I'm sorry that it's been a while since my last post. I just got back from Bali and didn't manage to get internet connection. I owe many posts for you from my trip! Before I go through my holiday pictures, here's an outfit post...
I was raiding my closet the other day and I found many items that I haven’t worn at all or for a long time. Two Topshop pieces of top and skirt caught my attention because it’s like 2 years old! I got them both from London’s Topshop sales rack during my Europe holiday. It is such a pity to have left these great bargains in my closet. It’s so bad isn’t it? It’s like buying without a purpose, but not anymore, because I finally wore them both.
The shoulder of the top are shoulder pads, giving it a tougher look. Do you like shoulder pads? I do, especially in a feminine look, to give the piece a boy-ish touch. I wore a colorful flower bangle to spice up the look with color of course.
The top is a backless top with a ribbon to tie at the back of the neck. I wouldn’t dare to wear it without a tank top inside, as the armhole was quite loose and open. So I wore a tank top similar in shade with the both the top and skirt. This gives it a lovely purple flow, as the purples are similar, just in slight difference of hues.
For the shoes, I wore my Sam Edelman nude slingback pumps. Nude surely gives a soft touch to any color.

I found this draped skirt from Topshop’s sale rack in Jakarta and without much hesitation, purchased it. It was a good deal, especially for Topshop. Usually their sale items wouldn’t be as cheap as this, so I’m happy with the purchase. The skirt caught my eye because of its vibrant patterns. I know it’s just a random print, but it reminds me of a puddle-cheetah print. Just imagining a bit here of what the pattern could be. I paired the skirt with a Moonsoon black tank, which was kinda loose, which made it comfortable. Not to mention the soft cotton fabric of the top makes it nice to wear in the hot Surabaya weather.

This look can be worn during the day or night; so versatile right? Let’s say you’re out all day from a lunch to dinner- this outfit will save you if you don’t have time to change. That applies if you’re having dinner with different people though.
So how has your November been? Can you even believe it's the last day of November? Are you guys ready for Christmas? I'm glad to say that I'm finally done with my Semester Exams and I can relax for a while. I find myself a bit bored, but at the same time excited for a photoshoot tomorrow. Hope the weather will be sunny tomorrow. It has been sunny and super hot for a couple of days and rainy in the next days. So unpredictable.
