I am currently busy re-organizing my wardrobe. Managed to sell-off a few things at flea markets and bazaars to make room for new things that will definitely fill up the space! (not that quantity matters, go figure)
Things will never be the same again and part of me is dying to try those new trendy sharp shoulder tops with skinny pants, bandage dresses, sky-high heels and platforms.. *sigh*
Guess I'd have to stick to skirts, tunics, leggings (which is sooo 2004), flats (ok, maybe kitten heels or two-inchers).. boy, I feel frumpy!
Let's see if I manage to still use some creativity on this!

So Yesterday
Yeah yeah.. I know my wedding is sooo over but as I was browsing through this space, I noticed I have not put a single photo of my wedding.. what a crime!
Just happen that I saw Rizman Ruzaini on tv today and apparently their collection is now based on layers and tiers.. so it kind of remind me to my wedding dress..
Said this many times and I'll say it again.. I have always had this long-term relationship with tiered tops, skirts, dresses.. honestly, since I was 6-7 years old.. when I used to annoy my mother every single day, calling her at work just to make her get me a tiered dress!
I know my body very well to identify the weaknesses and strengths.. I know I do not have strong shoulders and chest and that I have full cheeks but luckily I am quite blessed with height (for a Malaysian, I am quite ok) so I thought I should give more focus on the skirt to draw the attention away from my top..
I was browsing through a Martha Stewart wedding magazine and saw this beautiful, amazing Vera Wang gown that looked almost exactly as my dress (which was solely inspired by that gown), except that it was a strapless gown, layered all the way.. and I knew instantly that that's how my wedding dress should look like!
I know it was tough to finally capture the sewing technique but Nurita managed to figure it out. I was really nervous at the beginning, thinking my hips would probably look bigger than Beyonce's but it turned out fine! The tailoring was perfect, the cutting fits me well.. all I can say is.. it's different, I have not seen anything like it, at least locally.. it's me.. and it could never get any better than this.. I love it
