Of course it is no news that I’m a huge fan of vintage fashion and print shirts right? This is my all time favorite vintage shirt. I got it when the whole retro thing was making a re-entry into the fashion scene back in 2012.
I was a bit skeptical about buying it because it was almost two times my size but that ain’t never stopped me though and I just could not ignore that vibrant red colour and the print! Oh so delicious!
It became so sacred with me bringing it out for only correct waka. Lmao! Am i the only one who picks out certain outfits and mark them as “only for special occasions” or “never to be worn to that my dead ass medical school” ? *sigh*
These days, I just throw it on with my rugged old blue denim pants when I can’t be bothered to think up what to wear or when I’m stuck in a style rut but still need to represent small. The latter was the case on the day these pictures were taken, paired it with pink pants this time instead of the usual blue one and it turned out great!
Pictures were taken by @ted360 and I bullied the glasses off my friend Akin ( who has a totally awesome male fashion blog and you can check it out here)
Guys, I really need to De-clutter though! My wardrobe consists mainly of Vintage shirts, pleat skirts and a couple of other miscellaneous pieces although I’m slowly beginning to realize how unbalanced that is and trying to incorporate more “grown up” items to the whole mix.

Thumbs up on the outfit!
On decluttering, I've been feeling the same way. My style is pulling me is so many different directions I don't even understand yet like you said, very unbalanced.
I'd love some tips as well, I hope someone shares

Lool! You try well oh but yes you're right. I'm just so lazy i guess, the heap of clothes I have is just so scary but I need to just do it like nike
Thank you Sogie
love the outfit..
my advice would be to get basics also that are not necessarily vintage pieces..
i was obsessed about two years back also but i slowly started to grow into loving basics and plains.

Yess! I need basics sef for my school wardrobe so now I'm adding nice work chiffon shirts and blouses too
The shirt is actually nice
Thank you my love
I'm so with you on saving stuff for correct waka. I kept one top for over a year. Help me.
My wardrobe is unbalanced too. Mostly dark colours, not enough patterns too.
Lool! Mine is too much ehn! My sister will always tell me "just wear it out jor" , I'm beginning to loosen up though
Lovely colors!
Thank you babe
Get rid of the clothes you rarely( like rarely ) wear and try to shop frequently like almost everyday Lool seriously. Buy little by little and you'd be have full closet! I try to do that most times but a girl is broke 🙁 lol
Shop everyday!!? You want to ruin me abi winny?
That will even increase my clutter sef, you try oh
Amazing shirt, I love the vibrant colours and patterns. My only tip for you is to sit down and go through all your clothes, get rid of the items you have not worn in a while and all thing of new ways to restyle the items. I had to do a huge wardrobe clean out before leaving Bangkok and I realized I had so much things I needed to give away or get rid off.

TeamRetro! Always love shirts like this, I'm yet to find one I can pull forever. Being looking at that purse since its first feature on the blog 😉
You gave it a chic twist choosing the pink instead of blue pants, otherwise it almost looks regular
