Day 5

Finally got my photos uploaded, so time for #ootd!

We walked until we found this wall in Haji Lane, which was probably the best and only background available. Though I still prefer blank walls! Anyway Haji was a bit too crowded to take a shot in the middle of the pathway and I get embarrassed taking photos in front of too many people 🙈

I actually really really like my ootd for yesterday because it's something I've never worn before (I mean new style not new clothes LOL).

Top: So Frocking Good
Skirt/Bag: Wufenpu (Taipei)

I thought the all black outfit was too dull and reminiscent of my teenage all-black phase so I paired it with my new apricot sling from TPE instead of a black bag as originally intended. Anyway I'm currently facing the problem of too many clothes and bags that are almost brand new, but I haven't worn them for more than a year and I don't know what to do with them..? Any suggestions on where I can donate them maybe?

Currently watching/listening to Taylor Swift's Out of the Woods MV and loving it 😍 I didn't really like this song much (loved the others much more - Style, Blank Space, etc.) when it was released but it's really growing on me.

Anyway, this wall mural in Haji is really gorgeous. I didn't realize what it was at first but after looking at it in the photos it's really 😍

One last one with my new reflective sunnies (thanks Rach again if you see this)! I was kind of apprehensive about trying midi skirts because I've generally always looked bad in them (sold off all my midis except one that I can't bear to sell), but this was less than $10 from Taipei, so I thought it was well worth the plunge. And for what it's worth, I'm loving it! Also maybe because the waist is stretchy so it fits quite well. Now I'm tempted to get more midis.

Ok and I'm off to unwrap my new Tarte blushers and photograph them with my TCL calendar hehehe. I love experimenting with photography even if I'm not too good at it. More on those tomorrow!

Spent ages crouched on the floor trying to take nice photos but here's a quick snap with my phone for now! It's completely unedited, and look at those blushers! 😍 The packaging is so, so pretty that I can't bear to use them because it will ruin the Tarte logo embossed in the blush 😳 How do people do swatches? My heart is breaking just thinking of using them.

Also my new #TCL Calendar (thank you Bree and Bert and TCL!) - now I have an excuse to be more organized because it's so pretty!

Every page is filled with one gorgeous illustration and very relatable, inspiring quotes. I'm a sucker for quotes. I can't wait to flip the pages of this calendar (even though that will mean that time is passing by way too fast as usual) to look at the pretty illustrations each month! 😍 There's so much talent in it, I honestly wish I could draw like that!

The #Tarte blushers came in a pretty box too (took them all out to take photos and I'm pretty amused that I managed to put them back in correct order from memory haha) that I can't bear to throw away. BUT new year, new me. I'm supposed to stop hoarding!

Maybe I'll stare at it for a couple days more... Maybe...
