tight tweeds and secret needs

Wearing yet another skirt as a dress, this time tucked over a shirt with big flouncy sleeves made of grey.

Have been feeling excruciatingly lazy, so the shoes remain the same everyday because they’re by the door.

Today I tried on a long skirt that I would typically call a milkmaid skirt. Because I’ve always thought I look like a milkmaid milking cows somewhere in Holland. I like the prints because they are nice and vibrant, and I reckon that because The Mother has truckloads of such skirts, I can have fun wearing them till I die.

Marciano occupies a corner in Guess? boutiques here, and have absolutely scrumptious offerings. Literally, Marciano means alien in Spanish. Every detail in their clothes reflects something either very polished or sensual, and despite it being substantially pricier– e.g. a shirt at $200 and up, and a dress more than $300– I normally succumb to the temptation. Two of the most sensual clothing labels I can afford for now would be Bebé and Marciano. I often like to quip, they are sex. Seriously.

I love shirts alot because they can be either dressed up or down. I also love oversized men shirts because they are extremely sexy. For now, before I work proper, I choose shirts with nice details. This one has gold buttons and a satin pink sash. The materials are a combination of satin and lycra-cotton-mix, which makes it a mold-fitting dream to wear.

It’s quite a lament how few times I get to wear my clothes. Sometimes, only once, because so many others are in the queue, of which the queue has even more to be added to it in future. This juicy-looking fuchsia one, however, was worn twice. “Yeah, P, huge achievement” as my friends love to tease me. Anyhows, I’m looking forward to wearing it a third time.

Alberto Vargas (1896-1982) was a noted painter of pin-up girls and of erotica. These are commonly featured as Vargas Girls, and are stunning in their own right. Here are a few of my favorites. .

this one’s curvy and sensual, very womanly yet girly.

this one channels a Monroe-esque feel

the lightness of spring and soothing music

one of my personal favorites. .

women and headwear. . i personally wish that more headwear would be featured over here

high-waisted with some sailor-esque charms

To complement the sun and all summery feelings, yellow suits the bill.

Knit tops add texture to an outfit, whilst the de rigeur white drainpipes surface yet again. .

It’s excruciatingly scorching, meaning minimal cloth around the neighborhood. To grab some tidbits, some knick-knacks, a quick meet-up, or for a walk.

I am a big fan of The Brother’s army cap. Since he’s a seargent at Junior Cadets, I get to steal tons of his stuff.

Psst. . army stuff are dirt-cheap. The best place ever to get berets, military badges, pants, even rucksacks for less than a steal.

Had an interview today so I wore my pleated skirt, with minimal accessories.

I have been blind all my life and finding glasses is chore. This pair of eyeglasses, though, is my best investment so far. Worth every single cent and dollar, in the same price range as Versace and Prada. Check out Prodesign, a Danish brand. They’ve got pretty cool designs for the blind and the fastidious. .
