LOTD: Re-defining Beauty with Lurvy Curvy

With Lurvy Curvy, we created 4 looks with the pieces. I did a first ever flipagram and it wasn't too bad! :) If you are looking for affordable clothings at affordable price, this is the place to shop. All the apparels came with lining! 

What I love about them is that the clothes really look better than what you see on site partially because they do not use "perfect' models which we all know is not realistic in real life cos our figures are all different. Being beautiful no longer means you have to be perfect. :)

1. Goddess Green Layered Chiffon Top - Sweet Rainbow Tart

Ok, I think I took the last piece :P Chiffon layered top are best dressed with tight jeans or bottoms cos they are a bit flared out. So this is a common trick to make yourself look slim.

But, I am not sure why I had this weird idea that this top had to be paired with my rainbow tutu skirt to make it appear a dress. Not a look that suits every one, but this is a cherry sweet piece that can go with coloured sandals and is more laidback because of the material. For ladies who have tutu skirts and going "crap, how to wear the tutu skirt!?!" you can try it. Paired with the right accessories and formal shoes, this look can be modified to be something more funky :)

2. Lucious Legs Coral Scalloped Shorts - Looking Badass

Another, last piece snagged by me. But let's chat a little bit about coloured shorts. I think it is a staple which every girl must have. For me, most of my tops are black or navy, so if I pair them with dark bottoms, I look pretty much all gloom, like a grim reaper in the making.

The wavy patterns at the bottom of the shorts used to be really "in". They are supposed to promise longer legs, but maybe such designs don't seem to lengthen mine. What I like about the experimentation is the vamping up something so simple and ordinary to give it more character with a nice hat. What do you think?

3. Cool-headed beauty Frosty Skirt - Chic and Cute

If you are looking for a skirt that you can go to work in yet wear it as a casual weekend piece, you would love this. This has to be my favourite look, partially the Pikachu is so cute. It is really easy to pair this piece for a corporate look, just throw on any block coloured formal top, and you look ready to seal some deals.

Just to challenge myself, I wondered if I could make this go a little cutesy. So I threw on the new cute Pikachu Chiffon material top (Bugis Street) and my all-time-favourite foxy sling (Kawaii Clothing). And I am super satisfied with the results!

4. Rosy Blush Soft Mesh Dress - Retro Lady

Quite honestly, I thought this piece could end up quite badly - like those Cheena goods. Phew, it actually was of great material. What attracted me to select this piece was its mesh design top which was unique. Pulling it off was a another thing since I am obviously more kick-ass and have too much character to look so frail and delicate.

This is that sort of dress your mother-in-law will immediately approve sort of dress. It automatically makes you a lady even if you attempt to squish up your face. There is really no way to rough up this dress, so just enjoy the pink translucent dress and daintily skip around :)

---End---

And that's the end of all my looks that any one can do it too. Lurvy Curvy has a few pieces on sales and those are really worth it! *totally can vouch for it* Imperfections can always be downplayed by picking the right clothes. Lurvy Curvy focuses on making each girl pretty. Even when I picked a wrong size, their owner was open to making an exchange and ensuring that I look good in the piece I exchanged for.

Considering I look different for each of the looks, it is true that your choice of clothes can define the person you want to be seen as. Presentation always lead to an initial perception which may or may not your true self. I am always supporting people being themselves, but I don't deny it is sometimes fun to challenge and role play :P Rosy Blush Soft Mesh Dress me!

My Zakinth: How to accessorise?

Accessories matters. It can really make or break a look. Can't emphasize that enough. So today, I will share with you how to pull off some accessories, courtesy of My Zakinth.

My Sanctuary - The coloured threaded necklace

Every girl should have a rainbow-coloured necklace. At first impression, you may think such pieces look tacky. But nope, they are actually very versatile, because of the many colours, they can blend with the different colours of your apparels. For me, I always think that a good fashion pairing, you cannot go striking for every piece.

If you want the attention to be on your neck and on the necklace, pair it with a subtle Little Black Dress or a simple white blouse. My Sanctuary looks like a heavy piece but actually it feels pretty lightless on my neck. If you don't have a fabric necklace, you may consider getting a piece.

Cross Me - The butterfly lovers

My mum keeps describing it as the butterfly, which does look a little so at one of its angle. Golden cuff are a must have for the clubbing look. If you are skinny enough, you can always make it an arm band. But make sure you don't have too much flabs on your arms, as these cuffs would make look as though your fats are squeezed out. Lol and that doesn't look sexy...bleh

Because this piece is pretty eye-catching by itself, you need to pair it with something light so that it doesn't become to overwhelming. By that, I mean accessorise less. If your dress has a light gold buckle or a simple golden ear-ring, I think it is sufficient. Prequel of my new look :P But this is how you can pair it :)

Glam Me Up - Heavy Gold

This is a heavy gold accessory which I am sure many ladies also a have a staple like this in the wardrobe. Like its colourful sister, this piece is easy to match and it does glam you up immediately because it is a solid colour. Such chunky necklaces always go well with plain tops simply because they are so big, they block any patterns of your dress out of sight and out of (people's) mind.

For my simple look, I paired it with another piece Rose-Shaped Earstuds. This is a super favourite of mine. And it is only at $2.80. Unbelievably cheap. What I simply love about this pair of ear rings is that it looks so simple and classy. It doesn't try to outdo anybody.

Here's a close-up of it. Such designs are normally found in jewelry store. I am so super glad I got this at a steal. Plus this earrings go with anything. It can be formal, yet it can also go casual. 

My Zakinth is a really nice store that sells really affordable accessories. Whether you are going for a corporate or casual look, you are bound to find something there. Most importantly, their accessories are of good quality, not those that rust after a few wear. The earrings to date have not caused any irritation to my ears. And mind you, I have been wearing them for months already!

Step by Step: The Trinity

So where's 2? Probably missed it and only remembered like a few months later and so it wasn't as meaningful to write about it.

I guess be missing 3, cos 3 always have a holy ring to the number. And just like that, I have written 3 years of posts and have entered 3 years into workforce. (Yea, I started writing on the day I finished my exams. Preparing the respite from the upcoming doldrum in life, hahaha) 

The first year is always about fumbling, experimenting and self-exploration of interest. The second year is about doing things better and improving what is seemingly a repeated task. The third year is pretty much being overworked and overwhelmed cos the best is always being rewarded with more work?!? Lol. 

To mark 3 years, I have made significant noticeable effort to improve the reading experience. New layouts!! And we will even have giveaways. So please join and actively support. That's a little like a "fan service" for this case more like "reader service" Haha. 

Moving forward, we will no longer be relying on organic growth. So that means more engaging content, more varied writing style and even guest contributions!! For an alternate glimpse into my memories, you can follow me on my Instagram. :) Also, if you are a fellow writer and want to collaborate, just hit me up!
