Long time no outfit post right?? Although I feel like deep down some part of me will always be hesitant about using the word "outfit" ever since one of my teachers told me she found the word ridiculous. But it's not like I'm going to start calling them ~look posts~ anytime soon. Definitely not OOTDs either... nope.

So basically I'm getting all of my winter and all-black looks out of my system since apparently it's already Spring here (not to say I won't be wearing all-black in warmer months too). I am so not ready, I still have so many winter things I need to get more wear out of !!! I've been taking advantage of every cold day during this transitional period. What do you guys do when you're in a race against the seasons?

Check out my video of this look below. Be sure to subscribe as I'll be hosting a special 1000 subscriber giveaway (and also my first giveaway ever) really soon! Details TBA, but I can say that there will be two winners :-)

10 Shopping Tips

My newest video is my ultimate Top 10 Shopping Tips that I live by when it comes to shopping for clothes and accessories both IRL and online.
A summary of my tips are below. Be sure to check out the video for the full details :-)

1 - Before purchasing a clothing item for everyday wear, visualise THREE outfits you would wear that incorporate this new item.
2 - Know your body measurements and clothing measurements.
2B - Carry a tape measure with you.
3 - Buy it knowing that you will wear it soon.
4 - If you have a clothing piece you're hesitant to wear, wear it immediately!
5 - When you're out shopping, wear your best-fitting nude underwear.
6 - If you're considering an expensive designer piece, know if it will be easy to resell.
7 - Check the fabric content before buying an item of clothing.
8 - If you like a 2nd opinion, shop with a knowledgeable and honest friend.
9 - When it comes to online shopping, do as much research on sizing as possible.
10 - If you find something inexpensive that you love, buy another.

If you already use any of these tips, try out any for yourself, or have additional tips of your own I would love to hear about it!

Giza Girl

Joyrich x Giza sweatshirt, American Apparel shorts, thrifted bag, vintage silk scarf from Chicago Thrift Shimokitazawa, Giza necklace, Windsor Smith boots, rings vintage/from eBay/borrowed from Mum.

Do you ever have those clothing items that once you acquire them it's like... how did I ever go so long without one of these ?? For me this applies to a quality oversized sweatshirt. You're prob thinking, "why not just get an XXL from the men's section at K-Mart?" well thankfully I didn't need to after finding this perfect Joyrich x Giza sweat that I had been eyeing for long time. I like it so much I even ordered it in white as well. You know you really like something when you gotta have it in every colour.

Below is my new outfit vid featuring this look ^_^ Apologies if it feels a little Groundhog Day, I'm still figuring out ideal spaces around my home and neighbourhood for filming (so far my bedroom still has some of the best lighting!) but hopefully I will be trying out some new backdrops soon!
