Seriously, is it an exaggeration to say that anyone's who's into "fashunnn" seems to own a glen plaid blazer now?
Or a plaid anything, really?
I don't think there's anything wrong about jumping onto trends bandwagons, since, well, I'm doing it myself (obviously). But when an item is made popular by street-stylers and fashionistas who are always able to make most things look good, can you blame everyone else who wants a delicious piece of the action too?

But when I found it hard to walk away from these flat burgundy boots ("flat" being my favourite word, yo girl don't really do heels), I knew they were coming home with me.

But how do you wear these ubiquitous trends like everyone else and still be able to look like you?
Wear them with your favourite items and voilà , call the look your own, baybeh.
OWN it — have attitude and you're good to go!

I love this look, Liyana! It's such a cute and comfy look. I really love the blazer, and I don't anything plaid either. Thanks for sharing another awesome, post!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you love it xo It is VERY comfy actually, which is great as not all cute outfits are comfy, are they?
DeleteSomething in your eyes, your black scarf, your focus on the plaid blazer your casual t-shirt beneath a business blazer...I can't decide! I'm. BUT you look very sophisticated here my dear. You emulate those last words of wisdom about attitude and owning it. Lookin good Liyana!! Love, Jude
ReplyDeleteI don't think the word "sophisticated" is used a lot to describe my style but I'm SO happy to hear it from you! <3
DeleteWeirdly Shah is always the one telling me to "own" my outfits when I'm in doubt so I have to give him some of the credit too =)
Hi Liyana,
ReplyDeleteI´ve just run into your blog, and I am loving it! Very inspiring. xx

Hello Patricia,
DeleteI'm glad you ran into my blog - and that you love it! Thank you for letting me know, I truly appreciate the encouragement to keep on blogging <3
OMG girl, why so cantik? And also, when I look at your outfit and all of its amazing lil' deets and how you personalize urrrthang so that it oozes LIYANA, my heart just fell in love. I cannot get over how stylish you are in everything! Love the advice you gave about making looks your own and having the confidence to pull them off with attitude. Seriously, I drool over this look. LOVE <3
ReplyDeleteThe "cantik" thing is all from the magic power of makeup babe! I feel like if you and I battle in a woke-up-like-dis thing, you'd win with your natural beauty. I have to admit, my makeup turned out extremely well on this day and it showed in these photos, which really pleased me as it was on my birthday!
DeleteI'm glad you think this look is personalised, because I have seen sooo many people in the same outfit - plaid blazer, jeans, boots, but I love the look so much I wanted to give it a go. I probably should mention that I spent a lot of time in air-conditioned places in this outfit, or else I'd faint in our hot country's temp!
