Fashionista Cherieladie #4

Another month has passed and a new Fashionista Cherieladie post is here! July have been a totally busy month for me and I’m up in my neck with work and clocking in as much sleep as I could. I was just so tired everyday, I hope august would be better. Even though my brain tells me I’m dreaming, I am still hoping that things would ease up a little and I could cope better.

So, August is here and I haven’t forgotten about the fashionista post despite all the hectic schedules and here goes!

Trying shoes in a shoe shop. Not my regular #ootd but i guess it fits!

“You look like a ballerina!”, says my colleague. I put together a somewhat casual outfit as office wear.
A lazy kinda of day where I wore a dress and just paired it with a loud necklace.

Big chunky necklace and burst of colors everywhere. I finally wore the necklace that was too outrageous for everything.

Everyone loved the outfit I put together last month when I attended a wedding, so here’s another simple, understated outfit that’s similar yet, totally different. Yeah. #samesamebutdifferent

Which brings me to a point that another colleague pointed out the other day to me. She said, “Everytime I see you, you are wearing something different!” It is not true! I do repeat my outfits often, but never in the same combination. If you look closely enough, some outfits are being repeated across the different fashionista posts that I have, but in a different pairing altogether. I guess that’s how I make my outfits work harder.

A black & white dress paired with a zebra necklace, which I thought was totally fun and apt!

Here’s another tip, I usually match my shoes with my outfit and it instantly boost up the outfit by a fair bit. And, if you are sharp enough, I have been using the same bag the entire month! That’s how busy I was, no time to even switch out the bag at all. But thankfully, the balenciaga somewhat goes with everything!

This is also the month of #selfies because really no luxury of time to find nice backdrops and take pictures of myself. I also snapped a whole lot more #ootds but didn’t manage to post them on my instagram, so I guess I’ll share them in the upcoming posts!

I hope August would be a blast for you. It’s my birthday month and I am hoping to be lucky to be able to enjoy it a bit and there is a public holiday to look forward to! And oh, tell me what you think of this post, will ya? Do you love the outfits or not? Do you have a fashion tip to share? I would love to know!

P.s. do check out the rest of the fashionista posts that I have got!

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
