Anyway, when I first came across this style of dress named “skater dress”, the first thing that pops into my mind is the song Sk8er Boi by Avril Lavigne. I know I know that it’s totally unrelated !!

What I love most about this dress is that you can dress it up and also dress it down!! It’s one of my absolute favourite work dress!!

I bought this particular dress from Topshop and I bought it in rust colour. If I have the $$$, I’d love to get it in every single colour they have as the quality of the fabric they use are really good!!

This was what I wore during to work on the fist day of Chinese New Year (last month). Something red for prosperity and good luck!!! And yes, I was working during Chinese New Year because unfortunately, we don’t get Chinese New Year public holiday here!!

Dress: Topshop Structured Sleeveless Skater Dress – Rust
Shoes: GlamRockChic Heart & Soul – Beige
Bag: Louis Vuitton Galliera PM

However, after buying this pair of combat boots, I’ve no idea how to style it up. It remains in my closet for more than a month until my recent trip to Japan where I bought a new coat and a pair of jeggings. This is definitely one of my favourite casual look for now .

Coat: H&M
Jeggings: Uniqlo
Shoes: Tony Bianco Gravel
Bag: Burberry Blue Label

We took a few shots but somehow, the doggies always remain in the photos. Don’t you love them to bits?

Lately, I’ve been wearing lots of long sleeves t-shirt as the weather is getting colder but I didn’t really want to wear another layer of jacket or cardigan as that will be too warm. Also, I hardly wear shirts to work as I’m too lazy to iron them. Therefore, I’d often look for ways to make t-shirts dressier and this is what I wore to work today. I took a few shots and Coco insisted on being in the picture so that’s where she’ll stay .

Long sleeve t-shirt: Dotti
Vest: Bonsai Tunic – Handknitted by me
Pants: Tailor made in Malaysia
Heels: Nine West

Lastly, my sister has been staying with me since beginning of this year and it’s been a roller coaster ride ALL THE TIME. Bear in mind that I haven’t lived with her under the same roof for the past 7 years except for the occasional weeks when I went back to Malaysia to visit my family. Also, there is this big age gap between us as well which doesn’t really help at times, bearing in mind that she’s only doing her first year in university this year. Why am I bringing this up? Hmm, let me share with you one part of our conversation today:

Her: Jie (Big Sis in Cantonese), I’m so thirsty
Me: Go drink some water
Her: I left my water bottle in your car this morning
Me: How come you’re so forgetful? Why didn’t you buy a bottle of water while you’re in uni?
Her: I’m quite broke this month after buying all the ink catridges for the printer
Me: Don’t tell me you have not even drank a drop of water for the whole day????
Her: I drank a sip of water from my friend’s bottled water

Now, I had to quickly end that conversation with her before I stared screaming “HELLO??????” She left the house with me at 7 am and I picked her up from the train station at around 5 pm. That’s like about 10 hours and she only drank one sip of water because she’s too broke to buy a bottle of water??? What kind of excuse is that?? A bottled water only cost like $2 to $3 max and surely she can afford to buy a bottle?? If not, I’m sure her “friend” would be able to spare her a few gold coins?? I myself drink like 2 to 3 bottles of water while at work easily and I can’t believe that she only managed on just one sip. Sometimes I wonder if her brain is fully developed?

Don’t get me wrong. We do have our good times too and there are times when I do enjoy her company .

PS: I bet she’ll be fuming when she read my post
