" Neon Stripe "

March 18th, 2014, Tuesday

On a beautiful Sunday morning, I woke up to this neon maxi dress which was totally a surprise to me since i have no idea my mom and little sis been working on it whole morning. Well i woke up quite late since i watched long-time-no-give-a-shit Korea drama series last night till dawn for a change as i was so tied up with Sherlock Holmes for quit a while. I had so much fun enjoying my full weekend off & weekdays after work evening by staying in, watching series. That's a total strange thing to me as i'm a miss always going out.A little confession's here, I kind of miss my former Singapore life: late night parties, shopping with friends, yummy foods, plenty choice of outdoor activities, beer-ING at river side, fast 3G, up to date ibook store in my ipad and unlimited fabulous spot to take #ootd pictures and etc. etc. Here in Yangon, i'm feeling too uneasy to fit in the society i was away for real long. but i'm fully blessed having my family back and being with always the warmest family besides. Now i don't need to wake up early for standing MRT ride, unnecessary spending on lunch and dinner since i don't cook and dealing with those full of bullshits, funny accents sa lone and those lonely homesick hours. So as to conclude, i'll just take it as a price i have to give for my easy, comfortable life and good title challenging and full of opportunities work i got here. 

Back to my stripe colorful neon maxi dress my sister made it for me, god! I have to admit she's talented over making dress and designing which is so convenient for a fashion freak like me obviously. I don't shop for cloths here too often because dresses those cheap are way too simple and trendy ones are way too expensive. So Mostly in my closet these days are all full with me, my sister and mom cooperative works. I'm so glad to have my girls around. The whole idea of my blog is not for the riches those are easily able to afford designer dresses but for majority of girls out there those want to be fashionable but don't want to spend much on it. It's all about mix and matching so simple some tips will do as follows. 

Design 

Get the design inspiration from your choice of some actress and fashionistas on social media page and magazine, change it into something you could wear, something more of your type. Let your creativity works. 

Fabric choice

The most important basic thing, one wrong choice of fabric and the whole idea of ur dress could be changed. It happens always to me. Be careful with it. 

Color mix and matching 

Always observe the trendy color mixing. We are no longer in a black and white or only same colors match era. Every colors can be used in this matching games. Have more fun with colors. 

Details

Give more attention on details and that'll make your dress different from others but it doesn't mean you have to put so many details on the dress. Highlight some and make it stunning to get easily noticed. 

Accessories 

Fundamental fun part of styling, your dress is nothing without matching shoes, bags, hair style and accessories. They are the enhancer of your dress, never underestimate the power of accessories. 

I hope it helps to some extend, i'll elaborate more in my upcoming posts too. On Sunday evening, i have a 68 residence official launch dinner at park royal hotel where I learnt so much about high end luxury condo and residence project in Yangon and highly motivated by seeing and meeting all those rich and successful people. I decided to wear my newly sewed neon dress and match with my black miu miu wallet and H&M wadges. For accessories, i chose my american diamond heart shaped rings and fancy diamond bracelets to go with as the dress itself looks too fancy. I did a mini outfit photo shoot before dinner on the way at Kan Taw Gyi park for the first time. I take my fancy purple sun glass from Rubi out since it match with dress and sun is shining bright outside. Closer look into dress details, it's actually separate sleeveless cropped top and maxi skirt under which will be very useful to mix and match when i wear it again. Overall, i love the dress and had a great evening except the part that i look super thin in each and every photos. I Hate myself for making so many excuses to hit the gym lately. To achieve a balanced life style, i'm seriously in need of urgent strict schedule.
