Print in the royal park

It is indeed a very rare occasion for me personally to have a walk in the park, especially with the current monsoon season which means one thing - muddy terrain just waiting to stain your weather inappropriate shoes (no, we don't wear Wellington boots if it's raining in this part of this world if you're wondering).  Or is it the mall  culture in me too strong to let a bit of nature-bound walk have its way?

Either way I managed to have a record-breaking TWO park-related trips last week alone. And for this trip I had a saunter in Klang's Royal Park... Nothing fancy there though as opposed to what its name suggests, nothing is too regal there except the fact that it is surrounded by Klang's royal residential area including the palace itself.

And coming back from a good friend brother's wedding reception earlier I had this dark-colored shirt with zany prints on from Gap. I don't remember the last time I bought from this basics-focused label, and they rarely do anything interesting in the prints department, except for this pair of boxers with Dries-like print.

Whimsical trend - boxer shorts over pants + Dries Van Noten SS10

This is yet another addition to my sparse (or only one, may I say) whimsical trend entry. Today I decided to experiment with wearing a pair of boxer shorts over the pants. I actually bought the boxers from GAP because mainly I'm attracted to what I think resembles the ikat print which reminds me of Dries Van Noten's SS2010 collection (among my favourite collection from the designer so far). At RM45 a pop I think it is rather pricey for a cotton undergarment, but I feel that it is somehow justified by its vivid and interesting graphic.

 I could imagine this outfit worn at fun night-outs with friends, or, given its sleep-wear influence, can be perhaps worn to a chill movie night that might end with pillow talk hahaha! I know that it's quite impractical to wear boxer shorts over pants but in this case I opted to layer them up on a pair of breezy, lightweight harem pants from Topshop (another d'ohhh moment to add to my diary - I acquired them full-priced but to find the cost halved two months later with its stock in abundance at Topshops all around KL). Perhaps this can provide an alternative to shorts-over-leggings trend that has seen its share the past two seasons?
