OOTD + I'm back!

Hi everyone!
Sorry I've been MIA for such a long time. Summer is here and I have been dying to wear summer clothes that I bought since last year haha. I was motivated to blog again because of all the cute outfits I've seen other people post on instagram.
I think I will be doing outfits/ootd posts more than shopping posts from now on.

So let make this "I'm back" post an outfit of the day post =]

*Note: The pictures have the watermark of glasskiwi because I had originally planned to post this on my regular blog, but then I thought it fits this blog more.

Here's what I wore a couple days ago:

Blouse: Boutique in Hong Kong

Shorts: Forever21

Shoes: Nine West

Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs

And to end the post, here is a photo of my face... In case you've missed my face ;)

Where are the extra small dresses?

Cat Print Dress from Zara

Price: $59 or $69 (Don't remember)
Size: S
Pros: Love the design - both the style and cut of the dress and the cute cat print all over it!
Cons: They only had this in size S, which was too big for me since the top part was way too slouchy than it was meant to be.
Decision: Did not buy.

Pink Dress with Ruffles from Forever 21

 

Price: Don't remember

Size: S

Pros: I like the color and the ruffles, and the style too - the elastic waist band makes your waist look smaller ;)

Cons: Smallest this dress came in was a small. Again, it was too big for me. The first picture is such low quality so you probably can't tell, but the V down the middle was too deep and when I lean forward, you can see everything lol.

Decision: Did not buy.

Bleh. Stupid stores. Why no extra small!?

Anyway...

if you are interested in seeing more pictures of my hair that day, you can see this post here. Not a tutorial though, just me taking pictures of my hair since I spent so much effort on it haha.

Did not intend on shopping

I did not intend on going shopping today...
But my friends asked if I wanted to meet up with them. I did, and we went shopping... and I ended up buying a lot of stuff when I am supposed to be saving money right now D=

I am going to split up my shopping haul into separate posts. I bought a bunch of other things that I couldn't take pictures of while I was in the fitting room, so I will post about those in the next post once I take pictures of those pieces later.

#1:  Striped Pencil Skirt

(from H&M)

Price: $12.95
Size: Girls 10 - 12
Pros: The black and white contrast stands out and makes the skirt look more fun. It was perfect fit!
Cons: The wide stripes can make my figure look wider.
Decision: Purchased.

#2: Black Pencil Skirt with Zippers
(from H&M)

 

Price: $12.95
Size: Girls 12 - 14
Pros: It is a black pencil skirt that is appropriate for work and play ;D I liked how it had zipper details.
Cons: They only had this skirt in size 12/14 Girls, which was a bit too big around the waist for me.
Decision: Purchased. I will exchange for the smaller size at another H&M location, but just in case they run out of stock, I bought this size first =P

#3: Coral Flower Sandals

(from Siren's)

Price: $30.00
Size: 5
Pros: I fell in love this the beautiful coral color and the cute summery design of these shoes! I also love the wooden look of the heels. The heels are also very high - which makes me so much taller = <3
Cons: Size 5 was the smallest size, which were still too big for me.
Decision: Purchased.

Here's a similar pair that are not high heels, for those of you who don't like high heels:

#4: Black Flower Sandals

(from Siren's)

Price: $30.00
Size: 5
Pros: Same exact style as the previous pair, just a different color... Very wearable - the style is summery, but the color makes these shoes suitable to wear even after spring and summer =]
Cons: Again, size 5 is still big for me, so I'll have to work some magic with insoles.
Decision: Purchased.

I'll post about my other purchases very soon!
Thanks for reading ^_^
