it's absolute essential crop top!:8 ways to wear it

i just purchased the crop top from cotton.ink's new collection: absolute essential. just like the name, it's absolutely essential! i really think it's something everyone should own in their closet for its versatility. they also came with the cutest pocket and pin!
at the first glance, i thought it will be tricky to wear. but after a few experiment, i just realize that this is actually the most essential thing ever.
now i'm gonna show you how my experiment went!

experiment 1
i never want to show my belly off, so hipster pants is out of the options. i wear the high waist one instead. and this pants is just perfect for the eighties vibe.

experiment 2
still in the high-waist field, but now i tuck the top into the pants. FYI this crop top has the perfect length, not too short, nor too long it still considered as a crop top.

experiment 3
err...it's not really another experiment since i just add a blazer and shawl (also from cottonink). but i wanna tell you i really love the color of this blazer. i don't know why, i always drawn into this lime-greenish color recently. it might be my new favorite color. lime green is the new grey. yay to colors!

experiment 4
clashing pattern. and the touch of green.

experiment 5
wow another lime green! but actually, this is an experiment of crop top over dress. the belt accentuate my waist, make me look slimmer. love it. haha!


experiment 6
ok now, this is something that gonna give my hubby heart-attack, LOL, but i actually like it. the turban is made from tubular convertible shawl, and i did some knot to the crop top. flashing my tummy just a bit, still tolerable..hehe..


experiment 7
the turban still there, now along with harem pants.

experiment 8
here's the proof that the crops not only good for casual day but also for working time (at least for creative worker). i'm so gonna try this if i were working. but i'm not. now i miss my office.. sigh.

after those experiment, i can imagine plenty other ways to wear it. but eight is enough, i guess. being a stylist, a photographer also a model all at once is really tiring. and i don't want you get nausea for staring at me too long! ahaha...
now, are you interested to give this crop thing a try?

foto colongan...

so sorry for the lack of update, while i promote this blog on every social network i'm in! *shameless*

i was so busy on everything for the last days, and i don't know what to post since i have no time to take a quick snap of my outfit (but it's boring, so you don't miss anything).
for many quick jump here and there with my husband, i used to wear my most comfortable outfit, high waist jeans (celana anti masuk angin) and long sleeve t-shirt with jacket.

btw, i found this photo of my friend on the facebook, and i stole it! *big evil grin* i like every detail she puts in here. black lace, belted waist, and zebra print!


her name is Vella. she's a member of a 'gang' we're in. (haha!) we used to share anything girly like fashion, make up and shopping. though we live not too far away (me in bandung, and she's in bogor) but we never had a chance to meet again after a long time. facebook is the only media to keep in touch with her.

vella, yiuukk kita maen mekap2an lagehhh...hahaha!

Good afternoon, saturday!

On saturday afternoon, I went to Bandung electronic center with my friend Icha. After a few (lots, frankly) teasing and encouragement (by me) *mengeluarkan jurus2 rayuan setan cap kadal*, finally she bought blackberry! Yippeee..

Btw, I haven't seen her again after she was married, so it's like our first housewife-gang hang out! I'm so excited!

So, instead of wearing trousers like I used to, I wear rarely-worn skirt on this rare moment.



This outfit is so simple but I love it. It fit the casual, easy saturday afternoon.. (Though what we've been through that day is not easy at all)

The jadulers

I found this photo in my photo folder yesterday, and I'm amazed of how I dressed then! Hihihihihi...



Btw, this photo was taken about two years ago, when I still have much time to hang out with friends (unlike now, for sure).

And the guy with red polo shirt and big smile is my husband. But he was my boyfriend then.





On me:

Scarf, tie rack

Tee, AIX

Vest, thrifted

Pants, thrifted

Bag, esprit

Shoes, some cheerleader shoes with no brand

warm black on shiny sun

Today I go out early in the morning to catch my first morning class. It was raining and chilly, so I decided to wear my comfy and warm outfit (not to mention the fact that I wanna wear my new purchasements X-P).



But the chilly weather stay for a very little while before it became hot and sunny!

Here I am, standing in my triple layering most-black outfit, sweaty as pig!

Darn weather!



Hmh, at least I look good.. *pede* LOL



Black tee, thrifted

Black long tank, random

Legging, random

Blazer, forgot the brand, purchased it from some FO

Shoes, candyfeet

Hello there!

It's still morning here, rain pouring down, the perfect situation to sleep again, while I have class at 7 am. Gosh!



Btw, this is my default style for a long time. High waist and animal print is my passion. I think I should live in the 80's. Haha!





Tie rack scarf

Venus in furs (by me) tee

Trf high waist jeans

Thrifted belt

Gray area

I don't know why, it seems like I always fall in anything grey. Be it light grey or deeper grey even silverish grey. This photo taken a few weeks ago, since I don't do much self-photographing (I always go to work in a rush, never had a time!), this is all I got.



I just purchased this extremely cheap legging (only idr30ribeng!), and tried it on with my grey cardigan and favorite-scarf-at-the-time. I will never wear this style outside though, since it doesn't securely hide my front and back side. Haha!





No brand cardigan,

French connection tee,

Super cheap legging,

Ciciero bag,

Charles and keith shoe

Vintage extra big scarf

Love-hate relationship

Yesterday, I wore this ugly-lovely pants which has love and hate relationship with me. At first I love it, but then I hate it, now I love it again, and then hate it.



It's been a while since the last time I wore it to some kind of costume party with 80's theme at the office (and everyone said I'm the winner).



I've abandoned it for a long time with two reasons:

1. The cutting is so yesteryear. It's the real vintage pants from the 80's, so it's purely describe the trend back then. I don't wanna look like I've jumped from the time machine! Duh!

2. The bottom side of the pants is too wide for me (and I have wide bottom y'all). It didn't fit well.



BUT, I do love it, because its high waist (which I love) and baggy cut (in alternatives of never-ending skinny). So I try it on again yesterday, and magically, it fit! Pantat longgar no more! Haha!



I wore it with pride to the office, and I did my usual work-thing, sitting in front of my computer. Then I feel my stomach hurt. TERNYATA, my pant's too tight in the stomach area. It's not too obvious when I stand, but when I sit, gosh I can't breathe!



Hhh.. I guess I'm bloating. *cry*



Dengan hati ga rela (karena mulai cinta) ikk terpaksa mempensiunkan ni celana. Huh, hate status!



PS: turn out it's not the pant's fault, karena I tried other pants today, and it's ohh.. Ketiiittss!! *cry louder*
