AFTER GUCCI TWO.

I was considering this as the blog title: Because waiting for him to provide text might take another decade and the fact that he types with both index fingers doesn’t help either. Afraid that he will go overboard with the self-admiration description, I’ve decided to assist him. And by assisting, I meant writing the whole of this post.

Ridhwan’s thought process is very different from mine; I just take whatever while his is rather complex. We differ on style matters and we both dismiss each other’s opinion most of the time. On cooperative occasion, like the day this picture was taken, he went with my suggestions. He very much prefers quirky (not that it’s a bad thing) look as opposed to the casual, clean get-up but after seeing these pictures for himself, he was very pleased.

The individual pieces itself have a story to tell— the jacket was painstakingly tough to get and it was a gift for his 21st, so he could wear for his exhibition. (That, ladies and gentlemen is how you do gifting on a budget.) The bottom was his second pair; the first one had stains so I took home for washing now it’s mine. (Oh, did I also mention that Ridhwan is extremely generous? Hah)

You see, one could only imagine how long he takes to get ready. I guess that’s for me to know and for you to find out— hopefully when he decides to write the next post.

AFTER LAUNCH OF GUCCI.

I know… this post was uncalled for. The goal: a conscious effort to dress well. Not necessarily dressing up to the nines but to put some thoughts to my outfit. Trust me, it’s not really the case of me wanting to showoff my clothes. If that were the main purpose, I would have posted the entire lookbook from Uniqlo since all my clothes are from there anyways.

Moving on.

I desperately need something to inspire me to shed those pounds and I guess to put myself up on this space will at least motivate me to look better. For those who have been following in the previous style journal would have known how much I’ve gained. About 39.6 pounds later, here I am again posting pictures of myself up here. (No, no don’t get me wrong; I’m not morbidly obese or even overweight!) That’s reason number one and number two will be shared in the next post.

Oh yes, the outfit. It was for a Gucci press event I went earlier that day. Basically I start with the lambs wool sweater and assuming that there will be a huge billboard of Gucci logos to take picture against, I thought the colour would look good against that background. (You have no idea how embarrass I am to reveal my thought process to you but there you go, that’s how I think). I’ve worn it a couple of times but I styled it differently, a different shirt makes a whole lot of difference.

As for the shoes, they’re vintage Dunhill. (Kidding, I just love saying that. It makes everything expensive and exclusive) I didn’t realized how matchy-matchy it was with the top till I view them in pictures! Well I guess that’s my outfit-post debut, more to come!
