Cozy Knits

I've always wanted to wear knits but every time I attempt to, the temperature never hits below the 25-30 degree Celsius range. And that is hot! It's like having summer all year round. But I wouldn't let that stop me from buying and sporting this striped knit top with this gorgeous skirt that was gifted to me by a friend.

I love the sheer simplicity and femininity of this look. And this explains why I love wearing skirts most of the time. They are so easy to wear but with the right pair of shoes can easily transform your look from drab to fab!

Daisy Skirt + Huge Announcement

I find it difficult to turn down an adorable skirt. I've been obsessed with them lately (if you haven't noticed). They're so easy to wear and style that I do not have to spend a great deal of time planning an outfit... like this one. 

I've had this daisy print skirt on my wishlist for a long time. It took me a while to finally decide to click on the "Add to Cart" button. I tried to talk myself out of buying a new skirt, thinking I don't need a new one. But then I gave in to the urge and decided to buy the skirt. And I was happy I did. 

This is one of my favorite looks that I sported during my vacation to Malaysia. The ballerina top from HerBench provided enough comfort while the skirt added the chic factor to my outfit. I love the flared bottom to give the look an ultra girl-y feel. However, I had to wear a scarf over it when we visited the Batu Caves because I was told it was a tad too short. Oops!

This skirt was one of my favorites in the most recent batch of orders I got from SheInside. The fabric is of high quality - which is really important for me. The back of the skirt is also garterized so you do not have to worry about getting the measurements exactly right when you order it from the site. As of now, I'm pretty sure this won't be the last time you'd be seeing this skirt on my blog. Don't say I didn't warn you. :)

Meanwhile, for some exciting news: we just got ENGAGED! I wanted to wait a while before I make this big reveal on my blog. It happened during our trip in Malaysia. To be specific, we were on our very first cable car ride when he proposed to me. We were on our way to Genting Highland on a cable car when in the middle of the ride, he suddenly played the song "Marry Me" by Train. I looked him in the eye and can tell that he was getting misty-eyed. I knew he was about to do something special when he started doing this monologue. And then... he got down on one knee. That is when he whipped out the ring! I have no clear memory of what happened after because everything felt like a blur to me. At the same time, it seemed like time stood still. Surreal is an understatement. It took me about 2 to 3 hours to allow the feelings to sink in. Good thing my friends were able to capture a video so we'd have something to look back on and re-live this moment for years to come. 

Here is a glimpse of my outfit during my travel and a glimpse of my engagement ring. The ring itself is a princess cut white diamond in a white gold band adorned with 14 diamonds. I am not too big on fancy jewelries but he did a great job choosing this ring! The ring is reflective of my personal style - subtle but sophisticated and feminine. 

Do you feel the same way about skirts?

 

Style Remix: Keeping it Classy

It's no secret that I am a shameless outfit repeater. So for today, I am going to show another way I've styled an old item off my closet. Technically, this isn't too old. But you might have seen me wear this skirt here and here. I tried to keep it simple this time, focusing on making the skirt the focal piece of my outfit. I opted for a basic white tee to make the two-tone skirt pop. A statement necklace infused the glam feel to the look and also makes it a bit dressed up than your regular casual day look. 

Aside from being really comfortable to wear, I like this outfit because I think it is the closest reflection to my personal style: feminine but simple. A red lipstick helped to add the sass to my outfit so I just went for it. I am wearing IN2IT's long lasting red lipstick, if you're curious.

Of Lace and Pink + Linkup

You might scoff at me for my repeated insistence on loving lace but what's a girl to do? I LOVE lace! Hence, it was not surprising to me that I picked not one but two lace skirts from ThredUP as part of our collaboration. This lace pencil skirt is one of them. You can see me style the other lace skirt here.

I decided to go all-out with the feminine detail of the look by pairing the lace skirt with my pink sheer top. A hint of mint from my necklace helped to break up the color monotony. And for the final touch of glam, my sleek ponytail came to the rescue. 

If you noticed, I was all smiles that day - the weather was cooperating with us. In fact, the wind kept blowing my way and I think it helped out to create some beautiful shots. Here's to hoping for another fun and successful shoot outdoors!
