{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: CLASSIC MIDI

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: CLASSIC MIDI

January 09, 2014

Whenever I'm wearing a midi skirt, it always reminds me of my mom for some reasons. I remembered that I saw many midi skirts (in all different colors, materials, styles and prints) in her closet when I was a kid. My mom loves any outfit that makes her feel feminine, ladylike and sophisticated, and so do I (now I understand where is my style influenced by). That also explains why I completely and immediately felt in love with this classic silhouette when I first saw it on the runway. 

 It's time to bring it to the real way!

 When my mom was in town 2 weeks ago, I brought her to my photoshoot and let her see what her daughter's day look like at work. I purposely wore this midi skirt as I knew she would be happy looking at me wearing one of her favourite wardrobe staples. I asked her: "Mom, did you see your younger self in me?" and I received the answer that made me laugh: "Yes! But I didn't wear hat". 

 Fashion always comes back around. It's amazing to see some basic items in our closet can live through time and generations. All we need is just a simple twist to bring it back to the present and to make it alive again.

 Writing this first outfit blog post of 2014 makes me feel like raiding my mom's closet when I'm back home. Who knows what hidden treasures I might find. :D

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: GREEN WITH ENVY

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: GREEN WITH ENVY

November 18, 2013

Have you ever looked at one piece of clothes in the store and immediately be reminded of the other staple in your wardrobe? And you knew exactly what to wear, how to style it. That's what happened to me when I went shopping at ZARA few weeks ago and found this green top with asymmetrical hem tucked among hundred items on the sales rack.

The green top looked ordinary on the display stand (just like many other tank tops) until I picked it up, had a closer look and felt it with my own hand, I'M SOLD. Strangely enough, it even led to me to think of my one and only vertical striped pants which I have not been wearing them for long time. I only wore the pants twice since I bought them 2 years ago. When I imagined how this green top could go so well with my pants together, I had no reason why not to bring "her home. 

There are so many things I love about this simple top. Besides the silky soft material, loose fitting and the rich green color, I absolutely adore the asymmetrical hem with the ruffle detail on this top. It's long enough to cover my belly button, but short enough to show some skin when it's appropriate. It's fun, girly and flirty outfit which is truly my style. 

While the vertical striped pants seem to be more daring, bold and edgy, the wavy subtle green top is the perfect "partner" to cool "him" down and to make everything work. A floppy hat and a pair of matching heels were there on purpose to add in some classic and elegant "flavors". The whole look and feel of this outfit turned out exactly as what was in my mind few months ago. 

Now, it's time to let the outfit speak for itself. I've done my part as a match-maker. 











Thank you so much for reading! I hope you enjoy looking at these beautiful photos shot by me and Alicia, my favorite photographer. I can't wait to share with you more in the next blog post. 
Meanwhile, shop for this outfit here!

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: STRIPES OBSESSION.

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: STRIPES OBSESSION.

August 07, 2013

I must admit, there is one type of outfit that I keep going back to recently is striped outfit. You've probably seen me wearing and blogging about it many times here yet I still find it difficult to cover all different styles and pairings for this simple and classic fashion staple. 

 People often put a blame on horizontal stripes for making the wearers look bigger than their actual size  but that is not true. I've ever seen a lady whose size is 3 times bigger than mine yet still looked so elegant, chic and beautiful in her striped outfit. Perhaps, it still points down to "How you wear your outfit" at the end of the day. 

 Last week, I attempted to go all the way with stripes on stripes outfit to go to work and to see how it turned out. I could't complain much as even with the #breton stripes covered me from head to toe,  I DID NOT find my body grow any extra inches horizontally. With the red blazer layered on top, I was very comfortable in my own skin and ready to run many meetings in a day. 























In conclusion, there is nothing scary about a stripe. This, in fact, is a classic pattern that is so flattering  and fun to wear. If you love striped outfits but don't know what are the tips and tricks? click HERE to read more.  

Thank you so much for reading everyone. 
I'll talk to you soon. 
Love, 
Crystal

Crystal's Closet: Horizontal Striped Flounced Skirt

Crystal's Closet: Horizontal Striped Flounced Skirt

April 17, 2013
Hi everyone,

Hope you guys had a great week so far. It has been terribly busy weeks for me after I came back from US to catch up with many pending emails, blog entries, client's enquiries and so on...

Today outfit post is about the outfit I wore on Thursday last week -_-. I know I'm supposed to write about today (Tuesday) outfit instead, that shows how far I am from blogging, omg! 

Anyway, let's take a look at what I have for you guys today: striped flounced skirt. 





Not very often you will see such a cute striped piece like that. It fits at the top and flares out at the bottom to create more volume and sweetness. Most of the time, what you see in store are: striped pencil skirts or striped circle skirts, but striped flounced skirts are rare. That's the reason why when I first saw this skirt, I just had to take it home. 


To make it more appropriate for work, I paired up the skirt with the chiffon blouse and layered a blazer on top. Blazer is always the best rescuer for everything. 

And that's how it turned out. :D


Arm-candy is  a MUST to me now and I always feel empty whenever I step out with a bare hands. It's just weird! :D
