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! :)

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!

OFTDs

Been so caught up with the travelogues, I've neglected the outfit posts!

Love, Bonito Carrigan Dress in Cream (L)

Yes yes, grave mistake of buying L size for this piece. I should be able to fit M. This dress is a good piece to wear if you feel fat or have nothing to wear on weekends! Crochet details are firm and sturdy; a rather simple dress to own!

ASOS Textured Dress PETITE in Black (12)

Thankfully I carted out in size 12! Fits me like a glove and love the christmas-sy feel from the textures! Great piece to wear for work and definitely shows off your curves subtlely.

F21 Floral Dress in Black (L)

A casual floral dress I wore during one of the weekdays when I went on leave.

Her Velvet Vase Ari Embellished Dress in Cream (M)

Yes! I got M in a light colour! God knows how much confidence I needed to do that. Always thought I'm a L and got so many apparels in L before many commented that I should start taking M. T.T

First of all, it was a perfect hit and fit for me. The embellishments were not scratchy at all and added a nice corporate touch to it. Also, the material used was thick and it wasn't sheer for me. I do wish the length was slightly longer though, an inch would be good.

Love, Bonito Cassidy Corset in Cream (M) & Miranda Skirt in White (L)

I thought this was quite a classy combination! :D

Love, Bonito Brique Blazer in Green (M), Tasmin Tube in Violet (L) & Esprit black pants

Haiiiii, the violet tube was too loose for me. Gotta get my mum to help me tighten it to fit my shrinking bust area!

Love, Bonito Camilla Corset in White (L) & F21 Teal bandage skirt (L)

A clean combi for a casual Friday!

That's all for today! Thanks for reading! :)

OFTDs October!

Long long hiatus for my OFTDs!

Love, Bonito Camilia Corset in Sunshine (L) & Love, Bonito Dalton Skirt in Black (L)

I adore this top! Brightens any outfit but I hate the back zip, especially when it is a metal one. Initially size L was really tight for me around my rib cage; I felt that I almost couldn't breathe. Put it away for a while and finally decided to wear it again when I lost more weight. It was definitely much better this time round. Extremely form-fitting; good for girls who want that lil' bit more curves!

ASOS Bodycon Dress in Photographic Floral Print (12)

Needs a stick-on bra for this number. Tried wearing with a strapless bra but ended up pulling it up the whole day. I adore the slimming effect of the black panels by the side and the back-design! The vibrant colours also made up for a boring Wednesday mid-week! Definitely a happy buy for me!

Love, Bonito Ledea Dress in Periwinkle (L)

Wore it for my best friend's wedding and one hour into it, I regretted it - size L was too loose for me! Even with the anti-slip bust aids, I had to pull it up very often, hai. Will be letting this go and scout for size M instead! I love the colour - it's a very calming blue!

Floral Print Dress in Turquoise (L)

One of my favourite casual printed sundress! Very comfortable and flowy. Got it at Isetan many years ago when online shopping still wasn't popular. Haha!

Scallop tank from Bangkok & Her Velvet Vase Tijon Leather Skirt in Black (L)

100 baht tank tops really worked for me. I got it in 8 colours in total hahahahaha.

The leather skirt from HVV is awesome but it can get quite warm in our local weather. L size allows me to wear it high-waisted. However, the skirt 'turns' itself when I walk and my bag brushes against it so it can get quite irritating to constantly check and 'turn' it back. Hahaha.

Love, Bonito Radford Romper in Purple (L), belt from Love, Bonito's Fabrienne Frock

Got it from restocks! I expected the material to be thin but it was surprisingly thicker than what I expected! Comes fully lined, no zips, button closure. A very easy piece to wear for weekends and hot weather! Definitely a keeper.

The Velvet Dolls Convertible Dress in Bronze (L)

Got all four colours of this dress (mad mad madness) and finally wore the bronze colour number, which is my favourite colour of the four. Comes fully lined and this version of the convertible dress from TVD hides the tummy! Yay!

Intoxiquette Removable Sash Peplum Dress in Cobalt (M)

Made from stretchy linen. At first I thought it's like LB's Miranda Skirt material but this is more stretchy than that. Very comfortable and I love that the peplum sash can be removed. Therefore if you are sick of the peplum craze, just remove the sash and wear it as a normal work dress! Love the colour!

ASOS Lace And Mesh Contour Dress (12)

One of my favourite dinner dresses! It's now slightly too big for me but definitely keeping it. Gonna bring it to a tailor to nip in the waist and alter the hips! Love the contours lace panels of the dress!

Love, Bonito Camilia Corset in Mint (L) & Love, Bonito Miranda Skirt in White (L)

Favourite combination to date! Mint is definitely my favourite colour and it's always a joy to wear this colour!

Reviewed the Miranda Skirt in White before - still love this piece to the max.

Love, Bonito Craft Finesse Dress in Mint (L)

Definitely an impulse purchase because of the colour, sigh. Even had to pay postage separately because I carted out the white one in M first, then I saw the Mint in L instock. Same cutting as the one I had in Navy Blue (L), still considering whether to sell this piece. Colour is peaceful and calming!

Love, Bonito Taffie Top in Violet (L)

It's my fifth colour in this top! Measurements for this batch is slightly bigger than the previous batch. A timeless basic, no less.

Victoria's Secret beach dress in White (M)

A very old VS dress that I managed to find in my wardrobe. Cleavage hanging too low for me! Too paiseh to wear out; definitely good for beach wear only.

Thanks for reading!
