Pencil skirt no more

There are plenty of pencil skirts in my wardrobe waiting to be worn out. While they are lovely, many do not have a nice fit. They are either too big or too wide. Didn't I mention before that I don't sew? Anyway, while the tailor is my solution, I have way too many clothes to send for altering and that itself will burn a huge hole in my pocket. So the next best thing? Remix them clothes myself; using pins and brooches, temporarily of course.

Top: U2
Bottom: Lucky Plaza
Bag: Hand-me-downs/ Vintage (My mum's)
Shoes: City Plaza
Belt: Flea Market
Necklace: Mustafa Centre (My mum's)

The twist and turn resulted in a shorter length and a less formal skirt.

Fashion Week

I found myself staring at my wardrobe and thinking, "I've got nothing to wear!". Nothing seemed to please my eyes and just about every clothes felt wrong. Immediately I scan through the many fashion blogs and Eureka! Fashion blogger SICK came to my rescue. Her latest post, "I'm afraid of happiness." inspired my outfit today.

Dress: City Plaza
Slip: Came with a dress
Bag: Anniversary's present
Shoes: Charles & Keith
Belt: Flea Market

I normally wear this dress just the way it is, three quarter long. However today, I wanted something different and so I folded the dress to create layers of flaps.

I was inspired by these two pictures. Both runway looks are from Sari Gueron Fall 2007 Collection.
