Chasing Deadlines

Hi, today's post is going to be a quick one as I've got a lot of deadline work to be done. Currently Jess and I are pretty busy working on GOWIGASA's new website and arrival. I know it's been a while since our last collection (sorry ><!) but we really want everything to be perfect so you can shop a lot more convenient with us! Hope you understand, muah! :)

Warm Feel

GOWIGASA Floral Denim Cropped Top | H&M Tan Pants | Topshop Oversized Cardigan | Forever21 Bag | Decimal Shoes Heels

Yes, I wore this floral denim cropped top again, but instead of pairing it with other pastel colors like the last time, today I mixed it with earth-tone colors to give it a warm feel.

Anyway don't you just looove the color of my pants? I got it from H&M for like IDR 160K / USD 16 only!! xD

Moving on to the outerwear...

This oversized cardigan is one of my favorite outerwears, ever. I'm so obsessed with it that I carry it with me almost everywhere I go. It keeps me warm and I just love the fuzzy and soft fabric which I think is perfect for snuggling up! Plus, the color is neutral so it goes with whatever colors you like without looking too much. :)

LION, TURTLE, AND LEOPARD

Turtlenecks have been my obsession lately, especially when they are cropped like this one I'm wearing! Been loving it when I first saw it on American Apparel website, and I was so happy when I found it in Topshop that I bought them in 3 colors right away <3 You've probably seen one of them in my post here.

Today I paired it with this rad leopard print pants from The Editor's Market which I find super comfortable and fit my body really well, especially in the waist part. Love it!

For accessories, I went with my favorite gold lion pendant necklace from GOWIGASA and I also put on a black belt to accentuate my waist.

I'm one of those people who get cold easily, that's why I always bring an outerwear when going out... just in case.

The same backpack with the one I was wearing here and here :)

Got nothing but LOVE for this gorgeous platform boots <3

How do you view money in life?

I view money as a very important factor in life, but it's not the most important. As a Taurus woman I always need security and stability, so I think of money as an instrument for assuring of a good living :D

So yeah, that's that. Thank you for reading, and please leave a comment below on how do you view money in your life, I'd love to know! :)

"As you go through life you'll see there is so much that we don't understand."

–Lion King

The answer I've come to recently is the same old story in human history – there's simply so much that we still don't understand... even ourselves. There is so much to learn in this life and so much to experience, that's what makes it so interesting. Be curious, explore, learn and share. :)

SMILE, BABY, SMILE.

Start every day with a smile and get it over with. –W.C. Fields

"Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day."

A smile is a curve that sets everything straight. –Phyllis Diller

"Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it."

A smile is an inexpensive way to change your looks. –Charles Gordy

Beauty is power; a smile is its sword. –Charles Reade

"A smile is a powerful weapon; you can even break ice with it."

"Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy."

The last quote is one of the quotes that stays on my mind. I first read it from "The Secret"; the book basically says that everything that happens to us is the result of what we have thought. Think positive and we will attract positivity into our lives.

But how can we think positive thoughts when we are down? Well, the book suggests us to SMILE.

When we smile, our brain will automatically think of the good memories, like it can 'activate' happy centres in the brain– and thus will make us feel happy. Force it and try to hold it for one minute or so, I always do it when I'm upset and it works like magic! :)

I hope you get what I'm trying to say hehee... If you don't, I strongly recommend you to read the book (The Secret). It will change your whole life in a good way.

Trench Coat: 2 Ways

#1

As the title said, I am going to show you how to wear a trench coat in two ways. The first way here is more of a feminine-vintagey style, I think? :)

Trench Coat from Japan | GOWIGASA Navy Vintage Dress | GOWIGASA Bag | Pull and Bear Burgundy Hat | Inspired by Luce Flower Crown | Unbranded Shoes | GOWILENS Contact Lenses

#2

Style number two is more casual and playful with all the patterns and colors. I also wore my new favorite black boots from Cozbest, which I think complete the whole look. Thank you, Cozbest!
