"I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine 

I got a love and I know that it's all mine, oh, oh oh oh 

Do what you want but you're never gonna break me 

Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me, oh, oh oh oh"

  So sorry that this is my first outfit post in 2 months :/ I've been incredibly busy lately but now that all exams and whatnot are over, I can churn out more outfit posts! Yayyyyy!

 I've been watching Easy A (for the third time, which features the talented and beautiful Emma Stone)...you know the scene where the singing card plays this song over & over again? Well it's been stuck on replay in my head for a while and besides, I thought this outfit fitted perfectly.

  I absolutely love these shorts from Persunmall, possibly my favourite purchase from them to date! I featured them in my May Haul and mentioned that they're dupes of the American Apparel ones, but a fraction of the price, US$21.99 to be exact! Not only are they super flattering (high-waisted bottoms for the win - seriously, I vow to only get high-waisted bottoms now.) but they have floral prints on them! How can you say no?! Here, I paired it with a white blouse for a simple, basic and casual yet somewhat smart look. Especially during festival season, you can wear this paired with a fedora/wide brimmed hat if you don't mind the white shirt so much... And of course, a backpack that looks cute and is big enough to fit all your festival-y essentials, enabling you to jump and dance around.

  I actually wore this to the movies where we watched 'Edge of Tomorrow' that featured Tom Cruise. I disliked the ending because I thought it was very cliched and predictable and some scenes were very meh...but the concept, idea and plot as a whole was unique.

 Also, #WorldCup2014 has started! Although the matches take place during ungodly hours here (11pm-5am), I still do watch a few matches despite being sleep deprived...I even have a nice bet going on with the boyfriend ;) I just have to step up my guesstimating game D:  I must say that I don't have a preferred team...although right now, I have a feeling that Netherlands have a good chance of being in the finals. Phew, who knew I could ramble on for so long.

Which team are you rooting for?
