It Was a Slow Day at the Carnival

First off, thanks and welcome to my new followers! Thanks for all the beautiful comments. I read each one and also make sure to follow back and visit your blogs. It's so inspiring to see everybody else's style. <3

Here's a quick casual outfit post. Wore this the other day when I was heading out to process my business name registration. I've been trying to make this whole business thing official. The shop is currently closed right now but I'm reopening soon and also adding a few handmade items. I just hope everything goes well. I'll give you a sneak peek of what I have in store once everything is official. I'm still in the process of trial and error; finding the best materials etc. Ooh, here's what I wore:

Had this top for some time now and I recently just found it after some closet diving. It's a vintage top that I got from Jacqueline Jarethshop. I'm obsessed with the front applique. After seeing all those gorgeous pieces at Chicwish, I knew I just had to wear this again. 

These American Eagle shorts are DIY. Last used here (when they were still intact.) Added the studs and distressed it a bit. I wish I had added more studs but I ran out. Didn't want to have to order and wait for so long before I could wear them so just went with this. What do you think?

My leather and denim oxfords! Used them for the first time and they're great. They're one size bigger but the laces help to keep them glued onto my feet. 

Super closeup.

Today is yet another errand day for me. Was contemplating on wearing a skirt but thought it would be best to wear something less feminine and more ideal for walking and walking some more. Here's what I put together:

I've had the trousers since last year but only wore them today. I'm petite so I'm always worried that non-skinny pants will simply swallow my already barely-there legs. hah! Anyway, thought might as well wear it once and see if it's "okay." Not really sure I love it but it was comfy.

The top was bought online from Jacqueline Jarethshop. She has a great collection of vintage items. Bought quite a few vintage dresses from her too. Will try and showcase it here when I can.You can visit her blog right here. Although it's hardly noticeable here, the top is actually sheer. It's very pretty and feels nice against the skin. 

This is the thrifted bag that I handpainted. Will show you how I made this on the next post. :) 

I know this picture is weird but yeah, I kinda like it, I think. Anyway, cheers!
