I'm not gonna lie, these are the most comfortable trousers I have ever had the pleasure of owning. And out of all my bottoms, one of the coolest. They're like pajamas, only it's not immoral to wear them outdoors. I still can't believe I bought this at an amazingly cheap price in a consignment store. 

Like almost all my other posts, this will start with 'Leon was off'. We hit the gym and then decided we wanted to spend the rest of the day outside our home, maybe eating and going for long walks. No plans were made. Nothing was set in stone. I had even told him that maybe we didn't need to take photos because the day ended young. But we did, and now you have this 'lazy girl' outfit to see today. Just flat shoes, a leather jacket (my standby) and a teeny, tiny crop top. I was going for comfort. We wanted a day as effortless as possible. Once I saw this little part of Macau where these photos were taken, I couldn't resist. It's probably the most scenic, vintage looking area in the place I call home. Colorful Portuguese-era buildings dotted along the Sai Van lake. Almost no cars on the roads. A perfect photographic moment everywhere we looked. We ate at the little restaurant 'Henri's Galley' which had outdoor seating. It was all blissful.

I feel like life stopped for a moment. Nothing mattered. Just Leon, me, the view, Macau. Perfection.

So, do you like my funny pants? Discuss! - Che

Yes, apparently I hashtag post titles now.

I've been having a very interesting couple of days. First an impromptu HK shopping trip I did by myself. Yes, darlings, all by my lonesome. No one was available to come with me, but actually, it was very refreshing. I got to do what I did best at my own, in my own slow pace. Weirdly enough, I came back to Macau with a surprisingly short haul - just these perfect booties at Monki, and IT by Alexa Chung. I devoured the book in the hour I was sitting in the ferry home. It was a mishmash of stories ranging from her love of dinosaurs to fashion. It was so very oddly compelling - I felt like we were just two BFFs, tucked in with cigarettes and wine, playing a game of 20 questions. Super fun and weird.

I've started being very spontaneous about my outfit choices. All white is always a great mix, add in Leon's olive bomber jacket, and killer booties - with that thin white stripe that makes all the difference in the world. The sweater I was wearing inside the jacket was for warmth, then decided to make it part of my outfit to break up the whites. Oh and my perfectly circular bun, the easiest way I do to hide my bad hair day after a night of too much drink.

Leon and I decided to spend the day doing blissfully domestic things - groceries, dinner, and then tuck in at home to an amazing movie - Locke. Who has watched this movie? I couldn't look away.

So, does my circle bun suit me? What do your everyday outfits look like? See you soon, - Che

You could never go wrong with a peplum top. Thin, thick, short, tall - a peplum just works. It gives you a great waist silhouette. I couldn't help it with this handkerchief hem peplum top when I found it. The fact that it's sleeveless but a rich navy color makes it perfect for both cold and warm weathers so it means you will see this top a lot. When I got it and it fit like a dream, suddenly it just popped up in my mind that I would pair it with one of my fave skirts - the palm print skirt, another piece I've worn a lot of times.

I wore it to a little lunch date with my hubby and then furniture shopping with my mom, dad, and sister. Who knew furniture shopping was so satisfying? I guess it's because it's going to my own home, or maybe I just really enjoy shopping in all its forms - including shopping for a new vacuum and kettle ;) We ended the night with coffee at Starbucks. My baby sis wanted to go to Subway for a change, but my dad is exactly like me - we think that many things are too expensive except for when it's a cup of coffee. Coffee won - I agreed with him too, hehe.

Anyways, do you love peplum tops as much as I do? Discuss! - Che

In a perfect world, we will wake up each morning and find that new, designer, one-of-a-kind pieces have been left outside our door. But since it is not perfect, I know I am not alone when I say that because of some factors (no closet space, no income, etc.), I would have to utilize my closet for more wearability - which means repeating pieces in my closet more than once. I know there are some people that assume that as a blogger, we should never re-wear a piece of clothing. That is simply not true - it's just not economical, and it takes out the fun of wearing clothes. I love discovering new ways of wearing old pieces.

So today, I will give you some advice on how to maximize wearability of your closet. This includes what to focus on purchasing, what to keep, and some ideas to avoid repetitiveness. Enjoy, loves! And if I miss anything, please tell me in the comments below.

1. Focus on your BASICS.

I don't know how much I could stress this point. Case in point above - the button down shirt I've worn countless times above, and will wear many times more. Basics are like the blank canvases in your closet, they exist to make your statement pieces pop. Yes, these are the most tedious pieces to buy - I mean, who goes shopping for a white tee, right? But they are your closet lifesavers. They are almost invisible and infinitely stylish, which means you will be able to wear, and re-wear them for seasons to come. I once had a closet of mostly statement pieces - and let me tell you, it was almost impossible to mix and match. Then I studied one of my fave bloggers and realized the reason she could wear glitter, zany prints and bright colors is because she had the perfect basics to match.

Some basics include a white tee, a button down, dark jeans, ankle boots, and the ever-stylish leather jacket.

So let me put it this way - if you wear all statement pieces, you may end up looking like a runaway clown. But wear all basics? And you're still chic. Like, Audrey Hepburn chic.

2. Do the 'THREE-OUTFIT+' rule when purchasing anything.

Okay so you have your basics pat down. Now you want to go out and get some new pieces for your ever-growing wardrobe. How does one choose statement pieces that can be worn more than once? The key is to buy smart. Before I purchase anything, I play a little game in my head - how many outfits can I come up with right now without looking like a crazy person standing here? Be honest. Do not pair it with pieces you don't have in your closet yet. If you only come up with one or two, I would suggest putting it down (unless you want it, of course!). It usually means that the piece doesn't work with your closet. And if you have to rework your entire wardrobe just to accommodate it, then it's not worth it. If you get three, or even better more than three, then you might just have a win on your hands. The polkadot crop top above, for instance, is not a basic. But I have worn it throughout the four seasons. That's because it complemented my closet well. When I bought it I thought of five outfits in 10 minutes.

Other things I've bought using the rule - the coral trousers (3) and the palm print skirt (4).

3. Take the time to MIX AND MATCH.

Go through your closet. See what prints you can put together, what shoes you can wear with what outfit, how you can come up with a new look based on your existing clothes. You will realize just how much of your closet you could actually use. Fall and winter is the best time to experiment. Try a crop top over a button-down shirt, skirt over pants, leopard with plaid, pencil skirts with sneakers. The possibilities are endless here. For example, when I bought the matching set above, I was only interested in wearing the pieces together, but actually, they can be worn so many different ways apart. 

If you have any other suggestion, let me know in the comments! See you soon - Che
