MEET THE MIDI

I never thought I'll want to wear a midi skirt, but seeing how lots of people are rocking it, I succumbed to temptation and got myself one. It wasn't a straightforward decision to make. I was afraid that my petite frame will be swallowed up and lost in the big skirt. However, I took the plunge and ordered a faux leather one online. To save myself from drowning in the big skirt, I paired it with a simple fitted T-shirt with a frill detail to add some fun to the outfit. Finally, I finish off the look with a pair of hidden platform pumps for the extra height! How do you like this look? Have a wonderful week ahead!

THAT ICONIC GREY SHIFT

One of the most celebrated dresses worn in (relatively) recent times is the grey Narcisco Rodriguez shift dress worn by Kate Moss in Cannes 1997. It was the epitome of minimalism, yet it successfully differentiates Kate Moss from the pack by her choice of an unexpected simple piece. 16 years on, I'm wearing my own grey shift in a shorter length to keep the look fresh. The sweater material lends texture and shape to the dress, and is more forgiving for less than perfect bodies. I kept the color palette muted by opting for accessories in neutral colours. To keep the outfit from looking dull, I took cues from Kate Moss and finished off the look with a slick of orange-red lipstick.
