OOTD #40: Poker Face

White Blouse - handed down by my Aunt Priscilla

Red and Black Strip Peplum Top - Forever 21 USA

Black Shorts - Someone handed down to me

Maroon Sling Bag - H&M

Jewel Printed Shoes - Vans 

Was listening to Poker Face cover by Lea Michele. Then, I decided to name the title of this blog post "Poker Face".

Wore this outfit for my friend's birthday party last Saturday. The theme of his 21st birthday party was "Classic Poker". The color code for invited guests are white, red and black. I could not decided on which color to wear so I dug out my closet and managed to coordinate an outfit together! How do I look?

Strip top does not exactly make me look more chubby- because of its peplum cut out, my figure was flattered. The white blouse to keep myself warm at night.

I have no intention to post up other photos that were taken during the party as I want to respect my friends' privacy. All I can say is, THE PARTY WAS AWESOME!

I had just officially ended the first week of my semester holiday! The week was spent very productively and thank God for his blessings too, I got to participate in Samsung's Solve for Tomorrow Competition. My girl friend who first got chosen by a lecturer for this competition recommended me to the lecturer. Thanks you to my girl friend! Everyone please pray for my awesome team to be shortlisted! Thanks You! 

I also received another opportunity from another lecturer for another major competition which might cause a major change to my future. I may not want to share it with everyone yet. Wish me all the best, everyone!

P/S: I have shamelessly created a Facebook Like Page for myself because I wanted to keep my Facebook profile slightly private. I am also curious to see if there is anyone reading my blog. *wide smiley face*

OOTD #39: Crochet Confidence

OOTD #39: Crochet

Crochet crop top - Cotton On

Shorts - Someone handed down to me

Maroon Sling Bag- H&M

I always love crochet pattern tops. I do not know when did I started loving them. The pattern seem so unique. I got this top last year, at a sale in Cotton On. Still remember at that point of time, there were nobody helping me to take pictures of my OOTDs, not even my then boyfriend. They only told me how shameless and thick skinned I am. Looking back till this date, I am thankful for my shameless and thick skinned personality. Because of this unique character, making new friends and knowing new people became realistically easier. 

Question: I am not skinny nor do I have a flat tummy and I wear a crop top.

My response: Yeah. I can pull them off anyway. It all comes to having CONFIDENCE. If you have no confidence and you did not even give yourself a chance to try on a crop top, then you won't know if you are able to pull it off. 

As long as I am happy with what I am wearing. I can pull off any outfits that I could coordinated with the clothes I have already owned in my closet!

Have fun trying out new looks with your clothes!
