H&M Autumn 2012 (Part Two)

While I'm still salivating over the tailored goodness that is the Autumn 2012 H&M menswear from my previous post,  the womenswear department fares a good job as well; this time around the concept is all about maximalism / metallics combo.

The feminine side of me got a little bit too excited seeing all the rhinestones-laden harness top, skirt and sweater. This is all skilled work with painstaking effort, at an affordable high-street price.

Apart from that there's this digital print floral sweater that just begs to be worn, which screams a milder version of Mary Katrantzou; and the metallic part comes in the form of this lame skirt reminding me of Anna Dello Russo, I think, because of all the ostentatious (in a beautiful way of course) loud prints + metallics that she dons which makes her so strikingly unique...

Pastel is the way to go

Sometimes I get to dress a little outside from my personal norm of cheap baggy work shirts, and equally inferior-quality trousers, the majority from hand-me-downs. This time around for the long weekend I could not say no to the opportunity of being a bit crazy, outfit-wise.

I walked around Jalan Telawi at Bangsar area recently in the search of good food and to bring around my friend who came all the way from Kelantan. Instead, what I got was more of staring eyes, perhaps I suspect, at my arrow print jeans and perhaps the light yellow socks peeking out from the denim flood pants. But it is all fine by me, because the pastel/ faded hue that I try to don every now and then has finally got what it deserves here...
