Pastel Rainbow



She's like a rainbow
Coming colors in the air.
 
-- Rolling Stones "She's A Rainbow" 


    One morning when I was joining the ward round, a senior of mine noted in passing that I frequently wore pastels and the colours cheered her up. Well, I can't always be wearing floaty dresses to work, and dire monochromatic attire wearies me further in the stressful hospital environment. Lately, I've taken to wearing pastel pants to work and my collection just keeps on growing! ;)

    某天早上在參加巡房的時候,一位學姊說常常看到我穿粉彩色系的衣物,讓她看了心情很好 XD  當然上班不可能每天穿偽仙的洋裝,可是在醫院的大壓力環境下穿著黑白色系又讓我覺得很鬱悶 ... 於是最近開始穿冰淇淋色系的褲子上班,然後衣櫃裡的色褲就默默越來越多了 ;)





    This time I'm writing on five of my favourite colours. Some are bought online, some purchased in small boutiques. To be honest, most of them are too long for a hobbit like me but I don't have time to send them to the tailor's yet. In most photos, I just folded the pant legs inward to shorten them by a few inches  LOL.

    這次寫的是最喜歡的五個冰淇淋色喔!有些是網路買的,另一些則是在夜市或小店入手的。老實說,這些褲子對我這個哈比來說真的都太長,而我又還沒時間送去給裁縫改短(好啦~其實是我一直在拖 >.<) 所以,照片裡大部分我都是把褲管往裡摺,瞬間就短了幾吋 XD

    Frankly, these yellow pants are not really visually slimming, but I really love the bright colour. It does not fade easily, and is quite comfortable even in warmer weather.

    老實說,這條粉黃褲子並不顯瘦(還有視覺膨脹的嫌疑  囧>),不過我還是很喜歡它鮮亮的色彩。即使洗過幾次也沒有退色,然後現在稍熱的天氣穿也還 OK 不會太悶。

    I got these lilac pants in size S, and well, for the heavy-bottomed lass that I am, they're just a tad tight :(  It looks slimmer though, and the colour is really sweet.

    這件我太自信的拿了 S 號,結果對我這個大臀又粗腿的人來說還真是稍緊了點  T__T  不過視覺上我想會比啷啷的 M 號看起來腳細一點吧!然後顏色是很甜美的紫羅蘭色 :)

    These salmon pink pants are not really of a skinny cut, i.e. they don't really squash your groin and thigh areas LOL  Really comfortable piece, but sort of wrinkles easily.

    這件鮭魚粉長褲其實不算是 skinny 版型的小腳褲,它沒有像 skinny 一樣天殺的老是壓迫大腿和該邊 XD  這件算是蠻舒服好看的,只是很容易皺扣點分。

    Similarly, I got these in size S and they're a bit tight, but isn't that the point of skinny pants? Strangle your body parts to the point of looking skinny? Love the pale green shade too!

    同樣的,這件我也很沒自知之明的拿了 S 號(哭) 的確是有點緊啦,不過這不是 skinny 褲的重點嗎?死死壓住肥肉來達到顯瘦的目的? XD  然後對這件的淺綠色很有愛  >///<


Top :  Pazzo ;  Bag :  Vincci

Knit top :  Pazzo ;  Heels :  Summit

Blazer :  Rastars& ;  Glitter pumps :  H&M

Pants :  thrifted

    Well, these are my favourite pair, mainly because they are quite breathable in spite of their skinny cut. The colour is sort of light blue-green, it's almost as versatile as denim hues.

    這件是我的最愛啦~主要是因為穿起來算透氣,雖然是顯瘦又稍緊的 skinny cut。顏色是淺藍綠,我覺得幾乎跟丹寧色一樣百搭了 :)

Well, that's that then!

As per tradition, some photos of various knick-knacks used!


穿搭部分就醬啦!
照例來一些雜七雜八的配件照片!




Haha, I used a whopping nine pair of shoes this time, but mainly nudes and blue-greens.

哈哈~這次竟然用了九雙鞋寫穿搭,不過主要是裸色系跟藍綠色系啦!



Same palette with the bags, blue-greens and nudes and some browns.

包包也用了同樣的色系~藍綠、裸色系跟一些棕色。



    I was trying to wrap up the photoshoot in one afternoon and the sun was fast setting, so I didn't really have time to rummage through my box for jewellery. I used these simple earrings from Cor-date in some of the outfits, though.

    因為趕在一個下午拍完全部照片,然後陽光又快消失,所以我根本沒時間好好翻珠寶箱來挑穿搭的飾品 >.<  不過在兩個穿搭中有用了 Cor-date 簡單款的耳環。



    As usual, I'm ending the Style Guide post with a colour-coordinated medley of my Instagram posts. You can join me @ bonjourjasmineblog if you like!


    用同色調的 Instagram 照片來結束穿搭教學文好像已經變成傳統啦! XD  大家可以來我的 IG (bonjourjasmineblog) 找我聊天噢!:)

Swallowtails



Your beauty comes like sunshine after rain, so warm
An unexpected spark to wash away the dark.

-- Elvenking "Swallowtail"


NOTES

    Yes, yes ... I'm so not over the Elvish / Arabian makeup thing, and I decided to discard the headscarf and tone down the contouring a bit. I got this swallow headband (or chain?) from Romwe a while ago, I think it is not overly gaudy that a costume ball would be the only place to flaunt it. I mean, it is simple enough for music festival getups and boho stylings à la Free People, yet still maintains an ethereal quality that would suit my occasional whim for dreamy fanciful dresses. And speaking of fanciful dresses, this green chiffon dress by Dazzlin' with its lovely bell sleeves is a favourite of mine in terms of dreaminess. I think I really got a bargain as it was purchased during sale season in Japan three years ago, it is still as good as new despite a few outings during this time and just as beautiful as when I first laid eyes on it.

    好吧好吧~其實我還沒對可惡的精靈/阿拉伯主婦妝死心啦(詳情請見上篇),這次忍痛捨棄了頭巾跟減少修容來重出江湖 XDD  這個燕子頭飾是之前在 Romwe 入手的,我想這個款式不會過於華麗到只剩下化妝舞會可以戴上它。畢竟這款設計相對簡約,大概可以在音樂季穿搭或是 Free People 式的波西米亞穿搭中用得上,但是又保留了一點奇幻的氛圍,讓我這個浪漫風穿搭愛好者可以解一解饞 :P  說到浪漫風,這件 Dazzlin' 的綠色雪紡洋裝大概是我衣櫃中數一數二夢幻的啦~重點就在那歌仔戲般的飛袖啦!XD  不過我覺得真的很划算,三年前趁日貨折扣季的時候入手的,經過幾次穿出門加上洗滌依舊完好如新,也一如第一次見到的時候一樣美麗如昔 >///<

Beetles in the Garden



After a summer shower when I saw you standin'
In the garden in the garden wet with rain.

-- Van Morrison "In the Garden"


NOTES

    It is springtime, the perfect time to break out the flowers and the bugs! A while ago, I retrieved from the post office a boxful of Cor-date jewellery, and I spent a night oohing and aahing over the ravishing sparklers with my friend. One of our favourite pieces is this lovely scarab beetle necklace, which is available in an assortment of stone or pearl settings. The work is exquisite, and it is surprisingly versatile despite the fanciful design. Here I pair it with florals, but really it goes well with many things, even denim. You can find more looks with it on my Instagram (@bonjourjasmineblog) !

    春天來了~是時候讓花朵與昆蟲們出來透透氣啦!前陣子我從郵局那裡領回一大盒 Cor-date 的飾品,結果我跟一起買的朋友一整個晚上對著那閃亮亮的美物們在發花癡 XDD  我們的最愛之一就是這條《童話故事,尋覓》短鍊,上面的金龜子可以選擇各色天然石或珍珠。 這條項鍊的作工很細緻,而且雖然花俏華麗卻意外的好搭 >///<  這裡我是搭印花上衣,但實際上它跟很多風格都撘得來,甚至是丹寧也沒問題喔!(偷說其實我已經在 Instagram 放了不少這條項鍊的照片 XDD):)
