You wanna get young but you're just getting older And you had a fun summer but it's suddenly colder If you want a bit of love put your head on my shoulder It's cool Labels: music, tuesday tunes Do you ever have one of those days where you just wanna do nothing but catch up with your friends and not do anything you're suppose to do? This whole month was pretty much like that for me although I have been studying consistently. Ugh, what a downer. On with the outfits: 
Forever 21 sweater, Cotton On velvet skirt, F Block belt
Mixing texture is fun and is able to add a new twist to the day to day cotton and denim combo. Try matching up leather and velvet or nylon and knit.
Bazaar bought t-shirt, Kitschen jeans and Ked's shoes
It was one of those days where you don't give a shit about what you wear as long as you feel comfortable. You can never go wrong with a basic graphic t-shirt (in my case, Teen Wolf forever!) and jeans. Never.
Cotton On denim shirt with leather collar, Forever 21 pants and ballet flats
The flats don't exactly go well with the outfit but it was comfortable. This particular denim shirt was a tad oversized so I decided to tuck it in into my favorite pair of maroon pants. I swear, Forever 21 has the most comfortable pants.
Since the rest of my outfit pictures are terrible, here are some random snapshots in the past couple of weeks:
 
New mates that never fail to make me smile.
 
Ex-classmates that I've known since I was 13.
Friends that I will always appreciate.
Kyoto Protocol was the opening act before Delphic.
Strokes, forever and ever.
iPhone BFFs, one last FaceTime before my lumps leave for NS (again).
Till then, live long & prosper!

How fast time flies. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that we're in the fourth week of April already. Can you guys believe it?
For the second week of college, I've dressed fairly casual because I am never a morning person. So having to wake up at 6am three times a week is definitely taking a toll on me. Not to mention the amount of reading material we have. It has been a great week though. Anyway, let's get on with it!
Monday
 
Thrifted Lou Reed T-shirt, Forever 21 Pants, P & Co. Cardigan and Bazaar Bought Spiked Shoes
Came across this Lou Reed t-shirt at a nearby charity shop and I couldn't pass it up. It was soft and had a tag on it, which means that it hasn't been worn. Bought it with a maxi skirt for only RM8. A steal, for sure. Paired it up with my cardigan for that extra warmth when in class.
Tuesday
Birthday Gift Necklace, Cotton On Tank Top & Printed Shorts, Thrifted Denim Jacket,
Keds, Rookie Yearbook One
It was bloody hot on Tuesday. I swear I could fry an egg on the pavement but hey, I don't cook. Wore the tank top and shorts on the way to class and popped on the jacket when it got cold. I think the necklace gave it a beachy vibe in a way, I really like it because it has a shell like quality to it. And my copy of Rookie is finally here! Filled with positive psychedelic vibes all week thanks to its arrival.
Wednesday
Bazaar Bought Crop Top, H&M High Waisted Skirt, Bershka Tote, Keds
I'm not promoting the drink in anyway whatsoever, it was just another warm day and I felt like multitasking. Abusing my all time favorite skirt from H&M and Keds till the day it gives up on me. Surprisingly, this particular skirt has lasted for a few years now. The elasticity around the waist is going strong and I hope it stays that way.
Thursday
Rolling Stones Sweater from Japan, Kitschen Jeans
Wore this outfit with my Keds. This was a cheat outfit as I was too lazy to come up with something else. It happens. Tip: Tuck it in and cuff. That's the trick to not look like a slob.
Friday
 
Pestle & Mortar Top, Kitschen Shorts, Cotton On Bag, Keds
I don't own a lot of flats and I'm very particular when it comes to shoes, so bear with me you guys. Had an extra class on Friday, so off to school I went. This PMC top is one of my absolute favorites because of the cut and simplicity of it. I got it after FMFA and I do not regret splurging on it one bit. Behind it is the complete list of acts that were present in a shape of a wau. Props to PMC for incorporating traditional aspects to something so current.
That's all guys. A friendly reminder to cap off this post:

Call It Fate, Call It Karma is unlike any other song by The Strokes. It's direct about wanting to stand in the light of someone special, waiting around for him/her... Whenever I listen to this, I imagine a couple dancing by the fireplace to the high pitch crooning of Julian Casablancas on a gramophone. Take a listen and perhaps fall in love.

As I am absolutely sure that I will be furthering my studies in the States (yearning for the big ol' American dream), I've decided to sign up for the American Degree Transfer Programme. My first month would consist of 2 subjects, that is English and Psychology. A good start to something so foreign.
Day 1: Orientation  
Pestle & Mortar Tee, Forever 21 Jeans, Bazarro Watch, Ked's Shoes
Decided on something basic for orientation because comfort is key for me when in unfamiliar territory. I felt like myself in this outfit and it was a good although mundane start to my life on campus.
Day 2 
Top from Hong Kong, Topshop Skirt, Cotton On Cardigan
This photo wasn't meant to be uploaded on my blog but I've decided to document my looks. I thought this look would be a nice balance to the whole combination climate I would have to cope with. (Cold classrooms, crazy heat outside) The cardigan is optional, so I tied it around my waist when I'm outside. Paired it with my Keds for practical reasons.
Day 3 
Top & Shoes from Malacca, Contrast Sleeve Jacket & Printed Pants from Cotton On
My ultimate go to jacket, that was a steal at RM30, goes with everything and it adds that extra punch for every look. Since I wore printed pants, I avoided all complex tops and stuck to this sleeveless button down for a more collegiate look. The color contrast was unexpected but blended well. Be bold and experiment you guys! You never know unless you try.
Unfortunately I didn't document day 4's outfit. You guys aren't missing out on much anyways, so no worries. These outfit posts will be a weekly update since one of my New Year's resolution is to blog more. For now, I bid you all adieu. Labels: college, daily look, what I wore |
