some fashion resolutions

Coming from a casual wearing environment I wear nice jeans weekly and tee shirts too. But I am looking forward to dress corporately. It's somehow more chic. I mean, if you can avoid G2000 and find a right fit for trousers (southaven fits my buns well) and find feminine tops and nice shoes. Whee!

Here I make some fashion resolutions for the year. After always telling myself internally but never getting around to announce them.

1. Always double cleanse my face when I wear makeup out. Shocking but I have always neglected to do so... ahhh, can hear my facialist screaming.

2. Don't buy or even step into the nice and cheap jewellery shops like...Diva. I'm always attracted to the chic rings that tarnish within a few weeks. Will save more and go for those better ones like...Thomas Sabo.

3. Don't buy new clothes until I have finished wearing all those I have not worn before. Haha! Well, 2 dresses and 2 tops left to go. Not counting the corporate wear...

4. Wear my Marc Jacobs dresses more often.

5. Stop buying flat shoes. They are too flat, feet ache and back ache. And learn to walk in heels.

6. For that matter, stop buying cheap shoes. They are never comfortable...

7. Get a nice bag I really x 100 like. The Mullberry satchel in sand color, the Lady Dior in gray or red or purple, Marc ... and also carry the bags I spent small bombs on, at least carry it more often...

8. Grow out hair - this is very difficult for me because I have such thick hair I feel like cutting them off all the time - and do a soft perm...always my desire since early 20s and I AM APPROACHING LATE 20s! GAH! 3 more months to a longer hair anyway.

9. Take care of my skin by drinking more water, probably need to start on some collagen or oil pills... use the pore minimizing stuff and serum... this actually works! I look younger! Yea.

10. Stop buying cheapo nail polish and actually try to use up the Opi ones before buying more. And in line with this, always have immaculate nails. I'm quite consistent with that!

Here, my blog shop buys. Yes all that and more. (I bought them when I was still having a salary...) In my opinion, the material is quite good nowadays, or at least as good as those in standard shops. However, the lengths of dresses are often too short for me and most of them only come in one size. But I do like them for their unique designs and cheaper prices.



Got the pale turquoise dress.




My current accessory, Thomas Sabo charm bracelet. No girl's ever too old for a charm bracelet!
