Navy blue velvet dress:many years back,CollageBelt:vintage,mom's
Leg warmers:vintage mom's hand me down
Floral flats:Dirty Pretty Things
Beret/accessories:random/vintage
One of my resolutions in year 2010 that I've just added to the list? To add each outfit with a splash of colors. So I dug up old leg warmers my mom had passed down to me. I've gotten them for so long that I missed out there was something so beautiful waiting to be worn out. Them with floral flats are just another way I wanted color today.
Talking about shoes,I feel that I'm so dumb in a way. I mean I used to dance ballet for 9 years but I've stopped for a few years now. So I've got my old ballet flats(few pairs in fact) and I didn't even wear them out as normal shoes at all. Taking them out tomorrow to wear them and maybe stud the black ones I have as well.
Some bloggers have mentioned that they would love to spend less this year on clothes and do more DIYs instead. Pretty good idea to follow,so I'm jumping on the wagon too. I want to do more DIYs of my own so as to start saving and yet still have new reconstructed clothes to add to my closet.
One blogger I really admire for her beautiful style and awesome DIYs is Sophia of Phosphene. Many of you must have heard of her. She is so so creative and good with her hands on diys and she makes such lovely pieces. You have got to check out her blog right now if you have been missing out.
Also,don't forget to join the Heel Candies-One for you,One for me competition! You still have time,dateline's until 20th January 2010. Stand to a pair of shoes from Valerie and Jonathan Aston tights from me!
Keep those Q&A questions coming in too~

Arrrrgh love your berret!! Love the color :))
here it goes: this outfit is super adorable! i love everything about it. it's so ME!
QUESTION: what inspired you to start a fashion blog?
are the clothing that you use in the pictures of your own buying or clothing stores supply you with them?
OMG CUTE! HAHA
funny outfit honey
! Phosphene's such a great read, wowza, she's gorgeous in a unique way. And yes, stud your old ballet shoes! So cool that you were a ballerina, I took classes when I was 7? But I was the biggest cow in the class, towering over my peers, definitely not a pretty pink ballerina moment.
that dress is gorgeous and i love phosphene's blog. i despair of being capable of DIY though.
You always look adorable, and this outfit is no exception. I love the color of your beret and your outfit looks adorable with the knee highs and flats.
Happy New Year, hun!

Thanks for your comment!!
valencia!!!
that's a great idea to decorate your old ballet shoes. i mean, how cute would that be? :D
i also think it would be a good idea to spend less on clothes this year. eeek. especially since i barely have any pocket money left after the holidays (and the, uh, holiday shopping for myself! haha). more diy is a fantastic idea! :)
that's cool that you have leg warmers that used to belong to your mom! whenever i look at my mom's old pictures, i'm like "too bad you still don't have your old clothes, because i would LOVE to wear that!" boo. some of their stuff was so cute!
<3 lalalalove you!
Cute outfit... Love that velvet dress... Amazing how you always dare to mix all kind of fabrics, colours and patterns :) Always nice to visit your blog girl!!

LOVE those flats! Excited to see your DIY ballet flats, too. I just checked out Phosphene and am getting crazy DIY ideas that I bet I would never finish, but thanks for the recommendation!
this is why Asians are some of the best dressed people in the whole world. Honestly.
