Back Lit Somehow

 

The Chinese New Year vibes aren't getting any weaker in my system. I almost went out on the colour red, which was believed to be a lucky colour, today. I'm lucky I caught myself right on time.
I've stopped believing in luck recently, since I've been holding on to the belief that everything happens for a reason. I'm not asking you to stop believing in luck like I did. This is just my opinion and I'm not going to tamper on yours.

So why wear a lot of red during the Chinese New Year festivities when I don't believe in luck? 

To help out those people in their 'how to wear a lot of red and other colours close to it' dilemmas.

For once, I picked out my bottoms first just because I feel like wearing this pair. Then I took out a pinkish orange top with navy blue details to pair the bottoms with so I wouldn't be too red. I chose to compliment the outfit with colours that matched my blouse's accent.

These are actually basic, playing safe and even 'plain common sense' tips to others but a lot of people have made the common mistake.

New Year Take Two

I've been on a major blogging hiatus and I sincerely apologize for this. I've been busy for twice as much as usual and whenever I go home, I just want to hug my bed.

Anyway. If you're curious about my title, it actually looks irrelevant to the aura my photos will give you. But do not be deceived. I planned out giving you a grim look for a more oriental feel. And if I didn't do it right and decide to leave, just come back next time.

If you study in a Chinese school, you'll probably celebrate two New Years in one year. First, the universal new year. The one that's fixed on January 1. The other would be Chinese New Year that's date is based on a Chinese calendar. And we were scheduled to celebrate the latter at school today.

I just found this top in my grandma's closet last summer and I immediately had a plan for it. Which was actually to wear it today. I paired it with palazo/ elephant pants which [I actually observed] is a common find when looking for Chinese attires.
