Downsized Perfectly.

This lovely 'fitted' sweater dress in purple was bought in baggy size.
Originally is an oversized dress with length below the knee. 
I usually wear it with sneakers in street style look.
"Honey, I shrunk the purple wool dress!" 
Yes, this is what my bf told me when he mistakenly thrown my lovely dress into the washer >.<
Thanks god that was oversized, so it shrank to the right size now ^.^
As seen it has shrunk to nearly two sizes, from size Large to Small.
(So bad i don't have photo to show the original look of this baggy sweater dress)
Unbelievably, the sweater is now thicker yet softer then before.
Even the knitting pattern on the dress become more visible & firm.
The sweater dress changed its style from baggy-street to office-appropriate.
To avoid wool sweater shrink to nearly doll-size, we have to be very careful when clean it. 
Wool will shrink easily when get wet, so use a mild soap instead.
Anyway, if you accidentally ruin your favorite sweater, you might not be totally out of luck.
Shrunken wool can sometimes be restored by soak it in a tub of cool water & hair conditioner, 
then try to pull it back into original size.
Overlay the sweater dress on a white blouse with embroidery detail on the collar.
Compliment the pretty collar with a trendy perspex necklace.
Carrying my favorite hand woven bag from my super grandma to complete the knitting style.
Pairing bright socks to add a splash of color to the white sneakers.
Enjoy your holiday!

Review: Knitting Dreams.

One of my favorite fashion trend is definitely knitting style.
As knit is bold without being flamboyant, while comfortable yet still figure flattering.

Decided to wear overall in neon to create a truly bold & daring look. (here)
There's nothing more comfortable than slipping on a cosy knit dress.
This adorable vintage dress in butter yellow do melt my heart...(here)
This MNG knitted dress in nude is one of my favorite piece.
Nude shade is very pretty, feminine & elegant color. (here)
The warm fabric of this knitting dress is perfect for the low temperature in the cinema. (here)
Wearing a knit suit made with wool blend from H&M do keep my body warm.
Especially in love with the colors combination & the knitting pattern. (here)
Thinking to wear a colorful outfit for the grey sky and rainy day.
This colorful sweater definitely can brighten up my rainy-day-mood. (here)
Match my mom's little white knitted dress with my bf old jacket to create an interesting contrast.
Wearing military jacket over a little knit dress is a great way in balancing the 
masculine & the feminine look. (here)
Knitting camo pattern on pencil skirt is an emphasize on playful detail and silhouette.
This perfect piece allow me to stay comfortable and chic all day. (here)
Hope you enjoy the post!

Fairy Fairytale.

It's going to be a lovely weekend here after a busy week.
This week(or month) was too crazy, looking forward to blog more when I'm free...
These lace shorts are practical & everyday essential especially on a lazy day.
Stunning lace shorts are a great alternative to denim as style that matched comfort.
As you know, i could never pull off floral print...
Shorts with delicate ditsy floral embroidery pattern definitely for a sweet look ^.^
Matching sheer top with lace shorts are super feminine ^.^
Lace and polka dots will enhance our beauty with a touch of timeless style.
Sheer top tucked into the lace shorts would definitely show our confident!
They allow us to go from cute casual day to a glamorously cool at night.
Wearing a beaded peter pan collar necklace to compliment the retro look.
Fake necklace aren't new trend but definitely one of my favorite to complete a style.
Pair of wooden wedges heels & a woven handbag for a Bohemian look.
While a pair of earth-toned socks will add a vintage country feel to the overall look.
Have a lovely weekend and a good rest!
