~Dress well~

When i started work on my first job, it does not require me to dress formally... i am not the kind of person who knows how to go about choosing and matching clothes... so, my dear colleagues always see me in t-shirt and jeans... (not those nice and cool ones!) haha in other words, *lok kok*

The first time when i realised this, was my mentor (name will not be disclosed) who commented on my dressing for she is somebody who always like to dress up nicely... haha after that, here and there i received kind advices and comments... mostly about my sandals... cuz i wear sandals WHEREVER i go... yeah, no matter what i am wearing! =p

recently, ST who was very kind, went shopping with me... in an attempt to get nice clothes that will suit me... last time we went queensway shopping centre too... that was very long ago... apparently one trip is not enough to change a person's dressing for the better... so this time was at orchard... :) ST is really pro in shopping and she knows how to dress up very well... (of cuz we cant say bad things about people who help us right?) haha though sometimes i dont understand her definition of nice, but i really trust in her to help me... so i have learnt some lessons from our precious learning shopping trip...

1. don't wear purple even though everyone knows i love purple colour... she says sometimes it makes me look old... must depend on the shade... i am still trying to figure out wat shades suit me...

2. no lines at you-know-where... it just dun suit my figure...

3. NO NO NO! shocking pink is erm...

4. Try grey and blue... yes! its really nice...

5. sleeveless and long sleeves are great!

6. long tops are recommended... cuz my body is not-long...

7. matching shoes with the clothes is impt!

some of the points i remembered from the trip... hahaha thank you teacher ST... =p knowing what is suitable is not enough... i think must be brave enough to try... so i practically tried everything ST chose, not forgetting the unforgettable elf costume...

What did i buy?

- A grey & white striped dress which is really nice and looks so si wen...
- A black dress and white skirt which i matched them together to wear... its one of my favourite... reason: its very comfortable!
- A pair of black heels which i tink will come in useful for interviews, work, etc
- A pair of black capris pants which matches the above heels very well...

That's all for this shopping trip... :)
