SKORTS SUIT

SKORTS SUIT

August 24, 2015
Crystal Phuong- Singapore Fashion Blogger- Black skorts suit

In between traditional long pants and leg-flaunting shorts, there are things called skorts, which many women are crazy over it. Myself included.

This little skirt-meets-short piece is taking the fashion industry by storm with its versatility and chicness. I really love how easy and effortless it is to style this fun wardrobe staple. On off-duty days, I love wearing skorts with graphic tees and sneakers or gladiator sandals for a laid-back and sporty vibe. Otherwise, blazers and high heels will always be my picks to go with skorts if I opt for business casual attires.

Adding another black and white outfit into my "What to wear on Monday" story (You've probably seen the first two outfits here and here), I wanted to make a change with a bottom piece that is a little bit shorter than the usual pencil skirts or culottes. To brighten it up, I also brought a pop of red to the monochromatic outfit. It might not be the common look that you'll see often in the office space, but I'm pretty sure it's worth to take a risk, to be different, and to have fun with styles. Once in a while.

Have you ever worn skorts to the office before? What do you think of this look? Yay or Nay?

VOLVO IN STYLE

VOLVO IN STYLE

May 04, 2015

Last weekend, when my parents were still around, I had a chance to drive them around the city in a new four-wheeled baby called Volvo S60 T5. It was the first time mom and dad sat in my car and I'm so glad I made their first experience memorable and sweet.  My experience was beyond perfection, not only did I have mom and dad with me, but I also had the comfort and safety that this Volvo baby offered. 

I'm not going into details about the car's specifications, as I believe you can easily find that information on the internet. There was something extra added that made me impressed with Volvo S60 T5. These are security, preventive and protective safety features that give me a strong sense of protection whenever I'm behind the steering wheel. That's extremely important for me.  Although it was my first time driving a Volvo, I had the feeling like we had known each other for a long time. It's like meeting an old friend in a new place. That's how comfortable and easy driving this baby was.   

While I was still thinking of how to introduce a car to my fashion blog, my mom helped by pulling out this Lipsy printed dress from my wardrobe. Then, she continued: "Now that you have the car as your best accessory, it's time to put on a perfect dress and be the successful woman you always wanted to be." That's my mother. Now you know where I get my strength and determination from. Thank you mom for always encouraging, supporting, and motivating me to achieve my dreams!

 Thank you so much Volvo Singapore for partnering on this blog post! The fact that you picked my favorite car color (white) with my favorite number (07) in a car plate, without me telling you in advance, really amazed me. What an interesting coincidence! One last thing, if only this car belonged to me, for real!

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: EMERALD MIDI

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: EMERALD MIDI

January 27, 2014

I first blogged about the emerald colored outfit "The Power of Emerald" in February in 2013. After almost a year, I found myself writing the same topic again with so much excitement and still being inspired by this rich-and-unique color. There is a common thing that is so hard to explain about these 2 blog entries. Last year, I published "The Power of Emerald" right before I left to the airport. This year is coincidently no difference. I'm trying to finish this blog entry so that I can start packing for my holiday trip in Vietnam in 2-day time. How did the whole coincident-thingy happen? I had no idea, but it did feel like talking about an old friend after a long time. 

 It's also crazy to see how long did I take to wear that necklace. If it hadn't been for the emerald midi skirt, I wouldn't have the chance to bring this unique necklace out for a spin again. However let's not talk about the necklace today. I wanted to share with you my 1970s moment when I wore this gorgeous emerald midi skirt out 2 weeks ago. 

I've been saying many times how much I love the midi skirt. I've tried to stop myself from buying too many of them, but it's so hard to ignore this particular skirt. As a statement piece on its own, the emerald midi skirt is such a luxurious, sophisticated and glamorous wardrobe staple that needs very minimum accessories to go with it. I mean, you could instantly look chic and be a head-turner whenever you put the skirt on. For some reasons, this look reminded me of Carrie Bradshaw in Sex And The City movie. She always looked so feminine, so elegant and classic in long dresses or long and voluminous skirts. Despite the fact that her life story and mine strangely have so many things in common, I'm obsessed with her style and of course, her wardrobe. 

 Notice the people looking at me from behind? Were they waiting for their buses or  were they wondering: "How could this girl walk so dangerously on the street like that?." The thought made me laugh. It was a quiet one-way street in the afternoon, and I decided to take the risk having some Carrie Bradshaw moments of my own. On the other hand, I assumed and insisted that people were looking at my skirt.

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: CLASSIC MIDI

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: CLASSIC MIDI

January 09, 2014

Whenever I'm wearing a midi skirt, it always reminds me of my mom for some reasons. I remembered that I saw many midi skirts (in all different colors, materials, styles and prints) in her closet when I was a kid. My mom loves any outfit that makes her feel feminine, ladylike and sophisticated, and so do I (now I understand where is my style influenced by). That also explains why I completely and immediately felt in love with this classic silhouette when I first saw it on the runway. 

 It's time to bring it to the real way!

 When my mom was in town 2 weeks ago, I brought her to my photoshoot and let her see what her daughter's day look like at work. I purposely wore this midi skirt as I knew she would be happy looking at me wearing one of her favourite wardrobe staples. I asked her: "Mom, did you see your younger self in me?" and I received the answer that made me laugh: "Yes! But I didn't wear hat". 

 Fashion always comes back around. It's amazing to see some basic items in our closet can live through time and generations. All we need is just a simple twist to bring it back to the present and to make it alive again.

 Writing this first outfit blog post of 2014 makes me feel like raiding my mom's closet when I'm back home. Who knows what hidden treasures I might find. :D

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: MERRY CHRISTMAS

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: MERRY CHRISTMAS

December 22, 2013

It's that time of the year again when the streets are filled with so many lights, beautiful colors and  decorations that you know it's Christmas; the season of gift giving, receiving and sharing the happiness, laughter and love. It's the only time for people who live far away from home to think of coming back to where they were born and to appreciate the meaning of "Home is where the heart is". Reunion, that's what we call it. 

Living in the heart of Orchard Road, the iconic shopping paradise and cosmopolitan playground of Singapore, it's hard for me not to feel excited about Christmas. You can even tell from what I wore to have these photos taken right outside a shopping mall nearby my house. I found myself excited as a kid looking at the sparkling lights and beautifully wrapped gifts (even though they are just the empty ones) everyday. 

I'm a very last minute person and a terrible planner when it comes to "What to do to celebrate Christmas?", but there is one thing I know for sure; this Christmas is going to be my best Christmas because I have my mommy to celebrate with me. This is our first Christmas and New Year celebration together. 

No matter what you do, which part of the world you are at, I wish you a very warm, happy and merry Christmas. May this Christmas be so special that you never feel lonely and always be surrounded by your loved ones. May Christmas shower you with joy, happiness and lot of luck. 

Enjoy your Christmas celebration with your loved ones and don't forget: Keep Calm and Read Crystal Phuong's blog :D
