Transitional Look for Fall: Blue + Gem Green, an oversized shirt as a jacket!

You can see how much I love Gem Green + Blue of this season's trendy color combination. As a matter of fact, I am officially a greenie. {You know, eat lots of organic greens, recycle stuff, buy local, .... blah blah, ... but I still need to work on harder on the carnival side of me. } This Haider Ackermann oversized gem-green shirt certainly is worthy every penny. I can now wore it as a long cardigan/jacket for extra fanciness and flowy. 

I love the luxury look and softness of a satin shirt! 

 Off the street sequined heart tank (I sewed the metal-teeth roses on by myself and cut off the sleeves to wear it as a tank), H&M short-sleeves blazer with oversized collar, Haider Ackermann oversized shirt, Catherine Malandrino trousers, Hermes white CDC bracelet, Givenchy Tinhan studs hobo, Christian Louboutine fringe booties 

 Louboutine booties is always sexy~~

 Like I said, sometimes, complication is the solution to wear your past-season clothes. 

Tonight is the time for my Zumba work-out routine. 

{Zumba shirt, Agnes' b sports green leggings, Asics running shoes... I love the wide-toe design shoes for dancing.}

Enrich Your look in colors!!

2011 A/W Trend Elements!!

The influx of emails from the shopping sites and new season's trends' alert almost paralyze my mail box. I mean, I almost have to delete at least 50 mails everyday just so I can read the rest of seem-to-be relatively important emails. {No, I certainly don't like seeing even 1 email alert which reminds me I might omit something important. } Well, is there something like "information left-out panic" phrases exist? I probably will be diagnosed with such syndrome if it does exist. lol I have CNN appl. on my iPhone and it gives "big news" alert everyday which makes me feel that I am not being left-out from the world or be such an illiterate myself. 


Anyway, I was talking on the phone with my friend, Isabel, the other day that how she decided to sell some of her old/past season clothes and how to "get inspired" by me!! Well, she said, she should be like me, wearing newly-bought clothes right away in the future in case she even forgets that she had that piece. Then, she should wear every single piece in her closet at least once every season to make full use of them. As far as her plan is concern, it sounds flawless and I am sure she needs a lot of inspiration from me from now on.... lol. 


Here is what I came up with from my past season clothes which def. can walk me into this fall trend fabulously. Hopefully, you might as well get more ideas when recycling or restyling from your wardrobe. 


Element 1: Sheer, or see-through whatever shirt or leggings or skirt.... { make sure your underpants/bras is cute as well.. ^O^}


Element 2: Pendent necklace 


Element 3: Wide leg jeans {this is forever fabulous piece}


Element 4: platform heels.....

Element 5: Satin .... something 

Element 6: forest green

Element 7: a nice tailored shirt 

Element 8: leopard .. {never enough} 

I altered this satin green dress and bottom Dolce Vita jegging into ONE-PIECE Jumper!!

{I am very tired of the satin dress and the bottom jegging but couldn't bear the thoughts of feeling pity if I throw them away so I have my seamstress sew them together.}



{Now this one-of-a-kind jumper is very convenient and I don't have to worry about how to tuck the shirt in seamlessly}
