Vintagious Act

It was the night where all the good memories came back to me. I and my high school old pals, we are attending a drama that was held by our school. Way back then, when I was just a teenager like all the actresses that night, I was full of hopes and dreams.

Getting into character, or to put it in a word, acting, brings many extraordinary feelings to me. Those days, I even considered to pursue a more serious acting career in theater... Ah... Good times... Good times...

That night, I think I also did a little act by dressing up vintage style, since it's not very much my style. First, I intended to dress like Maria the first time she came to Von Trapp house; blue oldies dress, belt, flat shoes, tote bag, and a bow tie made up from a shawl. I even thought to bring a guitar... Hahaha...

But then I thought, why bother? So I decided to simplify the vintage image in my head. This is my another favorite color combo, red-white-black. Monochrome that has been spiced up.

Life In Mono


My friends once said that I'm way too gloomy in styling myself. I always wear too much black or grey or plain white.
What she didn't know was that I really love throwing on monochrome!
It makes me feel like if a Parisien or a New Yorker lady with some chic and classy look.
In the future, I will make sure to show you my other styles in monochrome. Gloomy? I know, but I love it! :)

Anyway, here is a picture of me in GI, hanging out with my bestiest after attending a holy matrimony of our friends. But I wore an ethnic necklace instead of the shawl when I was attending the ceremony.

Chocolatey


This is the latest style that I threw when I and Nadya, my bestiest, went to FX for a nite out.

and it all begins

Hiya!!

So this is my new blog. I'm not going to talk about boys, or works, or life in general here. There will be one topic that I will share with you guys here.

See, since I am developing an interest in fashion world, I think this is the best place to write about it. Actually, I've never been good with fashion. But like I said, style evolves as we do evolve. Hope that this blog could be a consistent record of my quest in fashion world.

See ya soon! :)
