Pre-Fall 2013 Trend // Tartan

Meet the Tartans! (not the Spartans, LOL)

Tartans are back this Pre-Fall 2013 season, as seen in several shows such as Chanel, McQ, and Preen. Btw from now on, I will sometimes post two look at the same time, wearing one single item in a two different look. This is the first time. 

The inspiration:

This blogpost is almost wordless, I'm in a rush: to my bed. I was exhausted today but the blogging must go on. Just enjoy the pics, people - for now.

COLORBLOCK: Green & Red (not for Christmas!)

Hi everyone, back with a new look!

I've been a huge fan of colorblocking and I think this trend will last until along this year, in any season whether it's spring/summer or fall/winter. I've been digging my mom's clothes over and over, and found this Tosca green Medieval-like blouse with the shocking red suede skirt. I found these at Christmas so I thought it would be a great idea to post a look at Christmas Day. But it turned out that I couldn't possibly even blogging at Christmas Day due to tons of church activity - it was so terribly hectic. So I delay this green-red theme look until now.

When we see these color: red & green, we must be directly associate it with Christmas. It is the power of symbol: to associate with something bigger. We associate (for example) Pink with Valentine or other romance feeling, Red and Gold with Chinese New Year or other Chinese theme, etc. Symbol is one of the most powerful medium to communicate something, and even there's a branch of science that specifically study in symbols or signs: Semiotics. I've been so much interested in semiotics lately, especially when it comes to semiotics in movies. I should write about this some other time, after finish reading the book hehe...

To add some twist, I added my tartan blazer (check my previous look)

FIRST LOOK IN 2012: RED & TARTAN BLAZER

FINALLY, FIRST POST IN 2012! YEAY!

I've been busy with final exams with lots of paper exam since 2nd of January. Thanks to the scumbag schedule! So this is me, with the first look in this new year.

I've been addicted to tartan pattern and found this amazing tartan blazer (again) in my mother's closet. Special thanks to my used-to-be stylish mom, who has so many fashionable items that can be wear until my generation haha... I wonder what kind of sorcerer my mother is, since she can forecast what will the fashion trend be in this time hahaha.

Well the thing is, fashion trends is basically a cycle. What was the trend in 50s, 60s, 70s and so on will be repeated again somehow in our time. So, i suggest you to open your mother's (or even your grandma's) closet, just explore and explore! You'll find something extraordinary, trust me haha.
