So my family left last Wednesday morning and it’s been a week since they’ve been gone. Never gets any easier. I’ve washed their dirty clothes and bedlinens but I’ve left them untouched in the guest bedrooms. Basically trying not to reset the rooms so that I can hold on as long as I can. It’s been so quiet and I’ve been all mopey. Save for a short trip to the grocery store and post office, I haven’t been out all week until today. T and I went to Benjarong – a thai restaurant near our house. So yay! Not in sad leggings and baggy sweatshirts today.

Fat-shionista #500

Hey after 500 outfits posts I’m still here and guess what? I’m still fat! I do feel somewhat fitter and healthier these days though. Since I’ve started the blog, I’ve been more conscious about staying upbeat and happy – frivolity is so underrated these days. These random outfit posts have served as an outlet to express… uhm I have no idea what but it makes me so lah dee dah happy just doing it. Also, the Not Your Average Women shoots I do on my little iPhone at the interviewee’s homes are still inspiring me. I’ve quit smoking, drinking and am a vegetarian (in general… I wouldn’t reject a broth made with meat if you slaved over it and served it to me at your home or pick out bits of bacon out of a salad lovingly made just for me. I just won’t consume flesh when I have a choice.) AND… here’s the thing… I turn 35 in exactly 1 month! Yup so this is 35. Take a look, feel free to gawk.

When I was growing up, 35 meant tight short curly hair, bright red lipstick, 3 kids, a husband, 2 family cars, a mountain of bills, and no social life. Guess I kinda-sorta hit some of those “targets”. *koffkoff* Life has been kind. I’ve been blessed with so many trustworthy close friends that if in a pinch and I need to delete a porn stash (if any… no really there aren’t and this is where it gets boring right?), I can count on them not to judge me. Also I have my family (and the would-be new family stateside). My career has been exciting and I’ve loved my work as well as enjoyed the company of my colleagues. In fact, I look forward to socialising at work everyday. Best of all, I’ve never had a boss or superior I didn’t like. I feel like I’ve been riding on a high, especially with my current job.

Yes life has been good and it’s getting better, especially with T. But if you wish to help make my life more beautiful, please head over to my Amazon Wishlist and buy me something for my birthday (or save the link for Christmas, maybe?). You have a month to save up and plan (I do tweak it every so often so don’t buy just yet.) I thank you from the bottom of my heart in advance. Much love. Heh.

Anyhooos… here’s the outfit I’m wearing to commemorate my 500th post (actually it’s what I wore to work today. HEH):

Top: Black/White polka dot top from UNIQLO x Lulu Guinness

Bottom: Black custom tea length tulle skirt from MTcoffinzUnderground on etsy.com

Accessories: Black straw weave belt with gold shell buckle from FRENCH CONNECTION; Handmade paper heart “Once Upon A Time” brooch from Lost In The Forest on etsy

Footwear: Black ASHIKA SCOOPED BALLET flats from ROCKPORT

Most people did a double-take. Yes it’s that same dress from yesterday. I have however dressed it up differently than yesterday and I think that with the right accessorizing, it makes a world of a difference!

This is the Twisted Front & Back Dress sponsored by the nice people at FLOW. I’ve received many compliments in this dress. People think I look dressier than usual and some pointed out that it’s very flattering. (I reckon it’s the twisty bits disguising my lumps.)

The colour description says it’s BLUE but really, it look like a teal green in person. My camera doesn’t seem to capture it and it does turn out rather blue. I’m a little puzzled about this. Nonetheless, a great colour!

What I’m wearing today:

Dress: Teal Twisted Front & Back Dress by FLOW

Accessories: Gold triangle plate earrings from GOGO PHILIP; Gold shell buckle belt from FRENCH CONNECTION

Footwear: Brown hidden wedge heels from ZIPIA

Here’s another quickie! What am I saying? They are all quickies and I never spend more than 10 minutes from taking pictures to writing up a post. How do bloggers spend all their time doing this? I am always so distracted and busy.

And this is a dress I’ve only worn once. I bought it to wear to my friend Patsy’s wedding last November. Her only instructions to the brides maids were to wear a pink dress so everyone did their own variation.

What I’m wearing today:

Dress: Coral 3/4 sleeved skater dress from eBay. (Tags were cut off even though it was brand new)

Leggings: Black opaque tights from DOROTHY PERKINS

Accessories: Owl ring from ACCESSORIZE (gift from Tamares); Gold and silver bangles from FRENCH CONNECTION; Cloud and lightning bolt brooch from MADEBYWHITE; Pink crocheted frosted cookie from TWINKIECHAN

Footwear: Black wedge pumps from ZIPIA

Yoohoooo! Howdy doody? It’s been a few days and I’ve been busy with a) crocheting Christmas gifts b) preparing for my GE WOMEN 10km run next Sunday c) getting ready for my holiday to watch Radiohead in Melbourne and d) Weddings weddings weddings (not mine of course)

Today’s WTFW is a new one from ASOS. It comes in black and pink, and I have BOTH! I love it so much!!! Unfortunately the pink one is in a small UK14 and really, it doesn’t fit, so… It’s gonna sit in my closet for a while. Well, until I get tired of it and give it away (or sell it) or finally lose enough weight to fit into it (HAH! Like that’d happen soon enough)

I have to wear this dress again! The weather is so dark and gloomy, it’s too difficult to get a good photo of this gorgeous dress

What I’m wearing today:

Dress: Black rosette skater dress from ASOS

Accessories: Stack of 5 gold & silver metal bangles from FRENCH CONNECTION; Diamond & sapphire ring & pendant (gift from mum); OMEGA Seamaster bracelet watch

Footwear: Nude hidden wedge pumps from FROMTHEHEEL on eBay

Thanks to XH for taking these photos!
