Tweed with Ruching Sleeves: May 19, 2011

Finally, I posted something that I wore within the same day! I am still in the binge of 3/4 or ruching sleeves blazers! Can't you tell?


Blue Hues Due: May 18, 2011

I was due to wear something blue & not to a wedding. Blue/white combo always looks so bright & crisp, in my opinion.


Silk Cropped DB: May 17, 2011

Another new fave and new find! Silk cropped double-breasted with 3/4 sleeves. What else could I ask for right?



Little Red DB Blazer: May 16, 2011

Love this blazer. At first I thought it's little snug on me, but it's actually not. I always love anything/everything gold/with goldtone. So it's perfect!



Red Linen Dress: May 14, 2011

I finally wore a dress this Spring. First time as it's always raining & it made me not to wear dress. Too much work (for me at least). But since that day was nice, so I gave in.


Boring Brown: May 10, 2011

I think this outfit was boring. Really. I was too lazy to play with accessories and/or color. Just grabbed something that did not require ironing! Ha!
