OOTD: No Snow Can Wear Beret?
I shall declare that this is one of my finest, most inspired moment just yet. I usually go for the soft feminine look, one that echoes my romantic inclination and a minimalistic approach to accessorizing because I believe "less is more".
However, I am a little jealous of all you people who get to layer in the cold, wear luxuriously soft coats and don on colourful leggings even if I do not envy how cold it can get. Singapore had been sporting a surprisingly cool weather and little sun and by cool, I mean it is still about 25 - 27 degrees celsius but comparing it to its usual 32 - 33 degrees all year round, this is winter for us and as good as it can get! So out comes my beret for some action. About 3 - 4 years ago, I wore berets frequently like a second skin and no one could understand this act of oddity in a climate like ours. I outgrew it and stored them away but seeing so much snow in all the blog posts made me dig it out again to relieve a moment of the past.
But of course sad lonely Murphy decided to intervene and made the day
especially bright and sunny so while I look like a fool sporting a knitted beret and a cardigan to lunch, the lighting was great and it was well-worth the amount of sweat I had to endure for the latter part of the day.
Without further ado, I present to you - the Purplish Pink Leopard!
I wrenched the leopard print cardigan away from its rack the moment I spotted it. I do so want a leopard print cardigan in beige like the
one H&M had awhile ago but it hasn't found its way into my life yet. For those who are freezing out there, hope the pictures of sunshine bring to you some warm memories of the past.

But the beret is such cuteness, what's ridiculous about that? It's perfect for th whole Mad Men feel of this outfit!
The dress is lovely and I want that cardigan, it's awesome to add instant wow to a simple outfit, no? I have a beret too and I never wear it but I'm going to try now, we can't help it if the weather refuses to cooperate with our fashion needs!
Oh, you always look so damn good! I love this outfit! And I offer to change my winter weather for yours :D
Such a cute outfit - I love the buttons, the beret, the bow, the print.... ALL of it. Ahhh too cute!
I really like this look! Very fun and chic :) Good idea putting a brooch on your beret!
Nicely one. I love the purple an leopard.
Ok, so you always looked amazing, but i think this maybe one of my favorites. It was worth all the sweat. That hat is perfect so bonnie and clyde.
that cardigan! i love it.
And you look extra adorable in your purple beret and gorgeous cardi! You go girl! Heat or not heat, bring on the cuteness! Lucky you in a sunny environment while the rest of us freeze our behinds off! Forget the coats, leggings and other winter attire...I want sun!!!!
You look great! Sorry you had to endure heat with that beret on, even though it is gorgeous with those rhinestones! I'm rather envious of your warm weather!
I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THAT CARDIGAN!! It's amazing!
This retro outfit is perfect, I love this style and the beret is gorgeous!

I'm also so happy that your blog is doing so well. I think your readers can tell you're a genuinely nice and fashionable person :). Can't wait to read more in 2011!
Very cute! I love the beret :)
That GOOD GOOD Blog
I LOOOOOOOVE it. So fun and femme. This is like, the perfect amount of punkishness with girly-ness. I love the Pink/Purple color and I'm so beyond envious of your beret! You lucky lady. I can't wear berets, because of my afro. Hats in general make me look like a muppet XD
Happy New Year right back at you, Dee! <333
