Happy Saturday everyone! I did not plan to have a post up for today but suddenly, while I was rolling on the bed after a market run, I remembered that I sort of forgotten to have a What I Wore post up LOL. Yet again. I would be missing another week of update if I continue rolling on the bed so here I am.

This OOTD was quite recent however the dress is not. I bought two of the same dress several years ago for a steal. Two for the price of one if I’m not mistaken. I have one in turquoise blue/green and this one in purple. I have not wore this dress before at all, not even once until last year, when I lost 7kg from depression. It’s funny how depression changes you and fitting into a dress which I had for years but never worn is not something I expected.

I wore this dress for Alainn Medispa launch at Platinum Park last month. It was a Saturday evening event and I didn’t want to dress up extravagantly so I went there quite casual. I wished I took a photo of the back of the dress because it was a low back dress. I think I lost some fat on my upper body that my shoulder shrank quite a lot despite not exercising for some time and all my clothes now are quite loose on the top. Everything just fell off my shoulder and that’s annoying. I had a glance of my back right before I left the house and I saw the bones of my spine poking out of my skin. I’m not skinny or whatever and I don’t know how I feel about that. The fat somehow ended up on my tummy. Darn it! So yes, tummy is not as flat as before *damn it!* but what the heck la. I don’t even bother now

Dress: P&Co, from many years ago (RM69.90, if I’m not mistaken)
Shoe: Sidewalk (RM69)
Necklace: Lovisa (can’t remember the price)

Phew! Mid of the month was a hectic one with back-to-back events. After two days of bouncing from one event to another and another, I am officially dead tired. I wonder how other bloggers did it because I cannot even survive past 2 days! All the events recently doesn’t really require me to dress up nicely except for one day, where I was bouncing from L’Erbolario Tra i Ciliegi launch to Etude House Pre-Opening Party to Cars 3 movie premiere.

My dress choice of the day? Zalora Water Colour Printed Swing Dress, which I bought quite some time ago but only wore it briefly once as I cannot find my strapless nude underwear . So I had this dress for months but not able to wear it out as it is very sheer and only specific underwear can be worn underneath. Now that I remember to sort out the underwear, this dress is out to see the day light.

It is absolutely comfortable to wear due to the flare design but the tight-fitting long lace sleeve gets a bit irritating by night time after being in the dress for more than 9 hours LOL. This dress was available in 2 colors. I never lean towards black so naturally white would be my choice. I also know that not many people would want to buy white as (1) it’s sheer, (2) it makes one look bigger, (3) it gets dirty easily. As expected the black piece was sold out not long later and this white still pops out in Zalora once a while. This is one of the piece that I did not wait for sale. I bought it at full price. No regret!

Dress: Zalora Water Colour Printed Swing Dress (RM79.90)
Heels: H&M Ankle Strap Heels (RM89.90, bought at RM39 markdown price)

I have a few beautiful new dresses in the wardrobe and one of it is this Lace Bodycon Dress. Tell you a funny story on this dress. I had three dresses in my shopping cart and I was checking out. I always pay for my dress purchases with my Paypal and that day, no idea what is wrong with me that I decided I wanted to make payment using my Maybank account. So I hit the go back button and the page went missing. Then I saw the so-called order in my account with “payment pending” on it. I clicked on the order, didn’t see any button to click so I could make payment and I wanted to re-add all the dresses into my cart so I could reorder. This Lace Bodycon Dress was the last piece so I wasn’t able to find it anymore. I called Zalora as I was desperate. Here’s what’s interesting. I was told the order did not went through (as I expected as I didn’t pay for it) and there is no way they could “release” this dress back into the market from their end. All I can do is to wait 4 hours for the system to auto-refresh. If I still didn’t see it in 4 hours, that means it will take 24 hours. Oh my gosh!

So, as you can expect it was a stressful day that day as I really wanted the dress and it was the one and only last piece available. To make things worse, I was about to go out for an event. That means in 4 hours time I will not be at home to snatch the dress into my cart and pay immediately. 4 hours late I checked Zalora site again and the dress is still unavailable. I continued with the event, went home, fire up my laptop in zero to hundred second and voilá! I saw the dress. No one have bought it!! My lucky day.

This Lace Bodycon Dress is by Something Borrowed and I got it for RM29 only. I had a 20% discount code with certain purchase amount and so I paid RM23.20 in the end. Besides Maxqullo and Missguided, Something Borrowed is one of the brand that I like from Zalora. This dress has lace all over. It is only available in Size M, which is a size larger than what I used to wear from Something Borrowed. But it fits me perfectly, with some spare spaces on the tummy, which I am quite happy with. Despite a size larger, it is super flattering on me, although the looser back doesn’t sit well on my smaller upper body. It has a long see-through lace sleeves with a deep-V back. I had my eyes on the black last time but this red is prettier than I expected. Plus I’ve always wanted a red dress so why not.

I wore this to Clarins Double Serum press launch two weeks ago. Red coincide with Clarins’ logo color. The event was one of the major launch for Clarins and it was held at St. Regis KL. This dress I say was perfect for the occasion, the event and the venue. And of course I have to pair this dress with a heels from my all-time favourite shoe brand, Billini

Dress: Something Borrowed Lace Bodycon Dress (RM29.90 after discount)
Heels: Billini Oasis (RM59 after discount)
Necklace: H&M Gold Dual-Long Necklace (RM10 after discount)
