Back to school? No, thank you.


"Whether checkered, tartan, or houndstooth, we'll all be marching straight into Fall 2013 with a wardrobe of plaid jackets, dresses, trousers, and more." -ELLE Magazine

What I Wore: Motel Rocks Top | GOWIGASA Red Plaid Shorts and Square Backpack | Do-A-Fashion Navy Coat | Boots from Japan

It's that time of year again - Back to school! So why not make it the theme for today's outfit! :)

I chose these shorts because I think plaid always plays along with that school-girl look. And this navy coat is the ideal pick for this theme because not only does it cover me up, it also kind of looks like a school blazer, don't you think?

For the top instead of wearing a white button up shirt like a typical school uniform, I chose this mesh cropped top with cross beads to add a bit of goth element to the look. Wouldn't it be cool if my hair is black with straight bangs just like Gogo Yubari from Kill Bill? Ha!



Actually this is far from the school uniform I used to wear. Sooo far that the only things I would be allowed to wear from this outfit are my backpack and coat! Not even colored soft-lenses.

Writing this post just reminded me of how much relieved I am to have graduated from my school.

Pastel Mood

What I Wore: GOWIGASA Pastel Striped Sweater | Stradivarius White Shorts | EMS Project Pastel Shoes

Just one of those days when you just want to relax and hang out with your friends in a coffee shop (actually I don't drink coffee, so usually I just go with lemonade or mineral water :D).

The weather here in Jakarta has been very gloomy lately, and that's what led me to wear this pastel sweater! It's so slouchy and comfy and it adds color to the sad grey sky lol. Hopefully bright sunny days are coming soon cos I think that's the best time to take (outfit) pictures hehe..

But until then, enjoy the weather while listening to this song... :)


ps. Thank you sooo much for your kind advice on my previous post! You guys are so helpful! <3

So Long and Goodnight

What I Wore: Topshop Turtleneck Crop Top and Necklace | GOWIGASA Green Plaid Shorts, Grey Oversized Coat, and Luna Bag | June and Julia Mustard Heels

My sleep pattern has been totally screwed up lately, I don't get to sleep until 4-5am and get up at 3pm. You might think it's nice to sleep for like 10 hours, but no no no, too much sleep actually makes you feel tired! It can also cause puffy eyes wtf.

I'm trying to find ways to straighten it out, so if you have any suggestions to adjust your sleep schedule, please comment down below! Thank you very much :)
