Orange thing: Things that look like….

Coat – Obakki, Shirt + Trousers + Socks – Uniqlo for Uniqlooks, Shoes – Zara, Bag – Storets.com, Watch – Casio (via ASOS)

Significant Other: (Looking over my shoulder) You look so Asian.

Me: I am Asian.

Significant Other: No, I mean how you can hardly see your eyeballs in all these pics. And you look like the guy from Mulan in that orange pic…

Me: Screw you.

You wouldn’t believe how windy it was today! It may look as though I have a few static balls rolling around in my pocket but no, I believe if I had any kind of balls I wouldn’t have troubles telling the waiter he brought the wrong order. Or wouldn’t have to pretend I’m blind when passing a neighbour in the corridor to avoid saying hello. I’M JUST SHY OKAY. This is a rather belated first instalment of this month’s Uniqlooks, and yes, their clothes alone do make me happy and grinny and all, but the truth was that as the wind was thrashing and whipping my hair around I kept thinking how funny it’d look if I tried eating a sticky toffee icecream during this all and I couldn’t stop guffawing like a moron.

Thank you Kit for the outfit shots!

  10. couldn’t help giggling at the mulan comment, if it makes you feel any better I had a crush on the guy in mulan (the one shes inlove with) when i was little, also I believed that I was mulan when I was younger, so that may have something to do with it. You look wondeful by the way!

  27. You look like such a babe in that first photo. Like proper beautiful model style… luckily, the photo in the orange va-jay-jay next to it brings you back down to earth. Muahhahhaa. JK. You’re a hottie.

    Anyyyway, was totally expecting that denim shirt to be from some super expensive freak-tastic-funky shop… not Uniqlo. I want one. It’s super cool.

    Lovely photos! Hope the wind has died down! xx

  37. Dear Shini,

    I get super excited when I see your posts on my feedburner. Your sense of style is impeccable and classic, and you have a great sense of humor.

    I think I’ve commented a few times before, but I just wanted to make this sound like a fancy letter.

    Shini this has just inspired me to sew small buttons onto the sides of my denim shirt! It’s so clever!

    I love the blog, you have amazing style and taste. Only…have you lost weight? There’s no trouble with getting fit ,or feeling better, and I don’t want to be some stranger passing judgment, but you’ve always been beautiful and I just want to say that, and that you shouldn’t let the pressure get to you. Stay healthy!

    Meee? Lost weighht? I wish! I’ve had the same weight since I was 17 ;) I think it might be the way I’m snapped or how the clothes fall… could also be that the babyfat on my face has now immigrated to my behind… I’m healthy, thank you for the concern though! xx
