Week 4: Not a total screw up

So, after last week’s post I was pretty much dreading what he would pick out for me this week, considering the fact that we’ll be out pretty much the whole day and will be heading to a music event in a nice place at night. Basically, he had to pick an outfit for me that was casual enough to be worn in the day, but still dressy enough to be worn at night. Also, can I just add this outfit was picked early in the morning and let’s just say, if given the option he’d like to sleep till noon.

Occasion:
Hanging out in Bangsar during the day, and dressy music event at night.

The look.

Looking pleased in a pretty floral tube dress, bright red handbag and red ballet flats.

His thoughts:
He surprisingly picked this look out really quickly! It was like, grab dress. Find a cardi, pick a bag and we’re good to go! He actually picked a cropped white tie front cardi (unpictured, cos I totally forgot about it!) to give the whole look a more casual feel. Red bag to go with the dress and red ballet flats to go with the bag.

My thoughts:
Personally, I felt he was cheating a little! I’ve worn this dress + red bag combo before. Of course now he will argue that he doesn’t remember it, but I think I’ll be nice and give him the benefit of the doubt that he actually did a good job. ;)

However, I felt that the whole look was missing a little something, so I added a few things.

Light brown slim hair band and white bead bracelet with gold trimmings.

Okay, so you can’t really see the hairband in this photo. So below is another one. :)

And a small look at the bracelet.
I think I need to get better at taking photos of the look. Gotta have more close up photos of the details. Oh well, there’s always next week’s look! :)


For some reason or another, BF always INSISTS on taking photos of me walking to the camera to inspect his photo taking skills. Which hopefully will improve.

And that’s it for this week! Don’t have any plans for next week yet, so we’ll see how it goes. :)
What’d ya guys think? Better than all the other looks? I certainly think so! :)

Till next time!

Ps: If you're like me, and you just feel that you can NEVER get enough Summer dresses (especially them floral ones). Head on over to K&Co to check out their latest collection of Summer dresses!
My eyes are set on a few of them already! ;)

Week 3: Ready to kill boyfriend weekend

In the back of my mind, I KNEW that it was a BAD idea to ever get my BF involved in the picking of my clothes. He did pretty decent the first 2 weeks, and then this week happens. I reckon he’s getting tired of picking clothes for me and he has decided to drive me up the wall by taking forever to pick something and keeps adding ridiculous looking things. It took all of my strength not to tell him, NO! I am NOT wearing THAT!

Anyways, here is this week’s results.

Occasion:
Headed to some music event.

The look.

Me looking surly in a pink fitted top, black shorts and necklace.
Shoes & bag un-pictured because I picked it.

His thoughts:
Again with the clean crisp fitted look. The look was meant to be casual with a pop of something interesting. Sadly, the something interesting had to be this necklace! Which he took a earring of mine and made it into a pendant.

He thought that the look alone would be too plain, so he added the square mirror necklace and sharp triangle earring as a necklace. He chose to add the triangle earring to create an edgy look to the otherwise girlier look.

My thoughts:
After such a long time of picking and raiding and tossing of all my clothes messily back into my closet, I was NOT amused. While I would wear this shirt and shorts combo, I would probably pair the pink top with my blue union jack denim shorts to give it a bright pop of colour. I would also lose the necklace as I am not an accessories person and it just doesn’t look good together! I would have instead picked bracelets or a ring if I REALLY wanted to accessorise. And I just had to add, that I had to remove the necklace after a few hours of wearing because it was getting on my nerves!

Here’s a photo of me trying to smile, with my BF photo-bombing me with the pig from Angry Birds.


And below is the culprit for the outfit of the day.

Don’t be fooled by his sepet eyes and cute fuzzy-ness. It.Is.A.Lie.

So what’d ya guys think about this week’s outfit? Personally, I am dreading next week’s outfit. Lord knows what he’s gonna do next!

Till next time!

Week 2: Boyfriend picking out clothes for nice dinner

I knew it wasn’t a very good idea letting a boyfriend pick out an outfit, but what I absolutely did not expect was the fact that after he picked out the outfit, he is unable to take a decent photo that makes the outfit and me look good. Yes, I’m vain I know. If you think about it though, no one wants to look crappy in an outfit. –Rant over.-

If you haven’t seen the previous post, here’s a link to it giving you a very short description on him. If you’re too lazy to read, let me sum it up for you. He.Can’t.Dress.Himself.Period. Okay, that’s being a little harsh, to put it milder, he does not care for his dressing.
Enough ranting, here’s this week’s look.

Occasion:
We were heading some place nice for dinner, so I wanted him to pick out something dressy for me.

The look.

Purple sleeveless cotton dress with a straight cut high neckline and a exposed knotted V-shaped back, small black slightly shimmery clutch and black round toe bling shoes.

That day he insisted on being difficult and lazy by suggesting I tell him which are ‘approved’ clothing to wear to a nice place, I retorted back saying, it would be besides the point if I tell you which are ‘approved’ and which aren’t.

His thoughts:
He picked this outfit because he likes how the dress is fitted, and he insists on the dress be pulled longer so that there are no gathers down the front of the dress giving it a smooth, crisp look. Black bling shoes were picked because he thought the bling set off the purple of the dress, and the clutch was picked because that was the best option possible.

My thoughts:
Where do I begin. Though I like the dress, I wasn’t too crazy about the fact that I had to pull the dress down longer thus removing the gathers, I felt that the gathers and the slightly shorter length gave the dress a bit more character and generally looked more interesting. As for the shoes, I honestly would have picked by purple peep toe Aldo shoes, I just wasn’t really feeling the bling shoe with this classy dress.
Let’s just say I prefer last week’s look even though it was got rather hot in the top!

Okay, now it’s your turn to decide. What do you guys honestly think? :)

Next week’s challenge:
Unknown for now as we don’t have anything planned, will just have to play by ear. :)

Till next time!

Week 1: Letting your boyfriend dress you

One fine day, I stumbled upon this article about an editor who let her boyfriend pick out her clothes for a week. Finishing the article I was intrigued and decided to give it a shot!

After all, my boyfriend constantly complains about my loose, shapeless outfits which I like to wear so much and not to mention that I usually just throw on a tank top or t-shirt and shorts when I head out. Usually, when you’re lazy you tend to pick the same outfit over and over again just because it is easy and no thought is required. Plus, this will be a good opportunity for me to see what other looks can be achieved from my closet. :)

As we are not living together, I decided that it would be a good idea to make it a weekend thing. So once a week, my boyfriend will pick out an outfit for me and I will wear it. Needless to say, he was most excited at the prospect of dressing me, just to get me out of my comfort clothes.

Background on BF.
Let’s just say that he isn’t the sort to get dressed up. He has no problems wearing jeans that are too short and throwing on a ‘marathon’ singlet. Most of his decent looking clothes are umm… bought by me. So we shall see how he fares. :)

Occasion:
We were heading out to Bangsar, him to teach class and me to get a wax. Then later in the evening, we were heading to The Beer Factory to meet up with friends, so I told him that I wanted something comfortable and not too dressy as we’ll be out mostly in the day.

And this is the outfit he picked for me.

Black & white stripe long sleeve top, muddy green Supre fitted skirt, brown envelope sling bag and basic black ballet flats from Cotton On.

He originally wanted me to dress up in a white button down collared shirt, making me look like an Office Lady. But I promptly rejected the notion as no one wants to dress up as an office lady on the weekend!

His thoughts:
The reason he picked this look was because he liked how the top and bottom were fitted and not my usual shapeless outfits, as well as the fact that it’s harder to go wrong with earthy tones. Plus, he likes looks that are clean and crisp. Whatever that means, give me a tank top and shorts any day!

My thoughts:
First of all, the top is REALLY old and not something I have worn in ages! The bag is just as old and I stopped carrying it around because it’s too small and I can’t easily toss everything inside. Also, since we were out mostly in the day in a non-air-conditioned place, it was a tad too warm in that top!
This is definitely not a style I would go for, but it isn’t too bad. I feel it could do with a bit more colour.

What do you guys think of the combo?
Don't forget to check back next week for the next outfit combo!

Next week’s challenge:
Something dressy as we’ll be going some place nice for dinner.

Till next time!
