It was a quirky kind of day.
However, the weather was dreadfully humid and hot. Eeeeps. Luckily we didn't have much to do outdoors. Lunch was comfortably held indoors in air-conditioning.
Since I was in a stern midnight blue sheath dress trying to channel British chic in 3-inch stilettos, I thought a homemade fascinator would be most appropriate to complete the look.
The girlfriends thought it'd be better for me to head to the salon to do my hair. I refused. I preferred to get dressed at home. I like doing my own hair. :)
I was a tad worried that the hairpiece would look cheapo. After all, it cost less than S$10 to put together. I saw some lovely ones in London and Paris. But I refused to fork out £120 or €90 for one. After a while, I wasn't bothered anymore. No one would be coming up that close to peer at my handiwork.
But yes, I like this sort of look rather than the flouncy party dress poofy image. I tried those dresses and was totally horrified by the images in the mirror. I looked like a ridiculous cupcake in those clothes. You know how I don't fancy colors. This boring fashion style works for me.
Ummm....yes?
