Outfit of the Week: Prep in my Step

For those who know me well enough, then you'd know that preppy is not how you'd describe my style.  But even if that's the case, I'm also willing to explore and step out of my comfort zone.  It was a good thing I did!  Because I enjoyed wearing this preppy outfit so much, I went out and shopped for more!  LOL.  Noticed my shoes?  It's the return of the see-through oxfords!  I'm so in love with this pair - it's not your average pair of oxfords.  And since I'm constantly on the lookout for something different, this is definitely me.  The bag, on the other hand, is the result of a Macau shopping spree.  I couldn't say no when the salesperson took it out fresh from the box.  I love how the color pops, and how the style is so functional.  I can definitely bring it to trips abroad!  Like my outfit?  Comment below please! :)

Outfit of the Week: The Playsuit

Aside from shirtdresses, maxidresses and t-shirt dresses, my next favorite outfit has got to be playsuits and jumpsuits.  For those who are unfamiliar, playsuits are also known as rompers, which are one-piece top and shorts combo, while jumpsuits are one-piece top and pants combo.  Today I'm wearing a beaded playsuit I got from Miss Selfridge and the clear loafers from Bass.  Back story:  I've wanted this playsuit for the longest time, but refused to fork over the retail price.  So I waited.  And waited.  Until finally they went on sale!  Will you believe that I got this piece for 70% off the retail price plus an additional 10% off?!  What a steal!  The additional 10% off was because some of the beads have already fallen out, but since there were additional beads provided and I know how to sew, it wasn't a problem at all!  A little bit of sewing after and the playsuit is already in perfect condition.  Fabulous!

Miss M's 2013 Hong Kong Shoe Finds

A girl can't have too many shoes.  How many times have we all heard that?  Confession:  I can never, ever resist a good pair of shoes.  As long as they look good or cute, I'll snap it up!  So now, after all those food posts, now comes the shopping post.  After all, Hong Kong is Asia's ultimate shopping destination!  Let me share with you guys some of my amazing shoe finds during our trip!

How can you go wrong with studs and see through shoes?  Answer?  You don't!  Hubby was the one who actually saw this.  Knowing my love for anything special and weird, he excitedly called me up and told me he had something to show me.  True enough, I fell in love with this pair the moment I saw it.  The bad thing is, the store didn't have my size so I had to travel 12 subway stops (to and from) in 30 minutes and run like a madwoman to get it.  Tsk tsk, the things us girls do for shoes!

This one came as a bonus.  No, it's not free (how I wish).  Rather, while I was getting the other pair above (first photo), I saw this one and liked it so much that I got it too!  At least the loooong subway trip wasn't for nothing, I hit two birds with one stone!  The details might look very much alike with the first one, but they will never, ever be mistaken for the same shoe. 

Adidas x Jeremy Scott

Ah, Jeremy Scott.  The mastermind behind out of this world, wonderfully weird shoes.  He really does pay great attention to detail.  Just look at it.  Saw this pair during our previous trip, but didn't think much about it.  It was when we finally got back that I regretted so much for not buying it.  Good thing we had another trip coming!  This pair was the first thing I looked for when our plane landed in Hong Kong!  Still trying to figure out what outfit to wear with it though... LOL.

Bass x Rachel Antonoff

Now this pair was my extra last minute purchase.  Literally half an hour before we boarded the train to the airport!  I was actually looking for another pair and chanced upon this one.  Ultimate.  Shoe.  Lust.  It's like wearing nothing!  All I did was hope that they have it in my size.  And finally when  the shoe guy came out with a box, I can't thank the shoe gods enough!

So what do you guys think?  Amazing huh?  The most amazing part is, I got all of them on sale!  Yep, didn't pay full price for any of the shoes here.  Cool huh?  I'm in loooove with these new pairs.  Can't wait to take them all out for a spin!

Oh and before I forget, there's one extra special pair that I think deserves its own post.  Curious?  Do watch out for my next post!
