Every blog needs that one classy LBD post. I've given my classic LBD outfit a bit of a twist and after choosing from a pile of black, I've decided on this famous County of Milan shirt by Marcelo Burlon. Surprised to find that Rita Ora has the same one too. Match it up with a pair of black leather pants- that's my type of 'black on black'- the one that reflects who I am- carefree, minimalist, fun... Of course all girls love the brands, it's a materialistic world we're living in, and some have learnt to define themselves through the brands they carry. Prada, Givenchy, LV, Miu Miu... But has it also brought upon us the pressure to keep up with our 'expensive' image whilst loosing sight of who we are? It's even more difficult as a Uni student with a part time job and never-ending assignments to survive in this materialistic world... So I've learnt to overcome this dilema by investing in a piece of nice clothing/ accessory every week that guarantees the quality without being extremely pricy, and once in a while, if I really like something that is out of my price range, I would sacrifice my weekly buys for that. Just like my beloved antiprima clutch in the current post. www.shopbop.com is my go-to online store for these goodies. Concluding this post, brands aren't all that to define someone, it's more important to invest in the quality, the style that you feel comfortable with wearing. However, there are ways to get around to it... slowly. My advice, live real, not expensive. Enjoy!
