Orange & Grey

Have you ever found some great deals at the flea market? I did with this skirt. I got it for US$3. Yes, seriously! It's a Gap skirt too. It takes some work sometimes to weed through to find nicer pieces, but the cost is the best part. I've found some really nice clothes from the flea market and some were even brands I knew. I've gotten a few Gap, H&M, Banana Republic and other brand name items and all for less than US$5.

It may be second hand but unless I told you, you'd never know. It's like getting hand me downs from an older relative. Some people turn their noses up to thrift shopping but as long as it looks fine, I have no issue. The savings benefit is definitely something to smile about. ^_^ and you can take THAT to the bank! You just have to check that there are no visible tears or snags and that the buttons and zips are good.

No frills

This is one of my favourite tops. I love the print. I love that it has so many colours in it. I love the ladylike ruffles/frills that it has. I love the ruffled cap sleeves.

I of course wore a jacket with this outfit for work, so as to not violate the dress code but had to take a picture without the jacket.

Animal Print & Fuschia

I love me some animal print. ^_^

I wanted to add some colour to this outfit, to brighten it up. I added this cardigan. I love cardigans. They are appropriate for work and aren't rigid. hey also come in very handy for me as this top is actually sleeveless and I wouldn't be able to wear it to work ordinarily. They can add some more mileage to your wardrobe.

L&L- Lavender & Leopard

This is an ensemble from my "out of commission" days aka when I couldn't wear heels. 

I was feeling a bit low key when I selected the clothes but wanted to jazz up the outfit with my accessories. Leopard wasn't the first thing that came to my mind but with a limited selection of flats, I thought why not leopard. I am wearing a black pants and I tied in the yellowy colour with the belt and earrings. Voila!

Shirt- Old Navy (sale, S$14)
Pants- H&M (flea market, US$4)
Shoes- Bandolino (Marshalls, US$30)

Throwing shade- Black & White

Now I love to wear black especially black on top and bottom. Hmm, love me some black ^_^. Not to mention wearing black AND white. It's such a great pairing. It's often debated as to whether black and white are colours and that they are shades.

In scientific terms, black & white are not colours. White is a mix of all colours as it reflects colour. Light appears colourless or white. Sunlight is white light that is composed of all the colors of the spectrum. A rainbow is proof. You can't see the colors of sunlight except when atmospheric conditions bend the light rays and create a rainbow. You can also use a prism to demonstrate this.

Black is the absence of all colours in terms of light, when there is no light everything is black. The debate can go on and on. 

By wearing both colours, I'm essentially throwing 'shade'. It's a Southern term that is defined by the Urban Dictionary to throw shade is "to talk trash about a friend or acquaintance, to publicly denounce or disrespect. When throwing shade it's immediately obvious to on-lookers that the thrower, and not the throwee, is the bitchy, uncool one.

All these Atlanta shows have me picking up the different terminologies.

When I saw this sweater I thought it was co cute- classy yet not stuffy. What I really love about this sweater is that it looks like a jacket. Since I was wearing it to work I thought I would dress it up with some pearls. A girl can never go wrong adding some pearls to finish her outfit. Of course, I had to wear these shoes to jazz up the outfit even more.
