Make Me Your Barbie Doll

It all started with a supposedly rhetorical question on what to wear on Jhon's birthday outing on twitter.



To my surprise, someone answered me and that someone is my lovely sister-in-law.

    Now, my SIL, who I call Kak Yana, has always known as one the fashionable person I know. Eversince I knew her, I always see her wearing those quirky but pretty outfit. Not exactly my taste but I am always amazed on how she managed to 'work it'.

[sorry Kak Yana, I stole your pictures lol]
And these are the somewhat "tame" outfits okay? She can get very colorful and random with her outfits.;)

Of course I am excited because I trust her with her fashion sense and she knows me long enough to know my preference in clothes. Even Jhon was really open to the idea which was to my suprise because I imagined him freaking out thinking Kak Yana will dress me up with colourful leggings (no offence Kak Yana, you look cool in it, definitely not on me hehehe)

So we made a last minute plan to meet up at Parkway Parade a day before Jhon's birthday which was on the 29th October.

And yes, I have a budget; $50.
Shopping in Parkway Parade with $50 is not an easy task so we agreed that we would probably get a top and accessories if we can afford it.

With baby Syihab slung across her chest and a big bag on her left shoulder, Kak Yana was clearly focused in finding me something different from what I would normally wear without going out of my comfort zone.

I would classify myself as average when it comes to clothes just no girly-girl outfilts and since I am not a big fan for shopping, I tend to also repeat my outfits. Thus the abovementioned tweets. 

Well, I thought it would be a somewhat difficult process because I can be really choosy but it was amusing that we managed to find a really nice blouse at the first shop we went!

And we went, "That's it?" So boring one can? haha So we went to other shops just to make it interesting. We also found a very nice blouse at the second shop and it can't be THAT easy right?

So we force ourselves to walk around the mall until we got tired and made Jhon choose which 2 blouses from the first 2 shops we went.

He made his choice (2nd shop) and we were superbly happy that its was cheaper than expected and even managed to get a great deal finding a necklace to match my new top.

Enough jibber-jabber.

Introducing my new lacy, off white, off-shoulder blouse with a green necklace and all below budget.

Although I have worn lacey outfits in the past, this is the first time I wore an off-shoulder top.

Yeah, yeah, perhaps to most of you, it's nothing different or special. But to me it is, because I was so stiff with the blouse because I am forced to be all prim and proper and can't jump around, flail my arms around. So Jhon likes it because sometimes he wishes I can just be normal and sit properly. >_<

And no, Kak Yana did not manage to put make-up on me since Jhon and I plan to have an early start. Don't think Kak Yana would be into waking up early. hehe

Shall end with my attempt to camwhore and act pretty. haha

[I know, lipstick would make the picture so much better]

Thank you, Kak Yana! We love it. ;)

Anyone else want to dress me up?
