[OOTD] Cropped Talks



Denim jacket: Dorothy Perkins Crop top: h&mPants: Zara Furry earrings: Louvisa Pointed flats: PazzionBag: Tocco Tenerro 


As a larger girl, I tend put myself in a box when it comes to clothing. I have this unrealistically long list of clothes to avoid versus another that ideally fits what a fat girl should wear. Growing up, I was shamed because my size was always on the larger side of the scale. Over the years of being conditioned by society and people around me that I should cover up - crop tops, tanks tops, bikinis, tulle skirts essentially became part of this avoid list. Along the way, I've unknowingly only wore pieces that covered or somehow hide body parts I didn't want people to draw attention to. I could vividly recall from my younger days dressing from head to toe in black just to stay hidden and because they say loud colors and fat people don't go well together. All of that background noise sure didn't help in positively projected my body and my self-image at all.

Fast forward to today, I'm still working on myself. There'd be days that I accidentally let myself slip into that downward spiral because of what someone said but I've learned to not dwell on it for days anymore. Through this process, I've discovered one of my favorite YouTuber & body positivist Meghan Tonjes. She's one of my role models and this video was what inspired to put together this outfit, everything that I have illogical fears of. The next time someone makes an unwanted comment about your body, you can choose to ignore it or just end it in a true Tonjes style 'Congratulations, you have eyes.'

My All Time Favourite.

There is something in my closet that I can't help but to keep repeating and I will never get tired of... And that is the light washed chambray top.  The light washed chambray top is my current favourite piece in my wardrobe because I feel that it is so versatile and it can go with almost any clothing. It could be used as a good layering piece or even worn on it's own~ Paired my chambray shirt with this oxblood skater skirt.  Chambray shirt (Cotton On)//Oxblodd skater skirt (Cotton On)//Suede Fringe Bag (GMarket)//Espirit Watch (Mom's)//Thin skinny belt (Dorothy Perkins)//Bracelets (Hand-made)//Leopard hair bow (Diva) Wore my chambray shirt over a pastel orange skirt.  Chambray shirt (Cotton On)//Pastel orange skirt (ASOS)//Pastel bow hair clip (BKK)//Bag(Charles & Keith)// Espirit watch (Mom's)//Bangles (Lovisa) This time, I wore my chambray shirt as an outer wear with my favourite leopard dress.

Hello! I'm back again after a week of intense revision for mid-terms for law. How have everyone been? This week had been hectic because of all the revision that I had to do, I hardly have time to sleep or even watch my favourite T.V shows. :S But all was good this week.. This was what I've been up to for the week. So thankful that the test went pretty well and I'm so done with it! Nail of the Week! If you know me well enough you'd know that I do manicures and pedicures myself. My favourite brand of nail polish is O.P.I even though I do use nail polishes from other brands as well. O.P.I will always be my ultimate favourite. These two colours are my current favourites and I've used the pink one consecutively two weeks. Left: NL M14 (I'm All Ears) & NL Z19 (Glitzerland) Both the colors are so beautiful that I couldn't make up my mind which to use. So I used both colors on the hands. Outfit of the week! This was what I wore to school on M...

Inspirations Coming at the Weirdest Timing.

Yes, it is another Urban Decay product.  I guess I'm someone who likes a certain product from a brand, I would perceive that brand as  good and would wanna try the other products from the brand. That's the case for Urban Decay. After owning a few products by them, I tend to have the urge to wanna sweep everything off their shelf when I'm at Sephora.  This purchase was done a few months back, haven't got the chance to post a review on it because I was stuck and I didn't know how to continue writing my content. God knows how many drafts have I accumulated till now.  I always have inspiration and ideas on what to write but then, sometimes it just wouldn't spark.  This box of eyeliner is somewhat an impulse buy, I went into Sephora without any intention to buy but once the word 'Sales' hit me. Damn, that's the keyword that all I ever need.  But oh well, I still didn't get a discount in the end because I forgot to flash my e-mail to ...
