We're Alright

Top: thrifted / Shorts: Romwe / Shoes: Zara / Bag: Alexander Wang / Earrings: SM Accessories / Lips: MAC Rebel

If you attended the Bloggers United Bazaar Part 5 last Saturday and have been religiously following my Instagram posts (lol), then you've definitely seen me trotting around in this almost all-black ensemble. This look was a product of a semi-functioning brain (due to lack of sleep) and was a last minute decision. I was too engrossed with my preparations for the bazaar that I've completely abandoned coming up with a decent outfit for the event. So yes, I had to resort to my default black attire (which I actually sorely missed sporting). All of the pieces in this look have been recycled. I've already worn the mesh top (similar HERE) with my favorite origami skort and have paired my Balenciaga-ish diaper shorts with an improvised bandeau and a sheer floral top

On a similar note, BU5 was defnitely a huge success and this would not have been possible if not for the amazing supporters of our respective blogs and the hardworking team behind the event (Pax, Ana and the rest of the gang). To everyone who dropped by our booth to shop, say 'hello' and have their photos taken with us...thank you so so so much! Your excited smiles and energy were enough to assuage the stress and exhaustion I've been experiencing for days. Thank you as well for the kind words posted on Twitter and Instagram. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you again in the next BUB!

Dress: Subcult / Shoes: Alexander Wang / I.D. Necklace: PlusMinusTimesDivide

This dress was part of the loot bag that I got from Subcult last week. I actually let out a loud shriek when I spotted the surfboard print on it. Not only does this dress carry one of my favorite graphic prints, it also had a Balenciaga & Christopher Kane touch to it which I adore. Allow me to impart a styling trick that I always apply to dresses when I want a more casual look: I tie a long belt around the waist and gather the top part of the dress to create a billowy, dropwaist silhoutte. I've done this trick a number of times already, as evidenced HERE and HERE. For this somber summer look, I went with minimal accessories and just wore a couple of bracelets and a statement I.D. necklace from PlusMinusTimesDivide.

Who says you can't go dark for summer?
