Love, Bonito Brique Blazer in Green (M)

Intoxiquette Pearl Dress in White

Taobao Graphic Print Dress (12)

Love, Bonito Carter Corset in White (L), Miranda Skirt in Hot Pink (L) & Taobao Cardigan in Purple

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

Love, Bonito Preston Top in Cobalt (M) & F21 Shorts in Black (L)

Alright, that's all for my mish-mash outfits for the past three months! Do feel free to drop me an email if you've got more questions to ask about the sizing and fit! I'm too lazy to note all details but I will try to answer all questions! :D

Till the next, :)

Long Overdue OFTDs

It's a shame. I know.

Bah.

F21 Lace Dress in Nude (L)

Form is very fitting and you definitely can't wear this if you intend to have a full meal. Lace is pretty firm and I like the sweetheart neck line very much!

Her Velvet Vase Bejou Sequinned Top in Grey (M) & New Look Bandage Skirt in Black (12)

For the top, I was deciding between all the three colours when I finally chose Grey. Christian Grey. Hahaha just kidding. Felt like Grey was one of the classic colours to own and more younger-looking. Black felt too getai-ish and I was worried that nude would fade over time into a disgusting yellow.

The bandage skirt is just.. well, a cotton bandage skirt. So long it doesn't give me 'muffin tops', I'm fine. It was quite a steal from New Look at $12.50 though. :)

F21 Mesh Long-sleeved Dress in Black (M) & Zara belt

I LOVE THIS DRESS! Okay, I love anything mesh. Yes, it is possible to wear this on a hot Singapore sunny day because the mesh is cotton-like and not really polyester-like. Mesh is stretchy and so is the entire dress! With full lining, no less. The mesh part exists only on the sleeves and the bodice is just black material all over. If you're like me who is into mesh dresses, get it!

Love, Bonito Matilde Midi in Black (L)

Wore this dress for our anniversary date! I have this dress in three colours, Black, White and Lavender. Yet to 'open ceremony' the White one yet! Love the classic design but can't help feeling that the pleats makes my figure look fuller than it already is. Oh well.

Peach Top & Zara Shorts in Black (M)

If I remembered correctly, I got this top from Robinsons' at a discount! Love anything mesh and lace!

Her Velvet Vase Mesh Ruched Dress in Black

In case you can't see clearly, the area above the sweetheart neckline is a layer of nude sheer mesh. I love mesh detailing and at a steal of $22 from HVV's website, I would say this piece is jiaktor-ready! The main black ruched body is a little plasticky, reminded me of LB's Oasis Pleated Skirts' material. Definitely not jersey-cotton. Good buy for its price!

Intoxiquette Mesh Pearl Dress in White

This is a very pretty piece! Wore it to the Meet-The-Parents dinner! Fits just nice for me and the mesh area above the sweetheart neckline (yes, again) gives a very dreamy feel. Love the pearl details around the waist band too! The whole dress is very light to wear and another jiaktor-ready piece!

H&M Print Dress (38)

Recently quite in love with dresses that has black panels on the sides as they would make anyone look slimmer! I also like to pick sleeveless dresses where the cuts for the armholes, hold all the way up directly to my shoulder, ie, not cut inwards. Designs like that make my fat arms look smaller and hold my armpit fats in place. I do know that I don't look good in racer tops that are cut inwards as I have a very meaty chest and chubby shoulders hahaha. Pretty good value for $24.95 I would say!

Love, Bonito Victoire Blouse in Bronze-Gold (M) & Uniqlo Capri Pants

This top is a statement piece and I'm thankful that the shoulder pads are not too exaggerating! I had my doubts about getting this top as my shoulders are quite full already but this top adds 'structure' to your entire outfits and smarts you up!

White Blouse from Bangkok & Uniqlo Skirt in Turquoise

Can you believe that this blouse costs only $8? May not be obvious from the photo but the material is mesh and has lace patterns down the center of the front part of the blouse! Mad love this piece! Paired with a Uniqlo skirt that Tex bought for me when he was in exchange in Japan wayyyy before Uniqlo opened in Singapore! I only wore it out that day for the first time, goodness me.

Love, Bonito Thierra Throwover in Malachite (M) & The Velvet Dolls Basis Petticoat in Black

I would say this throwover was an impulse buy because other than pairing it with both TVD's Black and White petticoats, I have no idea how else to wear it out (without going to the beach). Details of the crochet are really pretty though, but I'd rate it pretty low on practicality.

Love, Bonito Helix Peplum Dress in White (L) & Zara Belt

Love the cutting but I felt cheated when the colour actually looked like cream. I thought it was bio-white. Hate it when the photos always look super over-exposed! Zip is extremely smooth and I wish they made more dresses with zips like that! I hate those zips used on Avis Skater Dresses. Torn one already because they refused to zip past the centre sewing. Hahahaha.

Love, Bonito Camelia Corset in White (L) & Eiffel Pants in Green (L)

Pants! Didn't managed to score one during the launch as I forgot about it but found a nice seller for a pretty good deal! Love the prints on it although I think I will get sian of it pretty soon! Cutting is great and material is supppppperrrrrr comfortable. Colleagues think they look like pyjamas pants though.. Hmmm. Basket.

F21 Colour Block Dress in (L)

Dress hangs off loosely because I lost weight! May have put it all back since I came back from Perth, haha. Simple dress for don't-know-what-to-wear-days!

Thanks for reading! I'm so sorry for the lack of updates! Bahhhhhh!
