OOTD for schools! (F21 style)


Hello everyone who is reading this! and welcome here! Make yourself comfy!

Okay, let me start this question.
 Do you like the outfit you're wearing to school?

We'll always know the struggle every morning when we're in the school. You know, when you're in a rush and you need to do things fast. You have to pack your homework in your backpack, do your hair, brush your teeth and even eat something for breakfast! Sometimes, you just have no time to pick any outfit! I mean, come on, sometimes some of us even need to finish our assignments in the morning before school, right? *guilty*

And that's the very reason why we always go back to the universal school outfits we have in our wardrobe. The basic t-shirt and jeans! I can't blame anybody for this but we can totally upgrade them to a better version!

And here's how!

#1 Romper/ Jumpsuits/ Overall
This seriously is a lifesaver! While everyone thinking how to style that top with the bottom, you just need to pick up a romper and you're good to go! This thing, save you from wasting your time in the morning plus most of them is super comfortable to wear! The only down side that I can think of is when you need to go to the washroom. However, they give you this stylish look without you really planning the whole outfit!

Why coat?

  • Go with basic tee! (just layer a short or a skinny jeans)
  • Give you the timeless and classy style
  • Good investment because you can wear it for formal and informal events
Why turtleneck sweater?
  • the trend is back!
  • literally it's scarf+sweater and they come in one!
  • comfy and cozy
How to style overall?

  • any graphic/basic tops will do

#2 Must-haves to accessories!
When you're stuck with basic outfits, put on some necklaces or something extra to make your style more sophisticated. You don't need a lot, just one statement piece is enough! 

Let's be real here, what we all need is some handy and practical things. Tote bag or a cute backpack is a must to put all of your books and files! 

For shoes, I prefer flats or something comfy to walk in. If you're more comfortable with high heels, hey, go on! 

p/s: Beanie is good for second hair day!


As you can see, I didn't choose colorful clothing because I like how the earth's color mix and match together which gives up a casual vibe :)

Let's talk about brave (teen) + How I be brave

Hello people,
I had been away from blogging for a few days because I got sick(sad face). But, I didn't recover yet.

There are some kids in school that were labelled 'fearless'. They often seems so brave to do everything. Like everything that we won't dare to do. If you're thinking, "that's me!". Well, then congratulations that you don't have the need to know how to be brave because you already learnt that. I believe nobody in this world is born with bravery right in them. In other way, I don't believe in the myth that said that bravery is born. I know brave can be made. Bravery is caused by the surrounding and the people we connect to. 

Now, as a teen, I am shy. But not that kinda shy that don't talk to anyone. I will say I am normal-ish shy. I am normal when I am with my gang but when I am dealing with new people, I will turn into a turtle. I will hide my head right in my shell when I am feeling strange. I won't talk much with the new friends that I made. That's because I feel safe there. Still, I will try to communicate with them. I usually pretend to be brave. When I need to deal  with something, like public speaking, I will pretend that I am fine with it but I am not in the inside.

You see, we dare to sing with a group of friends but not solo. Maybe, you're brave enough to sing alone in front of the whole school however I am not. I am like all of you. I only dare to sing when I am with a group of friends. Perhaps, I think the fear has been share by my friends when we're singing together. I mean, come on, we're human, it's normal to feel that way.

So, how do you be brave? I can't say that I had experience thousands of challenges since I am still young. Still, what I will say is being brave isn't doing things that are dangerous and harmful. Being brave is you to do what you want without thinking what the others might comment and judge you. Remember this in your mind:

"When you're young, you're crazy NOT to be taking risks and attempting new opportunities. Regret for not trying is much worse than failure. You increase your chances to success when you increase the number of times you try to be successful." -Joel Kent Holland III
I mean the key for me to be brave is that time flies. If you do something stupid, not everyone will remember it. They will just forget. You probably be the only one who remember the stupid things you did in the past. Plus, if you don't do it now, you might also do it later. It's the matter of time. Now that you're young and you have time, so why don't you(we) do everything we want? I don't mean to ask you to do bad and negative things here, okay? Do something that you wanted to try for the longest time. For example, you wanted to cut your long hair off, but everyone said that you look better with long hair, so you didn't cut it. That's a waste of time! The truth is, if you cut now, you will have times to let it grows back. It had been a difficulty to grow back your hair, never. If the short hairstyle is not suitable with you, then it's okay. I promise noone will remember how you look like after a few months. Time will do it for you.

Try things that you want. I need to admit that I am not the bravest girl but to be completely honest, at least I try my best to be brave. I try my best to walk out of my comfort zone although maybe it was merely a few steps. I am proud to say I tried. Do you try anything new today?

What to do in holiday (summer at home)

Hmm... 

What cha do in holiday? Vacation? Beach? Or nothing?

For me, I am always thinking about what to do. What should I do? Most importantly, what can I do?

Although, going out might be fun but sometimes you might just have no choice and need to stay at home. Or you're too lazy to get up and go out. I did feel the same way sometimes, feels that it is a lot easier to snug in my bedroom and don't want to judge by anyone.

Things I do that is fun for me during holiday at home!

1. Social Media

You guess it! I go to YouTube, Tumblr, Pinterest and Facebook. I am such a huge fans for youtube and I honestly think I can watch hundreds of videos everyday! Tumblr is just like a mini blog and it is widely used now and I just scroll through the thing like what I do in Facebook! I love seeing those beautiful images from the pinterest's users. They're so creative and informative!

2. Books

I know it sounds nerdy yet it is the best thing you can do! I am not asking you to read your textbook but still if you want to read them, go ahead! I usually read young adult novels. For instance, Divergent and The Fault in Ours Star. Somehow, I don't really like fantasy novels because I find them difficult to imagine, so I rather watch the movies. I know there're loads of people love fantasy novel but not me. Sometimes, I love reading something that I am interested in like cute romantic stories or really just some chic lit type of books. For books that more intense, I love reading those self-help or so called self enrichment books. I know it's weird and people always asked me why I am reading it. I think they have things that I could learn to improve myself. The main thing is that I wanted to be successful (yes, successful!). Books like 'How to be happy', 'How to improve your memory' and stuff like that really catches my eyes. If you have any book suggestions, tell me at the comment section below! I have been in a book hunt recently!

3. Photography

Yeah, kinda random but I love to take photos of the clouds and anything that I love. Photo is a good way to capture and freeze a moment that can be last forever. You might not be a professional photographer, however it do not take a professional to take pictures! Just take some photos and share it with your family or friends if you want. Keep them in your album if you're shy to show them. If you like me, love to look at your childhood pictures, then you'll probably want to see your teenage pictures when you're an adult. Don't just take selfie. Imagine that you can only see your face of you as a child because your parent helped you to take selfie when you're young. What will you think? Horrible, right? You might just get bored by your own face.

4. Try to cook

It's a hidden talent in everyone! We're suppose to cook for ourselves when we're an adult. It's a responsibilities to cook for your kids. You can either asked your mum to teach you or learn from some cook show! It's easy! Ingredients+how to cook=delicious dishes. But wait, of course you need to practice and try to cook! It is always the hardest at the beginning! Don't give up!

5. Update your journal

Not everyone has the habit to write everyday! I bet you didn't! Journal for me is like a documentary of your life and I always enjoy reading my old diaries. The way I think when I was in elementary school always make me laugh like a fool. Buy a book that you like so you will be excited to write everyday! I love to write on a book instead on a laptop since when you're writing, you can see your limited edition, one and only handwriting! You can doodle easily and paste pictures in it. I had tried to write daily but I failed. I forget them and I usually update them once in a month. Yeah, only twelve pages every year! That's why writing journal in summer is essentials for me!

6. Clean your room!

How long since the last time you clean your room? Yesterday? Last week? or last month? Don't get lazy with your room. You sleep there, play there, dance there and do a lot of things there! How can you leave them with a mess everyday? Lack of inspiration to clean your room? It is not always easy to get up and and clean. But trust me, you will be so proud and thankful to yourself after cleaning them! And don't forget your closet, too.

7. TV marathon

I love watching telly although it is slightly unhealthy for us. But who don't like a good tv shows? Or movies?
What I always do is stop watching after 2-3 hours of the shows since your eyeballs need some rest! Rest for an hour or two. Then, I will continue my marathon. Remember to stop for awhile. Of course, holiday isn't fun with only tv shows. This is just a reward from me to myself after studying for a whole semester.

8. Make some new friends!

Hello? How to make friends when you're at home? Easy! You can find friends on  internet but be careful when you're making one. Go to a site where it is safe and has good reviews. Be nice and friendly, then you will make new friends in no time! Click here for more information.

9. Learn something new

For example, learn how to play a guitar or take a courses from a website. Khan academy is good if you want to learn something.

Outfit of the day + outfit ideas (forever 21 style)

Outfit 4 (Forever21 Style)

What are you going to do on summer?

Do you have plans already?

Do you think of hanging out with friends? Or going to the beach?

Forever 21 is everywhere and easy to find! I get so excited just by looking at these clothes on their site(You can see that from how many exclamation marks I used in this post XD)!  Everything there are just perfection! Words can hardly describe my feelings. I want to own all if them and I am not even kidding.

This look is so 'appropriate' for summer! And beach!
The swimsuit is white, crochet and high-neck which you can see at everywhere for the high-neck trend. These elements make it stand out of the other bikinis. The white color is able to make your tanned skin appears darker. People always put like a cardigan/ kimino on a bathing suit. Seeing that this swimsuit has nice top, why not show it off? Add a maxi skirt as a cover on. This sheer southwestern print maxi skirt makes this whole outfit suitable for either at beach or go shopping at the mall, just put on a pair of white lace up boots and you will be good to go. Of course, when you're at the beach, no shoes is needed. Enhance your appearance with a sunglasses to protect your precious eyeballs!

Want to hang out with friends?
I am in a black and white color mood when I am picking up clothes for this casual nonetheless well-dressed. This white tops go flawlessly with this grey tie dye skirt. A  mini black fedora hat to augment this classy style. The hint of gold from the mini shoulder bag and the ankle strap heels as the highlights of the look. For this look, I don't want to have jewelry because I want the gold color to pop in this quite look. The tie dye skirt is to add more life to this outfit as there are only black, white and gold. I absolutely love this shoes because I think it is so unique and very chic to wear on. The mini sized of the bag just add some cuteness while providing space for you to only bring  essentials in it. Don't try to overpack stuff in your bag since you're going to carry it everywhere and you don't want to feel the pain from your shoulder when you're having fun.

I match a trendy sleeveless black crochet crop top and the printed harem pants to create a simple yet somewhat presentable outfit. I had noticed that I don't really cooperate long trousers in my 'outfit of the day' series, so this will be it. Some people might think that printed clothing is out of their comfort zone however it is easy to style with if you give it a try! For the accessories, I choose a hat with flowers on it or a colorful bracelet. Isn't them sound summer-y? Ah... forever 21 shoes are the best! The black cut out boots is a must-haves if you're thinking to invest in a good quality of boots. If you want to keep things down, try a nude or pinkish sandals. You can add rings and midi rings of your choice to enrich your look!

All of the clothing items mentioned above are from forever21. You can get them at their stores, too.

This is the end of my ootd series, hope you guys have find some inspirations and have a nice day!
