I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

Sorry, midriff not available as it resembles bloated chicken breast.

Friend: You look like a ladder.

Me: I look like a ladder?

Friend: Yeah, you know, with the blue genie and monkey and the carpety thing.

Asos Two-tone Tights

Finally a more down-to-earth rendition of the Chanel two-tone tights ($220), these are only £10 in ASOS! I do remember there was an Urban Outfitters alternative with sheer front panels but I’m liking these better.

    oh dear…poor aladdin…poor you. haha.

    And it’s good to have you back blogging! I love those trousers, they fit you so perfectly which I think is super important when wearing a harem-style.

    Thank you so much for leaving such sweet birthday wishes; your comment was too sweet! *blushes*

    I love the color of your scarf; it’s my favorite shade of green! And as always, the outfit is unbelievably impeccable.

    bloated chicken breasts? no waysss

    your backgrounds are always so cool looking.
    and those asos tights definitely look better than the urbanoutfitter ones.

    these tights are like a less crazy version of AA two-tone tights, the ones where one leg is one color and another leg is another color. too costumey for my liking. anyway… ramble ramble

    a ladder… heh heh nice one

    Super cute! Is that sheer shirt under the cropped top part of it or just another undergarment? Anyway, I like it much better than a bared midriff.

    oh i am SOOO going to asos and ordering those tights after i post this!!!

    ive been wanting those forever – and urban outfitters came out with some weird and cheaply made version that wasnt as cute – but the asos tights are PERFECT!

    thanks for sharing the wealth shini!

    btw. i want those pants. omg.

    You look so chic in those pants and I love the way you wear your cropped top! Aladdin is one of my favorit Disny movies and “A whole new world” is my favorite love song. Wouldn’t it be cool if people just break into songs and dance like in “Enchanted”?

    By the way, you don’t look like a ladder. You look like a cool chick! xxxoxoxoo

    you have such good finds from korea.

    i haven’t bought much while living here yet… i thought i’d go crazy but it’s been pretty easy to not spend so much money! but maybe i haven’t gone to enough places…

    where was your favorite place to shop while you were living in korea shini??

    Wonderful, a cheaper alternative of the two tone tights. Bursting out in a Disney song in the middle of the street is very enjoyable!

    I bought these tights the other day! I love them, though I have a hole in the toe already. Just need to be a bit more careful I guess, might get a back-up pair when my loan comes in. I too love the look of crop tops, but am very scared about baring the stomach area.
