OOTD: All Decked Out In Denim
I've been loving a lot of denim lately and even managed to remix! In fact, I didn't realize how much denim I've worn till I looked back at my outfits taken on my camera. Here are 3 separate sets of outfits over the weekend!
Review of the ASOS Curve Stitch Pleat Panel Peg Leg Jeans:I have already worn this pair of jeans thrice ever since receiving it in the mail recently. May I just say it is one of the best acquisitions ever for a bottom from ASOS Curve? It is super comfortable and unlike my skinny jeans, it doesn't cling to the skin
(I can scratch the itch! Have you ever felt irritated because you can't get to the itchy bit when you are well clung by the skinny jeans?) and I can literally wear this everywhere. It is the one thing I would turn to religiously - to go to a cold movie theatre, to wear on a lazy day out, to do tomboyish actions, to dress down in for work. I know it is supposed to be some kind of a three quarters, as seen from the ASOS Curve model but let's face it, not everyone of us are equipped with a model's height so I am happy to let it remain as a pair of full length jeans. The pockets are big and can contain a ton. Usually when I go out for lunch, I have to have my wallet, my tissue, my cards etc and these pockets carry all!
Bowdicts for ASOS Curve Stitch Pleat Panel Peg Leg Jeans:
A well-deserved 5 bows! Well-done! Okay I am pretty positive that I can do a size down as it is super roomy but having it at the size I ordered, it kinda looks slouchy and I don't care if I look a bit stumpy. The comfort makes it all worthwhile! You can see me wearing them on 2 separate occasions in the pictures above. The black lace blouse is from Miss Selfridge and is a size 16. I can fit very rarely into smaller sizes but if you search carefully and not be daunted by the size tag, there are always room for pleasant surprises!

Peg Leg Jeans: ASOS Curve

Here, I am wearing my Dorothy Perkins Super Skinny Jeans
(also seen here) - another pair that I positive adore because I feel it looks good on me and makes my thunder thighs and legs appear slimmer. It is comfortable enough but not nearly as much as the ones from ASOS Curve. Still these jeans make very regular appearances on days when I want to look sharp
(and not slouchy).
I also want to make a special mention to my waffle ring, made by the lovely
Georgina and purchased by
amonkeyfashionista for a giveaway that I've won. Sweet chattermonkey sent me a package chocked full of cute little goodies from dollymixx, a beautiful snow white snood and a Joe Brown's blouse. A big hug to her!

The denim biker jacket made a comeback
(last seen here). It looks like I have a penchant for mixing ditsy floral prints with the denim biker jacket. I know it looks like I seldom remix but here's proof that I totally do. 3 remixes just over the weekend. I'm thrilled because it means I am exercising more of my wardrobe! And if you think the last 2 set of pictures look odd and my boobs appear giant
(no, it's not a weekend boob job), that's because I was toying around with my fisheye lens :)

OOTD: Fireworks
Hello! I haven't been around as much as I should this week because:
a. I am growing out my horrendous bangs which I had my hair stylist cut despite his disproving and mournful looks as he took the scissors to me. But of course, it seems like it is a disaster so I am letting it settle and grow out a bit. I also did some straightening on top of it so the short bangs jut out like .. it doesn't belong to my head.
b. It is Chinese New Year in places where the Chinese people roam. For those in the know, this is the Year of the Rabbit. For those who are interested in our chinese culture, please feel free to read about Chinese New Year
here. In a nutshell, I have been feasting all week, getting time off work, collecting red packets from my parents and married friends, entertaining my aunt who came to visit from Taiwan and whom I will also be hanging out with when I go over in April and visiting some friends with mandarin oranges. I know these may sound really strange or foreign but it is very much imbued into our Chinese culture! Parents give children red packets during Chinese New Year just like how parents give children money for Christmas and I can't really explain well far beyond that. My mother gave me an extra large packet this year (which means more money!) for me to make a new pair of contact lens but I had already spent that money on two new tops from
New Look unfortunately (oops) and also on a Valentines' Day present for my boyfriend so I am broke once again.
Outfit of the Day is backdated till I find some time off and get some new pictures taken with the abysmal fringe.
This dress is from
Dorothy Perkins from at least a year ago and it has a name! It's called the "Fireworks" dress, not inspired by Katy Perry whatsoever. I wanted to make a special mention because it can be considered a favourite because it is my go-to dress whenever I have no idea what to wear, when I feel down, when I feel happy and is a perfect summer dress for its short sleeves (which you can't see in the above pictures) and I've also considered that if I should ever need to run away, I will wear this very dress! Not that I really have a reason to because I am too old for running away now. The denim jacket is liked for its puff sleeves. I would have loved it if it is a size larger BUT this is a size 16, the last of its kind in the stores at that time and a proof that with a lot of squeezing, we can still fit into some objects of desire.
