Playing with polkadots!

So this is the second part of my “Mixed Prints” post… however this ended up  being the first part of my youtube video uploads (confusing much?)
This time I want to show you how you can go about mixing polka dots. I seriously adore the polka dots. Stripes and Polkadots are probably the most classic of all prints and if you’re new to prints, invest in these pieces. You can easily mix them with other prints, textures, bold colours - the styling options are endless.
Here I’m showing you how you can go day to night with the same top (actually a dress). I’ve only shown you two pieces, but you can wear a nice pair of leather pants with it, high waisted shorts, midi-skirt - I kid you not, they will just about go with anything. Polkadots also come in all sorts of apparel - dresses, skirts, pants; and of course they come in all sorts of sizes (big polkadots and small polka dots), and different colours!
Dont be afraid to be bold and try to put together different pieces that you dont think will naturally work together. Find a way of tidying the look together with common ground - eg: colours/similar hues, similar accents/theme. Again, if all else fails, mixing prints together with a neutral colour palette ALWAYS works đŸ˜€

PS - I apologise for my awful state. Hair Styling wise, I would have curled my hair with a side part and all of the curls falling to the side đŸ™‚
Anyways, sorry again for the unedited pictures. So lazy. I didnt even bother to crop them (naughty me). But hope you guys enjoy nonetheless, and if you’re a visual person, dont forget to check out my youtube video on it! đŸ˜€

WELCOME TO MY NEW BLOG!

So, I guess we’ll just have to see how this goes. Haha. I remember having a livejournal way back when, and I was quite religious. Then again, livejournal back then was just that - a journal. haha. But now new technology requires that we post pictures and good quality ones at that!
Anyways, I’ve always loved typing and just “blogging” but only once every so often. And I decided to create one now because hey, I have a week off University and I have time. So what better time than now? Also, it’ll be good when Uni starts getting hectic and I dont have time to film… I can always blog! đŸ˜€
So, what shall my first post be about then? Maybe an outfit post? I was actually filming some outfits the other day for a lookbook video in the near future! However it stopped short because my roomie came in and almost caught me!
Meet the “Cityscape Colorblock Blouse” from Sugarlips Apparel in XS $77

I quite like this shirt because of the neutral feel to it which I’m absolutely into at the moment. There’s nothing like softness of nudes, greys and pastel pinks. This also sets the scene for star pieces such as a pop of colour or bold prints. Here’s how I chose to style this particular piece…
