Let's Tessellate...

Sweater & Skirt: Zara / Bag: Balenciaga / Shoes: Alexander Wang (available HERE) / Necklace: Mauve

I'm flying to Shanghai on Thursday for our annual out-of-the-country company trip and I'm starting to feel fidgety and panicky. I hate the idea of leaving work behind and I wish I had more time in my hands to finish and polish what needs to be accomplished. I guess the excitement for another rendezvous with China (I was able to visit Beijing 7 years ago) hasn't sunk in and I would have to wait until the very last minute for the thrill of traveling to a different country to kick in. While I collect my thoughts and force myself to smile even with a ton of work on my lap, I leave you with an outfit post featuring another tribal print piece: an elusive sweater from Zara which I've been tracking down for months (and which eventually appeared online, brandishing itself at a sale price point of a mere $19.99!). I wore this to a night out with blogger friends whom I haven't seen for a while. It was great catching up with the FFT crew -- reminiscing how our group was formed and how much fun we had during our "fashion field trips" (hence the term, "FFT") years ago. I wish we could have more of these get-togethers. Le sigh.

P.S. I've recently renewed my love for my (faux) leather skirt from Zara so expect to see more of it in upcoming posts. You've been warned! Haha!

Jeggings: Wrangler / Top: Pinkaholic / Shoes: Finsk / Necklace: FRKRS / Bag: SM Accessories

Remember my previous post on the Wrangler Abby jeggings? Well, I wasn't kidding when I said that I was obsessed with them. I was so darn obsessed that I even got them in another color...black! These jeggings actually look more like skinny jeans than leggings -- that's how great the denim material is (yes, repetition of the same statement from the previous post is a must). For this black pair, I decided to display a bit of my "feminine side" by donning a pretty bare-shoulder top (from Pinkaholic) which had "R-O-M-A-N-T-I-C" spelled all over it. While this top may have been a bit girly for my taste, it had a bohemian/hippie appeal to it which I positively responded to. I can already imagine myself pairing this top with frayed denim shorts and harness boots. Do I smell another music festival look brewing? Why, yes! Haha!

Pink Floyd

 T-Shirt: Street Beat Boutique / Pants: Silence & Noise (Urban Outiftters) / Boots: Jeffrey Campbell / Bangles: Mauve / Necklace: FRKRS / Bag: Designerati

I've been on the hunt for a legit-looking worn-out band shirt for quite a long time now (most of the band shirts I see in stores or online are actually quite shitty) so when I saw this Pink Floyd shirt at the St. James Bazaar, my eyes lit up and I was smiling from ear to ear. Not only does this shirt have the worn-out feel I was looking for, it also features Pink Floyd! Pink Floyd is probably one of most iconic rock groups of our lifetime (go Google them up). I was feeling a bit hippie with this band shirt on so I decided to dial up the hippie look with a pair of full-on velvet bell bottoms (wore this to BU3). Threw in the trusty wide-brimmed fedora, some badass Mauve arm swag and I was ready, once again, for my music fest date.

In other news, the new year is fast approaching (one more day to go! woot!)! 2012 was a blast but I'm wishing 2013 will be a whole lot kick ass! Passing on this wish to you guys, too! Cheers!
