Orange

Top & skirt | Zara
Shoes | Carvela Kurt Geiger
Spectacles | Paul Frank
Bag | Balenciaga
Triangle bra | COS
Bolt necklace | Pilgrim via ASOS
Watch | Little Twin Stars Sanrio

This is the first pair of spectacles I made that I would really wear out! I used to wear contact lenses all the time and would never ever wear spectacles outside of home. Took me long enough to actually get a pair that I would wear out, or even least take photos with. These pair fits me pretty well and the only downside is that it's a lot heavier than any of my previous spectacles and I'm afraid if it would pull skin around my nose bridge down/make it sag. Else, all's great. And I actually like the pop of orange (unexpected, coming from me, ikr) at the sides.

How to Fix It: Rip It.

High waisted skinny jeans (ripped by me) | Mango
Cami top | ASOS
Shoes | Carvela Kurt Geiger
Sunglasses | DVF
Bag | Givenchy
Watch | Hugo Boss
Leather bracelet | Agnès b
Lace bralette | Urban Outfitters

Ordered this pair of jeans online and the fit was almost perfect, other than the overly tight knee area (many of my jeans fit really tight at the knee I have no idea why ugh) so there was only one way to fix it: rip it. I'm so proud of the rips on this pair (learned how to rip jeans on YouTube in 3 minutes, and spent the next 2 hours ripping away). It was pretty fun to me lol. Ripping jeans at the knee area is a great way to ease the tension caused by skinny jeans around my weak knees (and still looking good).
Low back camis are always pretty but here comes the common problem: what bra should I wear? (or should I wear one at all lol). My decision was based on the fabric and cut of the top. If the back is really low, I would either wear a low back bra (which I have yet to find one that fits well) or a bra/bralette which does not have any buckle at the back (just because I think it doesn't look really good showing any bra buckles). So here we are, a bralette (with a nice laced back, of course)!

Thanks for reading!
