Military March

by cecylia on January 9, 2013

Zinco top / Armand Basi skirt / Vintage necklace / Vintage Christian Dior clutch / Sonia Rykiel shoes

Was hoping to demonstrate my new-found mantra in life, Keep On Walking, but somehow I look more to be stepping in an unco manner than anything else…Following on from my professed new year’s resolution, I introduce you to 2 very neglected pieces of my wardrobe: a navy top I found in Switzerland and an Armand Basi skirt I adopted from Singapore. Once upon a time, before pink became my colour-in-chief, khaki was the Favourite. Utilitarian, military, neutral, come to think of it, fashion still loves a good khaki. The mini is well-equipped with 4 pockets, large enough to fit my entire life into, but I had to include a vintage clutch for good measure. The perfect outfit to wear to a casual BBQ to take complete advantage of the adjustable waist tie. And afterwards to work off the bangers? Just Keep on Walking.

既然我在这里说起今年我会多穿我衣房里被忽视的衣服，请容许我介绍给你这两件衣服：从瑞士带回来深蓝色的上衣和从新加坡领会来的Armand Basi裙（西班牙牌）。很早以前，我最喜欢的颜色不是粉红色，是深绿色。它是时尚的好颜色，容易配，难弄脏。这条裙子的四个大口袋够装我所有需要的，但为了完整这套衣服我还带了这个抓手包。裙子的腰带能伸缩，我应该穿去参加一个烧烤午餐。

Wow, this is such a simple, well put together outfit, I just love the darker toned colors together like this! (I can’t believe I haven’t thought of wearing burgundy, navy and olive green together, it’s gorgeous.) Your necklace is just the perfect finishing item, it keep the nonchalant look going.

I know it’s all about the skirt, and it’s beautiful, but I really like the top! Such a nice outfit, I like the deeper tones with the navy and burgundy :)
