THE WEEK THAT WAS: Tops

Quoting Marilyn Monroe, imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. I, on my part, think that I'm on the brink of being boring. I never did change my choice for bottoms. As to make up for this, I choose rather the dainty and playful pieces in whatever I put on for the rest.

   

Pretty blouses and accessories make me happy. Getting them at cheap price doubles the fun! 

Just a run through (of pat of details, or the lack thereof! haha):

FIRST: Wearing lace top is one way to feel sexy in spite of conservative-ism. Heavy lace much so.

One of those few days I wear slippers. I arrived at my apartment in slippers since I forgot to bring my sandals. I changed to formal ones for work, of course.

black x white and washed denim

SECOND: I will never get tired of anything floral!

B&W! The necklace you see is the bronze necklace I got from the house bazaar.

THIRD: Just want to say hi to my 2nd Anna Sui (watercolor feather dress) from that house bazaar also.

lovely ruffled shoulder cover

FOURTH: Cotton On cropped shirt. As much as I love prints, I love stripes as well. More so, inkling of studs.

studded belt

FIFTH: Denim over denim! As to pay attention to details, this light-weight denim blazer has cute little flowers when folded. 

sorry, not ironed!

HOUSE BAZAAR! HOUSE BAZAAR!

I love going to bazaars. It's where you'll find unique and good-priced items you won't find in malls --same through with thrift shops, it's just that items in bazaars are almost always brand new.

Just this week, my friend and I went to Kim's, person behind "Fashionistas on a Budget", house bazaar. If you're an e-bay bidder, you might know her as "kimkong0907" where I found her, by the way. She has one of the best boxes of US goods of accessories and clothes, as well as, authentic designer clothes. I tried to haggle by bidding a couple of times on e-bay but it seems I couldn't beat the drive others' had. I didn't have ample time to check if I've been outbid and so I didn't get anything from her. 

Not until I saw that she will open her house for shopping. We went; and I bought 3 long tops, 1 cropped shirt, and 1 really nice bronze necklace. They're a bit pricey but I purchased them anyway. My friend purchased 2 dresses and 1 really nice Gap bag of good deal! 

AY YAY AY STUFF: Photos that might excite you, fellow shopper!

I've been wanting to have that H&M necklace for a very long time. I had the chance to take hold of it. I didn't purchase it, though, since I wanted white details instead of turquoise. :( OH WELL!

nice house and really great stuff!

Clothes --tops, dresses, blazers, and all sorts!

 More accesories!

There are shoes and sandals as well; mostly on sizes 8/9 --my size, I didn't like anything, though.

That bin contains lots of BNWT items!!

I'll post 'em photos of my purchases some time, perhaps! ;-)
