Poser.

Yeap, that’s what I am. Can’t be wasting such nice makeup and hair (had a magazine shoot, wahhhhhhhh I sound so glam right?).

I really admire girls who take time to apply makeup and style their hair everyday, it’s so much work!!! I wish I were half as disciplined so that I don’t need to look like I just ran into a dirty wall everyday.

Set camera on timer. Kept praying the lift doors won’t open cause I would actually die of embarrassment :P

Wearing my RM18 top I got last weekend from Sunway Pyramid and my 3 year old high waisted trousers from Nichii. Caged heels are from a shop called Elements in 1U. I’ve got another pair in grey too.

Yeah, I might as well call this post, “Kimberly’s discounted clothes”.

Hungry max now (of course I had to starve myself for the shoot la!). Where’s the man aka “bearer of dinner” when you need him?

Attempting a Katharine Hepburn.

If there’s anyone that I look up to for fashion inspiration, it’s Katharine Hepburn. I love her, she doesn’t reveal much skin, was always in masculine clothing but yet she still managed to come off looking sexy and powerful.

Truth be told, I’ll never in my life ever be able to attain even 1/4 of her presence. For one I need to have a personal tailor, grow 3 inches taller and get a nose job while at it.

But who says I can’t try to dress like her? Even if it means putting together random pieces I managed to fish out from my messy pile of clothes.

# – Striped collared tee (from Nichii), big belt (inherited from Mom), and tailored trousers (inherited from Mom).

All I need is a slick of red lipstick and a cancer stick to complete the look.

Who is your fashion icon?

Simple fashion upgrade, just cut!

I like how having a non-existent social life is forcing me to do things that I normally procrastinate. The other day I altered a dowdy cheongsam and today, I altered a top! Very easy to do though, no sewing involved and I just loveeeeee the final results.

I bought this top quite a while ago. I can’t even remember where I got it. It’s got fringes at the front which reminded me of a flapper dress. It’s basically a two layered tee, see through lace on the outside and grey jersey material on the inside.

# – The flapper dress inspired t-shirt.

It’s quite really cute but I’ve only ever worn it once. Reason is because of the back. It made me looked like I had a large shapeless back. Maybe it’s the cutting or maybe a big piece of lace on top of cotton just isn’t that flattering.

# – The back of the top. I wish it had the same fringes as the front of the top.

So I decided to do something to make it more palatable. All I needed was a pair of good tailor’s scissors :D

# – First, I turned the tee inside out and folded it down the middle, making sure the lacey bit was out of the way.

# – Then, carefully I started cutting straight lines across the tee.

# – After the cutting process was done, simply twist every line of fabric.

# – This is the results of twisting the cut fabrics so they won’t look so flat.

# – Turn t-shirt back to how it’s supposed to originally and this is how it looks like now.

Doesn’t look that interesting yet but wait till I wear it….

# – Looks just like before.

# – But when I turn around, it’s a completely new top!

# – Damn, need to clean the mirror :P

It’s so much more interesting now and I’m glad I can wear it more regularly now ;) Pretty sure you can do the same with old t-shirts you’ve got. Now let me go find more old t-shirts to cut!!!
