This outfit is my contribution to this week's "I challenge you to..." installment. For this week, we were challenged to change our outfit from AM to PM.

The "I challenge you to..." is a creative initiative by two very pretty bloggers; Dany of Nany's Klozet and Flor of Flor de Maria Fashion. Here's how they described it:

"Dany from Nany’s Klozet and I (Flor) decided to start something called “I challenge you to…”. In this weekly special, we challenge our readers and bloggers around the globe to wear specific trends- and we would love if you could join us. Every Tuesday we’ll publish next week’s challenge, on Mondays: we’ll show you how we wear the trend and you’ll be able to share your link & outfit her on my blog. You can also upload your pictures to Nany’s Klozet Facebook or Flor de Maria Fashion Facebook. We were inspired by “Bloggers do it better” but we want to give our own twist to it!"




My AM-to-PM photo looks like a Before-After photo haha. I think I look quite frumpy in the AM shot (you don't have to tell me otherwise), but it doesn't matter because I only went to the library. To change to my PM outfit, I just took off the sweater, changed my shoes and let down my hair. Oh, there is a small button on the skirt, so I could fold it up like I did in the AM outfit and then let it down for the PM outfit.


I currently have a love-hate relationship with this skirt (which I also wore a couple of posts back*click*). I love the asymmetric cut of it and the way it flows is just perfect. However, it has the same problem as most of my other wholesale purchases; the inner lining is indecently short! Wearing safety shorts will solve the problem, I suppose, but I sometimes don't like how the shorts are visible due to the short hems in the front. Also, it's a tad too tight so the waistband tends to ride up when I move. I keep having to tug my skirt down and that's not very lady-like, I don't think.


Anywayz, my PM outfit was for a dinner date with the boyf at an Italian restaurant. Being poor students, we decided to exercise our right in using meal-deal coupons *not shy*. I had scallops for starters and that was divine, but my mains were a major disappointment. My pollo risotto was wayyy too salty and the chicken was too dry. I'm no food connoisseur, but I've definitely had better.

*still smiley before I dug in*

Oh, oh, I've got a mini giveaway coming up! Keep an eye out for it

  27. joey so pretty T_T 

    the last pic of you I like the most. I didn't even know about safety shorts until my lady friend told me a few years back. I always thought some girls were just naturally super dangerous. But some girls dont care - in high school this skanky lady wore a skirt so short you could see her butt cheek? And she didn't care. We loved her =D

    I hope you are surviving. it was 35 celsius today and we rarely ever have rain. It was so hot T_T

  31. i love that asymmetric skirt! but i totally know what you mean about wholesale buys-- you're talking about sites that sell direct from asia right? sometimes it's such cheap & fast fashion that the quality really isn't there :( love the look though! xo

  33. Haha, girl you did not look frumpy!! You should have seen what I wore to my patternmaking class tonight!! Looks so crazy, but I just wanted to be chill you know!!  I think it's cool that the skirt has the button option, but would be annoying with the short lining...
