New Year’s Eve was actually my birthday as well. And for my birthday dress I wore a v-neck black dress with flutter sleeves, black tights, and 2-Toned strappy platform heels. The v-neck is actually made of lace with 3 tiny buttons. I took this quick shot with my NikonD40. My son was using the tripod with Hub’s Sony point and shoot digicam for his animated movie so I had to use the box of huge screen TV that’s sitting in the hallway. Hence my head not making it into the shot, haha. I didn’t have time to adjust the …read more

My husband pointed me to these Shira Sterling Silver Necklaces with matching Ear studs sets when we went to the PX this Saturday. He saw that they used to be $7 each set but are now on sale for $1.75 each. He was all excited to let me know, “Dex, come and look at these..” . So he either knows me too well or I’ve trained him well. Either way, it benefits me..*TeeHee* One is “flower” shaped with black dangling studs. The other one is criss-crossed black and silver with 2 studs at the end. Very very pretty.

I’m still enjoying the warm weather so why not take advantage of it by wearing one of my new L.E.I tunic, low-rise Levi’s Jeans, and black heels from PAYLESS. For accessories, I’m wearing my “pink” stuff. I’ll delved on these more on the coming days in collaboration with an upcoming contest here at Style It Less. Ooohhh,.
This whole ensemble probably cost less than $50. Levi’s Jeans was $21.99, I think. L.E.I tunic was $2.62 and the shoes I think is $9.99. Sorry can’t remember anymore..LOL. All I remember is that it’s from a BOGO. Forget one of the …read more

I found this Nine West Black Eyelet V-neck top from my last visit to PX. Retail price is $44 but the PX price was $30. for an even better price and to make me very happy, it had the 75% off yellow tag. So I only paid about $6 for this Nine West eyelet top. When I saw it, I initially thought of wearing it with my black pinstriped trousers. I wore the said ensemble yesterday to Church. Accessorized with dangling red beads earrings, double-strand white pearls, “D&G” sunnies.. LOL, and my favorite infamous red heels($19.99, PAYLESS) …read more

A few months ago I found a wide velvet belt with gold studs trim and woven metal ring buckle for $3.99 at the PX. Coincidentally, a friend of mine bought the exact same thing. But she had a dilemma. She didn’t know what to wear it with. I told her not to worry coz I’d help her out. I suggested this ensemble:
Wear it with a shirt dress. I’ll show you how sometime . It’s a good ensemble for Fall. Shirt dress with wide belt and knee-high boots. Trust Me

If you could please just ignore my …read more
