All That Stuff Underneath All Those Other Stuff.

Traditional: an inherited pattern of thought or action.

I forgot I had this dress. I bought it for this party (dresscode was maxi floral dress) and I wouldn't have normally though just 'cause no maxi dresses fit me usually. It's really rare for me to find one the right length. This one is way too long for me (still. and probably will always be if I keep not growing at this pace) so I've never worn it out except for that party. Even with heels, it's still long. Anyways, I was looking through my clothes the other day and decided to do an outfit post with this dress! I actually love it and would wear it out, if only I could grow an extra inch overnight fit in it. It's very "spring" like, you know? The trick with maxi dresses is that I think a lot of people don't feel comfortable with wearing it because traditionally long dresses are worn to formal occasions and now more and more people are wearing it casually as well.

Platforms are like shoes for people that want heels with more heels. I love platforms. Heels just seem like flats with platforms. I guess its also to my advantage since I'm a dwarf relatively short so I can't go wrong with them.

Ciao,

Wishlist #1 - Leopard Wedges

Quick Update:
So I've had my eye on leopard wedges for a while and I could not find any ANYWHERE in Jakarta. So after a while I gave up looking, but then... I went to Hong Kong.

We were looking for Tory Burch flats (which I also found), and I found these leopard wedges on SALE. We were in Lane Crawford and were looking in the shoes section when I came across these adorable Stuart Weitzman (www.stuartweitzman.com) leopard wedges/boots for HALF PRICE. So naturally I bought it. Of course, with shoes-on-sale there is a price. It was the last pair for my size so I had to get the one on display. The one on display was faded and you could  tell it was in a worn-out condition... but the other which was in the box was fine. So now I have a pair of shoes that are the same but different.

I'll post the real shoes soon but here is what they look like, and remember I got them for half price.

They're not platforms - I would've loved platform wedges - but oh well, I didn't want to push my luck seeing that I couldn't find them anywhere else.

Excited,
Tammie.

Prints and Solids.

Sky high: Extremely tall; Excessively, exorbitantly; To a very high level.


Yes, I've noticed I've had an excessive amount of featured looks this past 2 days but oh well. I can't help notice these outfits now that I have that feature.

I was rummaging through some of my old stuff and found these items, which when put together, looks pretty good I think. It's a good combination of prints (the leopard print skirt) and the blue coat + red platforms. I really love full skirts and this one was a bargain.



These platforms are SO TALL. The heels are around 13cm tall. They're also really chunky.
I like.

 I really love the way this coat looks with the skirt. Since the skirt is full, the coat takes it shape, while being tied around the waist accentuates my hips and the shape of the skirt.

Red Suede.





These shoes are from Naima, a local Indonesian designer. Yes, I'm a size 37. And if you click on the picture you'll see it says (in fine print) "I was born in  Indonesia" which is the most adorablest thing I've ever seen printed on a pair of shoes (or its label I suppose).

Wearing these heels just make me look as tall as other people instead of towering over them, with the benefits of what high heels give you - illusion of long legs. I also really love accentuating my hips because my figure is very petite and this coat does exactly that.

Sometimes being short pays off,

Tammie.

UN-Inspired

Uninspired: having no intellectual or emotional or spiritual excitement; "the production was professional but uninspired".

Okay, call me asian but I never knew uninspired was a legit english word, in-the-dictionary, English word.

Anyways, apart from that little side note... I'm UNINSPIRED TODAY! Yay! I get these days A LOT, by the way. It's just so uninspiring... Everything here is uninspiring. I don't know why.

So my little uninspired outfit is the usual flower-y dress pattern thing. Pardon the crap level, as I said, I was uninspired :) Something I quickly put together.

I am wearing:
1. ZARA Denim crop jacket, with zipper in front (as collar), as well as a floral dress (cotton denim for halter top and loose chiffon floral pattern bottom)
2. Dorothy Perkins platform heels
3. Accessorize blue-and-purple threaded earrings :) My favorite earrings. They're so pretty! Pocahontas earrings number 2. Haha.
 
Sure as hell there will be more monotonous boring days such as these - exams are coming in a couple weeks, sometime after THIMUN (hopefully there will be a lot of things that will inspire me during this time period. Enough to last me a whole month through exams. Maybe the exams will inspire me.) So forgive me if I don't update for a few days as I might be knee-deep in work and exam material to study for.
 
And look out for the daily quote, I love it.
 

Waiting for my bangs to grow out,
Tammie.
