Playing Mum

It feels like it’s been forever since the last time I updated you on what’s been going on in my life. Well, it’s mainly because things have been rather hectic lately. There’s the midterm, which is going on this week and the next—and I avoided for the whole day yesterday. There’s the internship hunting, which is a requirement for my next semester—and I can’t wait! That’s pretty much it, but they entail a great deal of details that needs to be taken care of. For starters, in order to apply for internships, I need to re-organise my portfolio and edit my CV.

However, I do get a bit of down time this weekend—hence being able to run away from my responsibilities yesterday. Something else that happened quite recently is that I’m pretty much home alone—with my housemaid—as the rest of my family is now out of town for my Stepbro’s wedding. A bit bummed that I don’t get to join them, but my elation at being free at home overshadows it. My plans this weekend, by the way, include waste sorting, going to the waste bank, grocery shopping, have my shoes repaired and, obviously, finish my midterm assignment—it’s due on Monday! 

Old dress (worn as top) // hand-me-down blazer + pants + purse // MKS shoes // Sadhu earrings (giveaway!)

A few things about today’s outfit, if I may. First of all, this blazer was stolen from my Stepmom’s wardrobe—although I think it must’ve belonged to my late mother. It looks so gorgeous that I just had to have it. Also, wearing it makes me feel so much like my Mum—she used to wear blazers like this all the time. It’s so lucky that this one is plaid too, which was so in earlier this year!

Second of all, can we please talk about these gorgeous statement earrings? They are a pair I won from Sadhu’s giveaway last Halloween. I’ve been so in love with their products for a while, so it felt literally like a dream come true to have won them. I’ve never worn dangly earrings before, so it felt very ticklish when I first try them on—and I couldn’t stop moving my head around to jiggle them. They are made mainly in Bali—with the base made in Japan—by repurposing clam shells from clam farms and rattan. They didn’t sponsor me, but they might as well have, because I absolutely love them! They’re also ethical, so make sure you check them out.

Fun fact: there’s a guy sleeping under the tree behind me and I deliberately tried hiding him, but he can be spotted in one of these photos. Can you see him?
