Donatella







Some days ago, I had a chat with a girlfriend who asked me, "Can you describe your style in one sentence?"
I could not, because I really cannot decide on only one style. I love my floral frocks, I feel empowered in pants, I am always confident in bare-back pieces, I have a whole collection of two-piece sets, and I cannot do without my black dresses.
And if I haven't mentioned, I love biker jackets. I love them to death and Singapore's recent weather makes it all too easy for me to showcase my collection. But the irony is when I did this shoot, it was scorching hot and I was almost melting. But I told myself, "if Liu Wen can shoot her Coach A/W 2013's campaign in sunny New York in summer, I can do this too."
And voila, my series of photos to feature my new biker jacket that LeChic so kindly sent over. It is unbelievably perfect. The double flap can be worn two ways - half-zipped like I did, or a full zipped up look which cuts off nicely at the collarbone. Both side zips are functional, and I really like how the little studs on the shoulders add a subtle cool factor to the jacket.
In my previous biker jacket feature, I have had girls asking me how to wear one in Singapore without looking overdressed. The truth is, once you don a biker jacket, you stand out and it really is not something you should shy away from. Pair it with a pair of printed pants like I did, and keep the inner top minimal so that the limelight is on the jacket. Else, if you really want something even more subtle, wear a simple black dress and let your jacket do the rest of the talking. I would spice it up with fiery shoes, of course.
On a lighter note, this pair of pants is a fab addition to my wardrobe because the fit is more than flattering! It is so wearable for both work and play and I can match it with almost any colors. And of course, vampy lips to complete this look.
Feels like what Donatella would have in her mind, yes?
