My First Lookbook..(I guess)

Fashion and beauty blogs have given me so much inspirations and they slowly (but surely) change my life in a good way. As a woman and a mom to a young toddler, it is not easy to find time to pamper myself..the time is there but I am always too tired to dress, too lazy to put makeup on, too cheap to invest in high quality clothes and my excuses go on. My mom always say "women should always look her best no matter how old we are". My mom is always well dressed and her makeup looks appropriate for her age

From now on I want to make a change..a little bit at a time..I want to look beautiful, more energetic and be happier for my little girl, for my husband and for myself. I would like to have something that I can look back when I am old and crusty and say "hey, I used to look quite decent". I almost forgot how much fun playing dress up is. However, I can tell you right now that I am still on a mission to save and save and save, and that is not going to change lol. You will not see Chanel, Louis Vuitton or those high end products on my blog unless I totally lose my mind, or win a lottery.

So this weekend, I went shopping for the first time in...errr..a month or two. Where did I go? - TJMax. What did I expect to find?..Nothing really..lol. I went inside and came out with 1 outfit for myself and 5 for my little girl. When you become a mom, that's what happens I guess lol.

So what did I buy..okay I found this "convertible dress" from Lapisgirl. It is "one size fit all" and you can wear it 4 different ways. I just want something different that give me a "summer-y" feel before summer is officially over because my wardrobe is beyond boring in terms of color variations.

Below outfits are from my "recycle" collection. I have them forever but do not wear them as often as I should. This little dress is from a Junior Department at Kolh's, I don't remember what the brand is but it fits nicely.

These two pieces I bought from one of the malls in Bangkok, Thailand. Seriously, I can't believe how high the markup is for clothes sold in the US. It is ridiculously expensive! For the same quality, you pay 50 - 70% less somewhere else. That is one of the reasons why I have been frugal and saving, I am anticipating a trip overseas next year and I would rather spend $1,000 - $1,500 buying high quality clothes that fit me and are far more reasonable. I can't wait to come back with suitcases loaded with cute, chic and more affordable outfits.


Candie's Animal Printed Blouse - I bought it last year and have worn a few times. These flats, let me tell you, they are so cute but hurt my feet horribly.

This blazer/jacket (whatever you call it) is also from Kohl's (once again, I don't remember the brand) and inside is a sleeveless blouse from Forever21.


Hope everyone have a fun and great work week. I have to arrive at work at 7am on Monday, I hope I can get myself out of bed and make it on time!!!
