comfort clothing; when you think it won't look good on you


A couple few updates before I jump into the entry. Been keen on doing this lately but I just have to squeeze these non-exciting life jitters of mine in a blog post.

  • I am currently addicted to the Olsens tumblr. If you're one of the person like me who lurks in the dark and pops out only to find that fashion is amazing, please check this out. It's a cool site for girls who love to put on pretty things together behind their back but don't have enough imaginations (or guts) to do so.
  • Slowly changing my eye makeup routine. I've added just a bit of black eyeshadow which you can't really tell once it's on. That's why I've been putting of blogging about it. I know.. I know..
  • Addicted to the TV show, Merlin. I know Merlin is old news, but there is something about me and ancient history movies lately.
  • Am still on the hunt for the perfect black skinny jeans. Right now the chances are second to none.
  • Contemplating into getting one of the many BB Creams that Face Shop has come out with. I've barely scratch the surface with my Super Skin 79 because I've been using my old trusted Revlon of late. Believe me, I should not get another BB Cream, no matter how pretty they are in my collection.

Done. Now onto the main part of the post.

I've always thought (as I'm forever in awe of my 'knowledge' in certain type of clothing) that those massive baggy batwing shirts won't cut it for my body type. And truthfully, there are some out there that despite the baggy look, obviously look baggier on me. I don't want to end up looking like an overgrown bat. I know that the Olsens rock baggy shirts, up to their knees and pair them with skinnies (where are mine?) and some black boots. But they look good in it coupled with the famous out of bed look whereas for me, I couldn't afford to make my scarfs and shawls any scruffier looking then they are at present.

Don't get me wrong, I do have a couple pair of baggy shirts (usually cropped) that I like. Zara makes good ones and if you're attentive enough, you'd find pretty ones in Time Square. But this time around, I want to find something that isn't cropped, a blouse perhaps that have baggy arms but one I could pull off.


I got this blouse at a store called Rest & Relax. To me, this store is seriously overpriced. Lucky I managed to get this on a discount for RM30-ish. It's a kimono type of blouse, which for me personally (judging from my body type), fits into the category of baggy clothes. I have had a few issues with this blouse when I brought it home. First, it has a low back, which would mean that I have to wear my scarf really low just to hide the peeping skin. Some of my tops aren't this low so layering proves to be a problem. I kept tugging it back and fro. The color scheme is nice though, I would consider it safe. And as for the baggy arms, I'm glad that they finish off with small cuffs at the end so it closes the baggy-ness of this blouse on me.



It still doesn't look any less baggy on me, which I like. Lucky that it has an elastic waist, which means I don't have to carry the baggy-ness down below my abdomen.

Coupled with my favorite accessories, this was during a sister's day out I had with my sisters in Penang.


Yes, I'm in a fitting room trying on some skinnies as you can see (which I bought, by the way. will show it in future posts!) Trying to see this blouse from a different angle.

The same blouse, only this time with a different shawl.
