"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" 

- Pocketful of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield

  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?

OUTFIT // X's and O's

ALSO ON CHICTOPIA

sweater: sister's (similar + similar)// skirt: sister's (similar + similar)// wedge boots: boutique at Berjaya Time Square (similar + similar) // satchel: boohoo (sold out, but similar) // earrings: padini // rings: diva, ebay (infinity + leaf) // necklace: ebay

So this outfit is basically stolen from my sister's closet. Mind you, she's five years younger than I am, but being the petite person that is me...I can basically wear her clothes :P

Anyway, if you're planning on a quiet (or maybe not) indoor date this Valentine's Day - think bowling and movies, then this is for you! A slouchy lightweight sweater loosely tucked into a burgundy skirt (can't you tell I'm loving that colour?) There's nothing better than feeling comfortable all day. See those little heart cut outs on the skirt? If that doesn't scream Valentine's Day, I don't know what does - love it.

Also, my sister is currently sick at home with dengue fever so please do pray for her speedy recovery!
