Out of the Blue

There is nothing better than pulling on a pair of boyfriend jeans and a casual tee for a lazy day! It's been a long time since the last time I wore low-rise jeans. It felt weird at first, but after a while it felt really comfortable. :)

I also wore this electric blue coat to brighten up the whole look. And to add even more color, I added this Fluoro Panel Clutch from The Editor's Market. I really love how bright the color is and I think the design is very futuristic! 8D

For shoes, I slipped into my blue wedges because I don't want to look too sloppy hehe..

LOL, added some balloons with photoshop because I have no idea what the hell my left hand was doing floating like that.

COINCIDENCE // Kristine's Collection Giveaway! (CLOSED)

Kristine's Collection blue textured blazer | Topshop polkadot high-waisted skirt | Amber Avenue aztec bralette | Gowigasa gold spike necklace | Marc by Marc Jacobs bag | Steve Madden cobalt blue wedges

No idea what my left hand is doing there...

Coincidences happen to us all the time; and the most recent one that happened to me is this outfit you just saw up there.

It started when an online store from Singapore, Kristine's Collection, kindly offered to be my blog sponsor. I was very excited because not only their collection is a treat for the eye, but you can also see that the fabric is well-made and the cutting is excellent as well!

...and boy was I right. When the package has arrived, without further ado, I tried them one by one and they ALL fit my body perfectly! Especially the blue textured blazer that immediately made its way to my "Favorite Outerwear" list.

What I had in mind at that moment was, "I want to pair it with printed bottoms." And so there you go, I picked out my Topshop polkadot high-waisted skirt and my new Aztec Bralette from Amber Avenue; then the next morning before I went to Plaza Indonesia, I took a few shots of the outfit to post it on my (neglected) blog.

On my way to the mall, I browsed Kristine's Collection web store to see if there were any new arrivals, but instead I found this –a list of photos from fashion bloggers who has featured Kristine on their blogs. One of them is Tricia Gosingtian (one of my favorite fashion bloggers) who really surprised me to the core. She wore this exact blue blazer and she also paired it with polkadot print bottoms!! I was like... "WHAT.IS.THIS!!?" and I was thinking about changing the bottoms and redo the shoot all over again because I was afraid I would be accused of copying her! But after a lot of thought and consideration, I just laughed it off as it is pure coincidence that comes at a completely shitty time.

Kindly join our new GIVEAWAY on Facebook (Elle and Jess) to win IDR 150.000 worth of Kristine's Collection E-Vouchers!! ;D♥

ps. You will need to login to your Facebook account first! :)

Color Me Brightly!

I don't know how many times I've said this, but I LOVE wearing colorful outfits! It's always FUN playing with colors –mixing and matching one color with another. Not to mention that wearing them can enhance my mood and lighten up my day!

Steve Madden's Cobalt Wedges –available in this color and shocking pink. Grab them before they are gone!

TIPS 
(on wearing bright-colored or colorful outfits):

Confidence is KEY!

Choose colors that complement each other.

This is The Color Wheel which will help to inspire creative color combinations. Print it out and stick it to your wall so you can refer to it when putting together an outfit.

Keep your accessories and make up to a minimum for a well-balanced look.

For the first timers, try to match at least two colors –one neutral and one bright. (Black and Red, for example)

In case you are worried to look too-colorful-i-look-like-a-clown, you might want to choose 'neighboring colors' in the Color Wheel. (Pink and Purple, for instance)

Safe choice of colors. (Little White Dress from GOWIGASA)

Good luck and don't be afraid to stand out! ;)
