Head to Toe Impromptu!!

Today is one of the days I don't have a clue what to wear...especially after a hectic weekend for me. A t-shirt or tank look is a no-brainer for me so I go for it!!  But even in my most relaxed look, I'd love to disguise the whole outfit as they are well thought put-together!! ........ 

How do I do that??

Accessories!!!  You know, hang bags, watches, sunglasses, hat, belt, shoes, smiles, and attitude.... ^O^ oh, and hair extensions!!

 

I found this leather belt at Nordi.  and it is quite interesting as it is a 2 sectors of color-block belt with attached leather string. It is actually quite blank at first sight but perfectly ties my tank+saggy pants look altogether. 

My Outfit Du Jour

1. Top: 

BCBG Generation sport-bra top

Michael Angel racer-back digital print sheer tank 

Mcginn skinny tuxedo vest (come with its blazer)

2. Bottom:

Suzuki Takayuki organic silk pants

3. Accessory:

color block leather belt with attached strings

Chanel 08' large black perforated Rodeo Drive tote (Still loving it so much)

4. Shoes:

Pixie Market

I probably can also wear my Hermes white CDC too!! 

After my rehearsal and Yu daughter's rehearsal last Saturday, two of us family took kids for a frozen yogurt treats. And both of us got hair clip-on extension for fun  .....which made our hubbies speechless...... lol.

Think accessories!!

Fun Day w/ Pei at Diesel and in My Wardrobe!! (Part 1)

Did I tell you that my friend, pei, has the most amazing deft of finding things in the best bargain even from past seasons!!? 

Yes, she is the kind of girl we all want to be friend with n' we are lucky to have her as one!!! 

And here is just one case: I bought my Lanvin Happy sac 08' at Barneys in full price w/ $150 GC but she found 2 in Nordi. after sale when SA told her that it was sold out!!!! @@ Not only she tracked down 2, she also bought them for $700 around. 1 for Ann and another one she kept for herself.......when my face all twisted w/ agony after she told me. Oh, just kidding!! She probably can be a private fashion detective if that's even considered as a job title!!!! ^O^ 

Since last season, I so want to find a pair of white booties, like a cut-out lace-up booties but w/o any luck.  Then Pei told me that she found two pairs of WHITE boots, tall n' short from Diesel but couldn't decide which one to keep. (Oh, just an update for her A. Wang bag. Thanks to your vote, Pei kept Gray one like mine at the end.) 

 WE love the pair on the mannequin w/ fringe. There my $30 Charles David booties w/ ribbon from past couple season which I  can wear even when it rains.  

What's good about the short fringe booties is that it is detachable so I simply tie it on mine for fun!!

That's an instant look update!!

Pei put on a leg warmer inside the short boots w/ the look of fringe removed!! It is much flattered on her calves!

 

Then Pei tie that fringe to another pair of LONG boots. 

We like the GRAYISH white color of both boots n' the versatile fringe. :)

We had so much fun at Diesel's store the other day.

An idea from Isabel that she'd pair the Stella MacCartney sequin racer-tank underneath which we both have.  Hum... sexy!!!
