B(l)ack to basics

My iPhone weather app lied. It was so sunny and we witnessed 3 wedding couples taking their pre-wedding shots at the Botanic Gardens! One couple was even wearing a muffler and scarves in the hot sun which I think they were pretending to be shooting these in Korea... I kid you not. Cue heatstroke...

Outfit: Black chiffon blouse, Taobao, White leather shorts, Oakham Market, T-bar Maryjanes, Online, Metal embroidery necklace c/o Oasap, Claw ring c/o The Phrenzy, Cross connector ring & Cobra connector ring, Taobao.

Many a time I've been 'forced' to wear the simple black shirt for really formal occasions (like working as an usher). Don't get me wrong, although I love colours, and basics in black or white colours really do match well with everything, the problem is that the outfit tends to get a little boring and safe in these monotone shades.

The solution? Jazz it up with coloured jewellery! Like this elegant cutout necklace that has floral motifs and a complex design that would make people stare at it to make sense of it (okay, or not, but the job is done anyway). Wear it below collared tops like I did or with tube tops and dresses.

Get the necklace here at Oasap, which is at USD$13 currently, more than 50% off the original price! They provide free worldwide shipping for every item.

Besides your neck, embellish your hands with connector, animal, floral etc etc rings! My favourite ring now is the claw ring by The Phrenzy which has preorders for clothing, accessories, shoes and bags at affordable prices! The ring is only selling at $4.50... buy more of them to look like many little monsters are crawling up your fingers. Get 25% off the second item and 50% off the third item, valid until 19th June!


Lastly, on a cautionary note, follow the above advice only if you are able to wear jewellery for said event!
