Hats Off

By on
(necklace: Bubbles, bangles: SM Kids Accessories)
My photos scream girly because of this girl. Meet April! :D
And her friend, Myla, who added more yellowness to my already bright and yellow day!
(hat: SM Accessories)

My head was aching to wear this hat with salmon pink trousers and wedges last weekend but then I found out at the last minute that my top had a low, low neckline. I had no choice but to wear a bandeau underneath. The only kind in my closet was in yellow green. :| I knew then and there that it would ruin the daintiness of the entire outfit hence, I decided to just give yellow green some moral support with colorful accessories. Since I couldn't give the hat up, I used a bag with the same hue and switched to black flats to minimize the chaos.

TIP: When confused with mixing and matching colors, just make sure that at least two pieces in your outfit have the same hue. Mostly, similar-colored shoes&bag or shoes&top make safe combinations - the rest of the pieces you can just play along with. :)

How do you guys plan to spend the long weekend?
In contrast to my bright outfit, my week was a rather gloomy one. With all the stress and tears that it caused me, there's no better remedy than some salon-pampering and quality family time. :)
I'm also posting a blog giveaway next, yayyy! Watch out for it, yah?

Happy long weekend, everyone!


Much love,
Mela
