This series was taken some time ago, when my hair was still pink. That morning when we woke up, as with most mornings if I do not plan my outfit the night before, I stood in front of my wardrobe - all frustrated with zero clue of what to wear. Baby was barely awake when I was grumbling, and I vaguely heard him mumble, "Unpack your luggage and you will find clothes to wear."

Yes, I finally remembered that my luggage from my recent Europe trip was still lying around in the living room. After a little rummaging, I decided on this ensemble that was nothing short of striking. Really, I had lots of colleagues taking a second look at me in the office that morning. Even the restaurant staff at our dinner venue asked where I got my pants from!

If you do not already know, I splurge on bags, shoes and accessories, but never on clothes. I would never pay more than S$30 for a single piece of item, unless I am extremely confident that I will wear it a second time, or if it is a basic of quality cut.

Guess what? My tube top was S$5 and my pants was S$16; I couldn't be more proud of myself.
