Casual // Camel and White

Finally, I came back after more than 1 month hiatus!

February was such a busy month and I was just too tired to do all the blogging thingy. 

Back with a casual look, with camel skirt & white trim-shirt with white sandals.

Everything that I wear here is all "new" - actually the only thing that is really new is the sandals, I bought them in Sogo Department Store. Both the shirt & skirt are my mom's. Those aren't new, and yet new for me since I just found them nowadays in my mom's closet. Too be honest, the size of this camel pleated skirt is actually much more longer. I folded the skirt too make them shorter hehe. And about the trim-shirt, I love the trimming detail with a touch of animal print pattern; plus, the shirt and the belt is a already one package. The pattern matches each other, doesn't it? I just have no idea where did my mom buy this one, a very unique piece indeed! In other pics I added my camel oversize blazer to create an almost-monochromatic look. 

I can say that this style kinda represent my idea of combining the vintage with the modern & sleek. The shirt & skirt both are vintage, mixed with the minimalistic & sleek white sandal which is pretty happening nowadays. I mean, you don't have to try too hard to look uber-stylish by wearing all-the-up-to-date pieces in one outfit. What's the point of wearing all the coolest stuff together and yet actually it doesn't suit your very personal style? My motto is, follow the trend and yet keep your inner personality there.

White Trimmed Sheer Shirt + Belt: Vintage

Camel Suede Pleats Skirt: Vintage

Camel Oversize Blazer: Vintage

White Sandal: Chocolate Schubar (SOGO) 

I was trying another location for a photoshoot, still at the backyard of my house. I kinda like this place.

Love the little-shiny-gold heels!

Sorry for the too-much pictures. Next time I will limit the amount of pictures, maximum 10 pics hehe.

Pre-Fall 2013 Trend // Grey/Aztec Sweater

It's been so long since my last post, isn't it?

I shall not make any explanation about this, because it will eventually bores you all. The point is, I've been neglecting my "blogging duty" for more than a month.

So, this is the very first post in 2013, eh? To pass 2012 and come into 2013 is actually a blessing indeed. Many people didn't survive 2012 and don't have a slightest chance to see 2013. We all shall be grateful for this of course.

About the outfit, it's more casual and simpler than any of my previous look. I'm not in the mood for a girly-fancy-too decorative outfit. This year, I'm planning to post a more mature, simpler, & wearable looks - and perhaps less color. A not-so-WOW looks - I try not to please everyone, I just wear what I want to wear.

In this super-freezin'-cold-non stop rainy days recently, it is pretty wise to wear a warm cozy sweater, no? I found this grey aztec (or tribal, whatever) sweater in Endorse Shop Tebet last year. I love the aztec pattern accent on the top & the camel patch on the elbow. I mixed this with my asymmetrical-pleats black skirt from Mango, which I bought on sale for only IDR 199.000 (wohoo!). 

Dark Brown Knit Beanie: Unbranded

Grey Aztec Sweater: Gravel, from Endorse Shop Tebet

Asymmetrical-Pleats Black Skirt: Mango

Black Boots: My mom's

Grey sweater is really in, as you can see from Pre-Fall 2013 Shows. So these are the inspiration, the grey sweater trend to be checked out:

Alexander Wang & Celine Pre-Fall 2013

I personally love this Alexander Wang's cozy sweater, especially the pattern. Same as Celine, I got the inspiration to mix aztec sweater with pleats skirt from this look.

I also love these looks, using grey sweater:

CASUAL ATTIRE #3 // Tribalism

Finally a full body outfit post.

Yeah I have managed to take this pictures at my dad's karaoke room because it has a pretty good lighting. Anyway please do forgive the not-so-HD pics, I have this ancient camera with low resolution - that's why I edit a lot.

Around one month ago I went to a thrift store in Juanda Street (Ciputat) and found this tribal tank - which is not a secondhand piece - for IDR 45000. And when I see the label, it is from an Indonesian ethnic brand. I'm not into tribal pattern so much, but due to my impulsive shopping behavior, I finally bought it. Although I'm not a fan of ethnic style, yet when I scrutinized the tribal pattern from this tank, I kinda adore it - and it matches well with my old burgundy pants. The outerwear that I'm wearing is actually a blazer, a collarless blazer to be precise. I found it in my mother's closet.

Right now tribalism is on the way up, it becomes one of the latest fashion trend. While in real life, a "tribalism" behavior is condemned.

Btw I actually feel that this style isn't really "me", I'm actually more into preppy vintage look with collars or oxford shoes. But it's okay to be different sometimes right?

Just Some Photos Editing...

Nothing really special about this look except the photo editing. Yet it is not that special too, because I did this editing with Pixlr O-Matic 

I was too lazy to edit these photo by myself hehehe :-P

In this pics I just wore some casual clothes: a white shirt paired with blue stripes sweater, the black legging, silver heels, & bowler hat.

This outfit actually was the outfit that I wore for Social Research Method's presentation at campus (minus the hat & the heels)...

 

And these are another edited-photos:
