I was just doing my usual daily must-read at Style Scrapbook (congrats Andy for winning Mango Loves Fashion Bloggers!) when I noticed her ‘Look Of The Day’ post yesterday featuring a lovely pair of YSL Electric Blue Pumps and a Varsity Jacket.

I loved the look on her – simple & chic and wondered why I haven’t been diligent enough to put on proper pants & pretty shoes instead of hobbling around in my denim shorts and more shorts just because I’ve been on a break and everyone else on the streets seem to be wearing their threads in similar fashion anyway…

The only reason I could conclude was the horrible humidity in Singapore – seriously the only places where you can throw on a blazer and nice jeans without perspiring like a pig are the malls, not considering that journeys to the mall often risk walking in the sun or in non-air conditioned environments.

So today when I’m getting ready to meet mom for some afternoon tea & window shopping in town, I’m going to make an effort to put on something more stylish instead of comfy shorts & tees (no matter how nice, pretty, comfy or branded they may be). And perhaps consider getting lighter wearable material so I wouldn’t be perspiring while making my way to my destination.
