[Casual] Maxi dress x denim shirt

Wahaha~~  floral prints x denim shirt ANNNNND.... my favorite stripes!!

It's only June and already too hot.

Every time I wear my neon orange TOMS, I get comments like "wow, the color really pops out!" all the time.  My reactions are.... yeah... it's safer to wear them at night!!  Well......

Again, I tied my denim shirt at front to create portion by a cropped-top look.  Can you tell from the picture that I am actually only 162 cm (5 feet and 3 3/4 inch)?

Cropped top is in trend this year.  Normally, I would have had a bunch of crop tops on hand with pictures already.  However, as I have promised myself when buying that PS11 bag that I will NOT spend a dime on any clothes till Dec. 31st (shoes under a certain price range will be allowed during Thanksgiving shopping season as I am actually planning to buy a pair of Rag & Bone Harrow booties in black leather when SHOPBOP offers extra 30% off this time).  And that's all for this year.  Thus, despite how much I love this year's new trend - cropped tops, I could NOT spend any money on it.  

Being unable to buy new clothes doesn't really bother me... now I realized.....

I either digged my closet for my old pieces that was a little too short or created a "faux" cropped-top look by tying a knot with my shirts.   

As a result, I did find some lace tanks that could be worn as cropped tops with a high-waisted midi full skirt.

So now... it's time to hit the gym... A toned ab is also a necessity when wearing crop tops.

[Work Attire] Striped Dress x Striped Tote and Striped Flats!

Hello everyone!  This outfit was from yesterday.  As usual, my love of stripes just won't fade away...
大家好阿~  這其實是昨天的穿搭啦!  一如往常,我對條紋單品的熱愛永不滅阿~~~

Stripes COMBO!!!     All about stripes!!
條紋單品連發   全條紋大挑戰

This dress is from last season.  Its material is heavy weight cotton with a hint of stretch.  I normally wear 00-Regular or 0-Petite.  However, this one didn't have neither of my sizes, I ended up with a 00-Petite.  It fits me pretty well in general since this is a fit and flare silhouette.  The only downside is a tad tight around my neck.

這件洋裝是上一季的  是相當有份量 有點厚度的棉 有一點點的彈性   我通常穿 Regular 00號, 或是 Petite 0號.  但是當初這件洋裝,我兩個常穿的尺寸都沒有,只好買了 小一點的 Petite 00 來試試看 (激勵自己減肥)  整體來說相當合身, 因為是小圓裙的剪裁   唯一的小缺點只是頸部有點小緊

I really like shopping in LOFT because they frequently offer discount over new arrivals and no codes needed.  They also offer extra discounts on sale products from time to time.  Their collections are usually perfect for work.  Ann Taylor is their sister brand with a higher price and sometimes better cutting and material.  They do have very similar designs and style.  You can find similar styles in different prints or fabrics on both websites.  That is to say, if you find a cute dress on LOFT with a little disappointment on is color, you can always check Ann Taylor instead and maybe find a 90% similar dress in the color you prefer.  Vice versa.
我很喜歡在LOFT 買東西, 因為常常新貨就給打折(不是小氣的九折或是八折喔!)  而且不用折扣碼   甚至連已經在折扣區的商品 都還可以有折上折!!  LOFT的東西大部分都是非常適合上班職場的穿著   另帶一題, Ann Taylor 是 LOFT 比較高檔一點的品牌, 兩個品牌基本上設計很像,只是消費族群年齡稍有不同.  如果你在LOFT 找到喜歡的洋裝卻不太滿意顏色,可以試著找找看 Ann Taylor, 可能會找到9分像,但是有你喜歡的顏色的喔!  反之亦然!

[Nail Polish] Ciate - 021 Holiday Blue!

Hooray!!!  This is my 100th blog post!!  Can't believe that I made it this far.

This color without doubt is summer ready!

Accidentally found this nail polish in SaSa last weekend and checked out immediately!

Ciate is really easy to apply.  Dry fast.  

This is two coats (one coat is fairly good enough) with a Sassy clear top coat.

[Work Attire] [Casual Wear] Navy Blue Top x Yellow Pencil Skirt x Caramel PS11

Hello everyone!  I know it's been a long silence...

大家好~ 好久不見!

My family went on a trip to South Korea during Dragon Boat Festival.  I like weather in Korea and their eating habit is so different from ours.  I might post more photos later on... (cross my fingers!)

端午節我跟家人去韓國玩  我喜歡韓國的天氣  而且韓國人的飲食習慣跟台灣很不同

我應該會再放上旅遊照片吧! (我想~~)

Okay...  Today is another work --> casual outfit.

好的~ 今天又是一套 從工作到休閒的穿搭

Gotta mention my new Proenza Schouler PS11 Classic bag in caramel first.

PS11 has its irreplaceable place in my heart.  I'm personally not crazy about PS1; however, PS11, PS13 and PS Courier always catch my eyes.  Last week, I found that Reebonz.com had this caramel classic PS11 on sale within my range and a bright yellow mini on sale on SSENSE.com.  I couldn't decide whether to get a long-lasting color bigger size one or the bright summer-ready smaller size cutie.  Thus, I had a quick poll between my male friends (thought they tend to be less biased).

一定要先提一下新入手的 PS11 Classic Size 焦糖色的包包

PS11 在我心中有無可取代的地位! 我個人並沒有太喜歡PS1, 但是很喜歡 PS11, PS13 還有 PS Courier.  上周, Reebonz 有特賣這個焦糖色的, 同時, 也有一個鮮黃色小一點尺寸的mini 在 SSENSE 網站上特賣  我完全無法下決定要買哪個顏色  只好讓我的男性朋友們投票(我想他們應該會比較公正吧!)

It is too hard to wear a long-sleeved shirt all day here in Taiwan.  Instead, I wear it as a cardigan so the tank underneath won't be too revealing and a tie-front adds a little twist and portion to my outfit.  Blue and navy goes really well with bright (a little neon) yellow and caramel (neutral color).  

台灣實在是太熱了,整天穿著長袖襯衫真的太難  所以我把襯衫當做小外套罩衫,讓小可愛不會太過裸露,適合辦公室穿著  前面小綁結 製造比例  

(深) 藍色跟黃色 (這個其實有點螢光黃) 真的很搭 也很適合配上中性的焦糖色

Top: A&F Blue Striped Shirt, Uniqlo AiRism Tank in Navy

Bottom: J.Crew Factory Pencil Skirt

Shoes: Ivanka Trump Fabian Ankle Strap (ZAPPOS, AMAZON)

Bag: Proenza Schouler PS11 Classic in Caramel

Really enjoy my caramel PS11.  真的是太喜歡我的焦糖色的 PS11 了!!

Replace the pencil skirt with Siwy denim cutoffs created a casual look for the same top pieces.

Untied my shirt and put on my neon TOMS.  Ready to be chic?

把鉛筆群換成Siwy 的短褲, 上衣雖然不變, 卻成了另一種休閒風格

把襯衫的結打開 穿上我螢光橘的TOMS  準備好時尚儀下了嗎?

Bottom: Siwy Denim Cutoffs (Size 25)

Shoes: TOMS (Lace, Size 6)

[Nail Polish] Mint green nail polish by Dior

This minty green nail polish from Dior was from last year's collection.  I found it perfect to be worn at this "post-Easter pastel x spring-y" moment of time!!
