OOTD: Camel Tone
Thank you to those who gave me ideas on what to wear for 80s. I am
appalled you guys asked me to look like Cyndi Lauper!
How the hell am I going to achieve that?
I did find some
erm awesome makeup inspiration that I am going to attempt and I'll show you how I look in it.
I think I'm going to attempt this.When I bought this
Camel Pussybow blouse, I had a few instant lightbulb ideas on how to remix it. I shall wear it with skirts - solid colour skirts, printed skirts, skinny jeans and so it was from this blouse that my fashion resolutions sprung. If I cannot think of 3 wears for a garment, I shall not buy it. Camel seems to be the hottest colour of last season and even if I found myself usually shunning it, I was forced to re-look and re-think my perspective. After awhile, it grew on me. Not every camel/nude/tan tone looks good on me since I am a little tanned but I am all over this blouse since there are little bits of details that made it a winner - the subtle puff sleeves, the cool shantung silkish material, the smock gathers
(means allowance at tummy!) and a perfect length for tucking in or hanging it out. The big plus is of course me fitting into a size 18!
Bows for the Dorothy Perkins Camel Pussybow Blouse:
These skinny jeans are a favourite from Dorothy Perkins. They are "Dorothy Perkins Super Skinny" and I love them the best from all my jeans collection. They have this in dark blue and black but I am so head over heels over the dark blue one that I bought 2 pairs because you know
chub rubs kill pants and bottoms. I only wish I had bought more because this pair is pretty chub-rubbed.
I actually felt really inspired that day when I mix all my bracelets together. If you notice, there are times I chose to overkill with accessories just to make use of them. Somehow I think each of them went well with camel so I wore all. I was at work, ran errands after work and had dinner with the Boy. I felt chic the entire day and that put me on cloud nine!
Is there a particular piece of clothing that you have been loving and want to wear all the time?

Forgive me but when this first popped up in my blog reader i read the title as "camel toe" and was shocked for a moment! My bad...
This blouse looks beautiful on you though and I am jealous because I cannot wear colours like camel. I love the bow detail and the accessories you chose are perfect!
Love it! It's a good color for you and it looks great with your skinny jeans. I have been looking for a shirt lik this, but I haven't found one that works for me yet. I also agree with the resolution that if I can't wear it 3 ways I dont need to buy it. Does that apploy to dresses too? LOL.
Bethamint: LOL now that you said it .. Haha it does look like camel toe so you are absolutely forgiven! Why can't you wear camel? I think it would look lovely on pale and very dark skin tone!
Jeniese: :P Nope doesn't apply on dresses even though if you can wear a dress in 3 ways, the dress is a sure buy!
You look so good. I scored a rust/camel coloured pussybow blouse while thrifting!
Looking great. ;)

Same thing happened to me as bethamint! I was a little nervous scrolling down, ha!
Anyway, that is such a pretty top! I just got a secretary tie blouse and I'm obsessed, they're the only kind of top I want to wear, lol! Also, I love your flats and all those bracelets!
I love the neckline of that blouse! I don't have a particular piece of clothing, but I have a special love for cardigans and my outfit often doesn't feel complete without one! following btw! :D
You look so pretty! As always! I LOVE your OOTDs! <3

I love this look! Love! you look great in jeans. My daughter want me to do my makeup just like that. She loved the "rainbow" look.
love this look, so chic and comfortable! and duuuuude! Cyndi Lauper is awesome! All you need is some funky blue eyeshadow, a side ponytail, leg warmers and a blazer with shoulder pads maybe. Oooh and fishnet stockings! and very chunky earrings and bracelets.... I could go on but I won't :)
I love this outfit on you! And suuch great accessories. I'm going to steal your "If I cannot think of 3 wears for a garment, I shall not buy it" motto - that is such a good idea xx
This blouse is so cute, but I am so afraid of camle, brown and beige colors.
By the way I read Camle Toe, too xD
And this make-up looks so great *_* Make me wanne try, too!
I love the blouse - I'm a sucker for a blouse with a tie. It looks great with the jeans and funky flats! :)
I love bows, and the camel color is so chic. You funked it up with a bit of edge in your accessories. Just great! I love everything about this outfit!
This blouse is lovely! Thanks for following me, you're blog is amazing, very inspiring xx
you look great...this nude definitely works on you. as for the make up...you should try it. i love makeup. lol
When you find a pair of skinnies you do really need to hang on to them don't you? Good fitting skinny jeans for plus sizes are really hard to come by! I really like your whole outfit. Very cool!
SO Gorgeous! My favorite part: the stacked bracelets! So perfect. Loving the purple flats too. GREAT outfit!
Beautiful camel blouse ! Like the bow.
You look absolutely gorgeous!!!! This top suits you SO well, and you added the perfect accessories!! I have to buy some new jeans thanks to chub rub because I will wear my favorite pairs to the death!!
I love blouses with bows(as you'll see in my post)and this one is pretty nice! I also have a problem with this color because I look pale, but this one suits you really well. I usually mix those kind of color with something more punchy!
Gorgeous and casual: LIKE IT!

What an amazing outfit - you look gorgeous and your jewellery is f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s! (And also, PLEASE attempt the rainbow eye make-up! It would look incredible and I'd love to see it!)
I love that top on you! You're so cute in it. and you paired it so well with your bracelets and the necklace and shoes! I really love the way you pulled this together! I'm so glad you commented on my blog so I could find your blog I can't wait to see more of your look and what you pull together. :)
Cute top, I naturally love the big bow =) and I'm loving all the wrist adornments Quite a collection of amazing chunky bangles, especially love the one closest to your fingers (the linked one)! Anyway, looking super good in this outfit! And I see your from Singapore, I was there last month. Was going to finish my travelling pictures today including some from Singapore so be sure to have a look back and see what you think =)

I love the simplicity of this outfit with the added details like the bow on the shirt, the bracelets and the links on the shoes. I think only buying a garment if you can think of 3 uses for it is a GREAT idea! That's definitely a great way to have a fully functional wardrobe.
Cute blouse!
Oh how I love this blouse! You look dreamy and classy and gorgeous! I love the bracelets too! Pretty!
This blouse is beautiful! I'm a sucker for anything with a bow, so I'm even more in love with that part of it! I love how simple this outfit is and yet how rich in details!
This blouse is gorgeous, and it looks amazing on you! I think the color is perfect with your skin tone. Really great outfit. Thanks so much for your comment & for visiting my blog!! If you ever try that eye make up, please post pictures, b/c it looks AWESOME.

p.s. I am following you, I really like your blog!! :)
Really nice outfit! I gotta say, I'm in love with your shoes. I don't much wear ballet flats anymore, but I think I would if I owned yours. They look so rich! Same with the jewelry...it looks similar to a lot of stuff I've seen at J. Crew, but I just can't afford it! I think their prices are a little excessive.
Thanks for your comment! I really enjoyed hearing about what you'd do with a bunch of free time. I think I might rearrange my furniture with my time, too. Thanks for the idea! :)
I love that blouse! It looks great with the simple gold necklace as well.
I love the pussybow blouse, it looks great on you! The color of it is really pretty :)
Well you look stunning as always. The cut of the shirt is absolutely perfect on you, and it looks effortlessly chic. I also really love your necklace; it's so simple, yet classy and fashionable. Love it :)
Girl i love the whole ensemble!
