old flower club

celebrated an old friend's birthday with some other mutual friends. i knew her the longest time (about 30 years) while one knew her for about 10 years. we're all women, all singles, all afflicted with 老花眼. things were looking really familiar. yet i couldn't imagine how my life would've panned out otherwise.

the shirt i found in song & song stores for a song

i wanna be next to you

snagging the chance to take my shorts out for some sunning. these were bought probably more than a year ago. my most expensive haul from a local blogshop's arrived. it's the shoes that caused a substantial part of the damage. turned out they're jellies. not as pointy as i'd like them to be. they seem to be tight during daytime (but they came with a pair of shoe liners). i chose the other black-and-gold pair over the new shoes.

pointless

seriously hating the hair

ugh, camel toe.. but really, no.

the shoes gave way today. i realised them shoes always failed on me as i was about to reach the bus stop. then i would always hope against hope that i could still continue on my way and get new shoes near the office. and of course each time that just won't do. got my ma to help me cos i didn't think the sole could hang on much longer. well, it's still embarrassing -- i changed shoes at the road junction. you know, people's shoes break due to wear and tear. mine break due to lack of wear. i don't think i wore them more than ten times. truth be told, i'd forgotten about them.

i recounted this to a colleague after lunch. then i inadvertently went on to declare how proud i was of myself, as far as buying shoes was concerned. i wasn't entirely truthful, of course. my addiction had indeed been less intense, though. i should do an inventory soon. after i receive my new shoes: a pair of toms ordered last night, and the replacement shoes which i'm going to order after this post. the price is not right but i really like the shinyness and pointyness. gold or silver? both??! 

p/s: wearing blogshop items top and bottom; they're made for each other. got the top brand new at a flea market; seller's probably a BS owner. i almost wanna sell the pants cos the pockets are so... obvious. i liked that they're comfy although the left pant leg's always stuck mid-calve when i got up from my chair.

another day of black-on-black. can you see any accent of a colour other than black? i wore this outerwear over an old old old dress that's still wearing a hole on its side, lol. if only you saw what i went thru to get to here.

something's just not right with each combo. was i too anal? i suppose i should've simply cinched the black cable-knitted outerwear with the belt to create an ideal silhouette. i had a few reasons. for the outfit with the printed skirt, the belt's main purpose was to hold up the skirt - which was actually an oversized tee worn upside down. for either outfit, the outerwear would appear to be too short to be held in by the belt. moreover, i just always favoured 'hanging loose' over being constricted by a belt. i think the silhouette would work better if i wore long pants or a longer skirt. i actually tried on another black throw over the dress but the outcome's quite similar. and i knew the red pointy flats wouldn't work. i think i'm going to have to banish most of my pointy flats soon.

so was i too anal? lol.
