So life has been dull. I've been working on my dissertation day in, day out. I can't believe I'm putting myself through this torture, again. After my undergraduate degree, I swore never to go back to school, but look where I am now. The worst bit is that I've already written a dissertation for my undergrad, so this is my second one. Once was enough to nearly kill me, why I'm doing another one I've no idea. This Master's better land me a high-flying job where I can just bum around sipping overpriced coffee and occasionally sign a document or two. I kid. Even people with a Permanent head Damage are out of work these days, what more little ol' me. Sighhh
I wore this when I went out with a few of my friends for the second day of Tramlines Festival. I was really dressed down and just wore plimmies. My friends (wrongly) predicted that I would dress up (because I overdress sometimes haha) so they all wore heels. One girl even wore one that was about 5 inches! Luckily, I decided to throw on some accessories at the last minute, so I wasn't too shabby, I don't think. I think this is about the only way I can wear a usamimi headband without feeling overly cutesy. Keep everything simple and add a pop of bright red on the top of my head. Nice!
As you can guess, this post was rather pointless other than to bombard you with photos of me, me, me. You're probably thinking, "What on earth?? She's wearing a white tee and some shorts! Surely that doesn't deserve an entire post of its own" And you're right, so let me show you my nails. Ta-dah!

really like these nails joey! so cute! i think you did a great job ^^ lines are even, dots are even and clean, and the stickers are cute ^^
ReplyDeletewow, you've got so long hair ;o. and your usamimi looks great on you! ;D.
ReplyDeleteNo way! I think I plain white slouchy tee shirt with distress denim shorts qualify for a post on its own too. Anyway I love the simple laidback look. The fact that it's a slouchy white tee with fluidity and not just some white tee makes it unique, and of coz together with the red bunny hairband. You always have such cute accessories and I love what you did to your nails. Really love the polka dotted tips.
ReplyDeleteYour nails never cease to blow my mind! I love the white t shirt look.... especially paired with a red bandana. Cute as always.

ReplyDeletevery cute casual outfit. Love your nails too by the way :)
ReplyDeleteI love the first photo! The black and white with the pop of red looks amazing :) I think the headband is a nice touch to an otherwise simple outfit. Love your nails too, especially the pink dotted tips! I have the HK nail stickers too but have no idea what to do with them - you've given me some great inspiration! ^_^
ReplyDeletehahaha funny you mention that sometimes friends predicts us to overdress x) sometimes that happens to me too, i like to dress all pretty if i'm going out for coffee, it's not like i'm going all formal or anything, i just like putting different outfits together and sometimes my friends feel a bit dressed down compared to me. I even avoid heels because i'm already 1.74cm (=68.5 inches) so my best girl friends won't feel bad about being smaller than me : < But in festivals i wear more plain outfits, i think it's works better if i accessorize. ^^ nice look, and yeah the headband it's cute but not overly cutesy x3

I really like your head piece. It's the cutest and I know how you feel! Ah, I just wish things would get better. :)
ReplyDeleteyour head piece is very cute :)
ReplyDeleteCute nails...hmm I'm going to guess at what plimmies are? Jean shorts? Loving the first pic with the black and white and pop of color. Good luck on your 2nd dissertation though I know you don't need it. I attempted to study to go back to school to get my masters in business administration and was like...er I can't even motivate myself to study for the GMAT so how would I be able to do school! hahaha and I always overdress for everything toO!
