Fashion Forward

It seems that no matter how many times I run out of hangers in my closet over and over again, I still face the eternal problem of standing in front of it every morning and scratching my head over the outfit of the day. 

Yes, I admit I have been letting myself go lately, partly because when you have ballooned in size, nothing really looks good anymore...partly also because it's just too damn hot to bother wearing anything besides a pair of shorts and any floaty top in Singapore. 

But with this recent craze, I have never been more desperate to get my hands on a pair of these. 

Culottes....

Yes, I realise they have been around for a while. Yes, I am a tad slow. But it's never too late to start. 

Although, if you pause for a second, are we really going fashion forward....or backward. 


But hey, you gotta admit even back then, these two girls were probably the funkiest of their crowd. They could really pull off that baggy bottomed look. 


And contrary to popular belief, orange is definitely one of my favourite colours when it comes to dressing up...or down. My favourite pair of vermilion skinny minis from GAP are still going strong as a staple in my work wardrobe. Now if only I could get my hands on a pair like these... 


And how incredibly chic are these girls here??? I love how pairing it with a pair of pointy-toed stilettos instantly transforms something casual into something that looks work-worthy. 

And call me a daredevil, but I would wear this to work any day. 

Yes, while most of the world is having a love affair with culottes at the moment, I have managed to scrounge a pair from Zara, after much deliberating - I only wish I had a wider range to choose from that would fall just perfectly below the knee or if only I were that much taller. 

Ah, retail therapy. Looking so forward to dappling in much of it again in London. 

And suddenly, everything is alright again :)
