SWEET PARADISE

HAPPY “CAP GOME" PIPOOOLLL!! Finally after a long day, Chinese New Year finally passed and I can finally do some shopping again. Well it is just some kind of tradition where you have to wait fifteen days and you cannot buy things like shoes and skirts because it still count as Chinese New Year. Actually you don’t have to “actually” follow this tradition, but I can use this as my excuses to stay thrifty. Let’s go back to 8th of February to see what me and my family wear on Chinese New Year :D

Before that let’s talk about the night before Chinese New Year, I don’t know whether it is a tradition or no, but my family always have a Chinese New Year dinner on the night before the actual event. I only wear this new stripes t-shirt and white high waist shorts that both I bought from Stradivarius.

 Quality time with a family is the most important thing to do.

This year I want to keep it simple, I bought a white simple dress from Mango as my primary dress. Since we have to have some red in Chinese New Year to bring good luck for ourselves, I pair my simple white dress with a red high heels that I bought from Bershka. This year I didn’t manage to bought any bag, so I wear my not so new clutch from Tory Burch. This simple outfits I made it more glamour with a necklace that I bought from China. 

For my sister outfits, she wear this so beautiful chongsam dress in blue and white that she bought in Mangga Dua. Who knew those place would sell such a beautiful dress? She pair it with a blue bag from an Indonesian brand called Richelle, we bought it on a bazaar at Mall Kelapa Gading. Well at least she wear red lipstick so she still have those touches of red. My little sister, wore a red playsuit from Zara that we bought 1 day before “d-day” so lucky. She pair it with a Play No More bag that me, my sister, my cousins, and my boyfriend bought for her for her 15th birthday presents. For my mom and my dad, I have no idea what kind of brand or where they buy their outfits, because I wasn’t there when they bought their outfits.

 My family and Febby's family (5 VS 5) lol

SELFIES ATTACT!!

For day one make-up, I put a sense of pink to make my face more cheerful, sweet, and mature.

For the nails, it’s a little bit off because I tried to tell the person who made my nails to make it look alike like the picture that I gave her. But it turned out this way, but it still okay.

Look at my “Bule” cousins holding those red envelope and red dresses. I’m so happy looking at these picture because that means that they still have those inner Chinese tradition to hold. 

I spill my food on my white dress when I was eating, so I need to have a quick change of outfits. I don’t have the picture because it was already late, so I only take a selfie with only the top can be seen. The top is a Korean brand that I bought from Lotte Shopping Avenue. But it’s actually a simple outfit because I only pair it with a black high waist short.

Day two is not so crowded like the other day. I wore this long shirt dress that I bought from Mangga Dua, again Mangga Dua is my FAVORITE place to go shopping, either it is to bought DVD, or outfits. I pair it with my sister blue blag, because it match my blue brooch that came as one set with the shirt dress.

For day two make-up, I put a sense of brown/orange/or matte to make my face more elegant and more mature.

Chinese New Year day 2 fall on 9th of February which means it is Febby’s Birthday HOORAY. Happy belated birthday my twin sister.

Finally it comes to an end when Chinese New Year finally over. I don’t have anymore new outfits because I already wear it all. But for this outfits I remember only wear it once, so I pick those outfits and combine it all together. For the tops, my mom bought it for me when she went to US so I don’t really know the brand and for the button skirt, I bought it on Stradivarius. I spend my cap gome day visiting the temple and pray. That’s all.

Thank you for your time reading this long writings, love you <3
