GO WITH THE TEE

So that T-shirt has been in your closet ever since you were in secondary school and you only wear it out for supper with friends (pairing it with high-cut FBTs) or a quick food run at a nearby coffee shop. There's actually more wearing life to your tee than that! I'm not talking about using them as rags to clean your windows but wearing them out for a lunch date, dinner with friends and even to work (on casual Fridays that is).

With a little love from our very own quirky homegrown T-shirt line, Roof Industries, let me show you how.

Anything high waisted is great to match with your T-shirts. Here, I paired it with a denim skirt my sister DIY-ed, chopping off the bottom to create a flattering shape to show off your legs - another great idea to breathe life into your unwanted denim skirts. If the denim jacket is a bit too hot (even if you have them hanging on your shoulders), opt to drop the jacket and roll up your sleeves instead (just like what you did to your PE shirts back in school. You have to agree with me, it used to be a hot hot trend and can still be hot now). Add a statement necklace to top it off. Feelin' inspired?

Here's the rundown: T-shirt (S size), Roof Industries; Denim Jacket, Et Boite from Rock & Blues; Denim Skirt, X-TM; Bracelets, first two (from right) from Cambodia and the other, Cruciani; Ring, Flea Market in London; Mary Janes, Miu Miu. 

Here comes your favourite part. Three T-shirts from Roof Industries are up for grabs! If you like my 'I <3 Singapore' tee (they are unisex too), you'll definitely love the other designs - all with a unique Singaporean touch. Check them out here.

Konnichiwa!

I first met celebrity street style photographer, Rei Shito at Audi Fashion Festival last year. She was seated in front of me and we were waiting for a show to start. I jumped into the opportunity and got her for a quick interview for Singapore's first fashion show live streaming site, FashForward.com. It's crazy how fast a year has passed and we met again at the festival this year.

I love how effortless chic her over-sized denim jacket matches with her floral shorts. It's a great mix from of masculine and feminine pieces. My favourite? Her uber cute and wide smile! I'm sure you agree with me that the Japanese are one of the most friendly and hospitable people. I can totally feel her excitement and energy just looking at this photo. 

Rei-san, can't wait to see you next year!
