Back to School Look

Gosh this blog is just a waste of virtual space. Haven't updated in ages. It's not like I have stopped doing any shopping or anything paper-craft-related or sewing for the last couple of months. The sewing part, that might be true. Though I've completed my first sewing project I wrote about in the previous post, my mom demanded that I post it to her right away and I did without having the chance to snap a few pictures of it first.

On shopping. Well, of course I've been shopping. Have you guys been breathing? Hehe. I've been having fun experimenting with a few new styles too and it's too bad I haven't posted any of them here. Not that any of you (most of which are imaginary readers, you know, like how kids have imaginary friends) care. It's just that I've promised myself at the start of the year to document what I wear. And it's June already.

Oh well. Let's see it as a glass half-full : There's another 6 months left of this year.

Problem is, my camera's pretty crappy and there's no photographer (well there is my housemate but I'm too shy to pose for her *gedik*) around who is willing to layan me and plus, I get super awkward for that kind of photoshoot anyway that will end up in cringe-worthy pictures. Not worth it. Haha.

Thank God for the internet. You'll find anything your heart desires. Even a virtual wardrobe which you can experiment with like Polyvore.

It's been raining non-stop and I was stuck wearing boring clothes for the past week: jeans, T-shirt, sweater. Yesterday, I decided to dump the routine and don a maxi skirt instead, lo and behold, I noticed my mood considerably improved a notch and being stuck in the lab didn't seem too depressing after all. So, yeah, I intend to go with the flow and dress up a bit after this, even if I have to start working with pig manure pretty soon.

Nerdy Chic

I actually have the exact same skirt ;). Unfortunately that's the only actual item I can find in the database. I have this white shirt that I rarely wear, because it's quite loose and being white, I was afraid that it would add bulk to the torso area but for this look, that white shirt is perfect. I would probably just button the middle part of the shirt, to bring a more casual vibe. Since everything else is low key, I think I'll go with a red scarf. And as for the bag, mine is quite similar, minus the cow's skull of course.

So there you go, my first Polyvore. We'll see if this sticks.
