H&M Conscious Collection salmon lace skirt - $24.90


Two Fridays ago, I meant to participate at my gym's special Body Pump challenge. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to leave work in time so I didn't make it to class. Since I was already in Orchard Rd, I decided to drop by H&M. I didn't even spot this skirt until I was on my way out. I was drawn to this shade of salmon


and this gold zipper detail at the back.
Thinking of pairing this with a bright blue men's tee, white button-down or denim shirt.


Speaking of denim shirt, the Zara sale is on. Dropped by yesterday and managed to pick this up. 


Zara short-sleeved denim shirt marked down from $69.90 to $49.90


Saw this shirt weeks ago and I already liked the soft denim material and the light wash. But I found it a bit pricey. Patience rewards this time! 



I also like this unfinished detailing on the sleeve.
I can already think of many items in my closet that I can pair this with. Winner!

here i go again

Have to run off to the airport in an hour for my cousin's wedding and extended to a summer holiday. But first, I wanted to share a few pictures. 
I've mentioned before that I have been looking for a lace-y white dress or skirt and this is the exact look I had in mind in terms of styling the skirt - paired  with something "rougher" like my ever-dependable utility vest.



It's a shame the camera can't capture the silver details of the skirt. 


I just love the contrast of the delicate lace with the blue-collar staple of utility vest. 


Since I am travelling home right smack in the middle of summer, I've packed with me a lot of light and comfy garments - most you have seen here before but hopefully I'll have time to squeeze in some outfit shots. 


Have a good weekend!
