duster lust

I recently purchased this duster coat from h&m; it looked beautiful the moment I slipped it on, I knew I had to have it. moreover, gabi has been talking about how she wanted a perfect duster for the past 4 months, which definitely influenced the decision to slap down $79.90 for this piece.

this look just screams "gabi" all over; you should be all too familiar with the striped top and the sneakers.

this is essentially another one of my outfit experiments, but definitely my most favourite yet. i initially wanted to go for a scandinavian vibe, but the look turned out feeling like a modern-day princess get-up. (fun-fact: i am obsessed with chinese and korean period dramas; this look is likely an outward expression of my inner desire to be one of these ancient princesses)

this is my interpretation of normcore 'fits, pretty much trying as hard as possible to look like i'm not trying at all. with a baggy t-shirt (that is luxuriously soft and so worth my $4.90) and trackpants, i look like i just rolled out of bed but ready to show the world that comfort can be stylish too.

I went with a slick-back to flesh out the sense of fierceness in this all-black ensemble. the silhouette, however, is fluid with sheer chiffon complementing the billowing of the duster. the crochet top lends a bohemian vibe that, together with the drapery, softens the aggressive stiletto heels, bold red lips and cold metallic sunnies. this outfit is a thorny rose; drawing you in but promising pain.
