Airport Outfit feat. UNIQLO Ultra Stretch Jeans

Traveling long hours might not what you have in mind when you're going somewhere far away. You might have packed what you need when you reach your destination, be it bikinis, winter coats, stilettos, and so on. But have you seriously considered your airport looks? In order to survive a long flight, we think you should. :)

// Points to Remember //

1. You want to feel comfortable because you're going to spend hours sitting / sleeping / trying to get along with your seat there. Therefore, comfort should come first.

2. You want to look stylish all the while being comfortable. Now why should I be stylish, you ask. "It's just for the airport. I'll BE stylish when I reach my destination". Nuh uh, you WANT to look good (or decent, at least) ALL the time, because boy, you never know who you might bump into. Could be an enemy or a prospective lover. Who knows?

2a. A derivative from point 2: it doesn't hurt to bring or put on some SOS items, such as hats, sunglasses or hair ties. This will save you from unwanted situations like puffy eyes from lack of sleep or messy-limp hair from too much sleep lol.

So what kind of outfit that combines both elements into one? Enter UNIQLO Ultra Stretch Jeans.

Quoted from UNIQLO's web about these stretchy pairs: "Leg-defining for the cleanest and skinniest silhouette - hugs snugly from thigh to ankle. You’ll always have ease of movement and the most perfect fit."

Sounds too good to be true for a pair of denim? Well, we're here to find out for the Airport Outfit Challenge -which requires both comfort and stylish look!

On Elle:  ZARA Cropped Brown Sweater & Brown Beanie | Jeffrey Campbell Everly Beige Cutout Boots | New Look Necklace

UNIQLO Ultra Stretch Color Jeans in Olive (Dark Green)

On Jess:  GOWIGASA Pastel Striped Sweater, Two Tones Postman Bag, Rayray Sunglasses | Shoes from Japan

UNIQLO Ultra Stretch Color Jeans in Khaki (Brown)

So, does it live up to its claim? Yes. Does it meet the requirements for the Airport Outfit Challenge? Gotta say YES!! It's been a long time since we treat ourselves to an awesome pair of jeans that brings comfort yet looks pretty as well. We mean, look at those colors! Perfect shade of olive green and khaki? Boy, do they know how we love earth colors... and considering how hard it is to find these colors on jeans (with great material as well), it must be our lucky day. The comfort level is amazing, too. The material is pretty thick, yet SOFT and elastic. Hate to pick up quotes, but it DOES 'hugs snugly from thigh to ankle' lol. Can't wait to put them on for our next flights and pair em with other outfits as well! :D

Now, do you know that UNIQLO is currently having this exciting event called "USJ Fit Model"? You get to have fun trying on a pair of Ultra Stretch Jeans of your choice (there are many color choices and various sizes), posing with it and get your pictures taken by a professional photographer on site, get your best pic printed for free AND (as if it's not enough) get the chance to WIN FREE USJ worth of IDR 499,000 or UNIQLO Shopping Vouchers!

Autumny Outfit

Hi guys! :D

Today's outfit is going to be more Autumny than usual, but I'm still wearing a short skirt because actually the weather is still hot in Jakarta (correction, it's always hot in here).

Fingers crossed this navy Tribal Sweater is going to join Gowigasa Family!!

Well, I guess a knitted beanie would definitely bring a more "Fall feel" to the outfit, but this bear-slash-cat hat is just too cute to resist!!!

(Charlie Bag in green from GOWIGASA). I've always had a thing for the combination of these colors (earth tones), maybe because I'm a Taurus (earth sign)? hehe

Pairing burgundy polkadot socks with JuneandJulia x ElleandJess shoes. I was planning to wear boots at first, but again, these shoes are cuter, so.

Vintage Classic Sunset

When trying to mix and match outfits, sometimes I start with picking one item that I really want to wear. After that, I just have to look for the rest of the items that are compatible with that key item (either the colors or the theme).

And today, the chosen one is this vintage bag in deep forest green.

The mustard top I'm wearing is Canyla Top from GOWIGASA, do you remember? It is from the old collection that's already sold out a long time ago. Thank Heaven I decided to keep one for myself :)

Love the swirl of my hair in this photo!

Highlight of the day! A must-have vintage bag in deep forest green –one of the new members to join GOWIGASA family! This is by far my favorite bag from Gowi (come in two different colors and they are both oh-so-LOVELY!! *faint*)

Wearing our shoes collaboration with June+Julia again! I don't know how many times I've worn them, they are just too yummy to resist :D

Alright, it's time to get back to work! Don't forget to visit our store, GOWIGASA –Stunning *NEW* collection just arrived today!! ;)♥
