In Theory


Feels like an age ago when we took these but it was actually only a few days ago in Kuala Lumpur. Being on the road with a seriously minimal wardrobe (one carry-on’s worth) is proving to be a little more interesting than I anticipated. Not hard, but I’ve had to give everything in my suitcase more consideration than I normally would… first world problems, right? Especially since I’m in Asia where the shopping is amazing but I’ve been consciously avoiding impulse shopping (and shopping in general)… but more on that later.

These pants are mostly what I’ve been living in the past couple of weeks. I even managed to wear them to my grandmother’s birthday dinner after realising I didn’t actually pack anything appropriate, haha.. albeit styled with a dressier top I found in mom’s closet. I love this silhouette so much and Kowtow are amazing with cuts like this. I’ve tried looking for something similar as these were already sold out in my size when I wanted a pair - after a few weeks of intense online stalking I finally managed to get a hold of them. I love it styled with a close-fitting top like this to contrast the volume but it also looks good with a slouchy tee/loose structured top and works with flats, heels and Birks…

I also finally got my first ever pair of Ray Bans. I love a good classic metal frame so when I spotted these just when I was thinking of packing for my trip, somehow Vision Direct managed to get them to me at light speed… almost. I held my breath and they got to me the day before I left Sydney. A nice change up from my usual oversized eyewear - what do you think? They do prescription lenses and price match too. Find them here.

    I really like those sunglasses on you. I can’t quite pull off the full on Yoko Ono, but you might be able to! :)

    How are you resisting shopping? Your willpower is strong!

    You always wear neutrals so well! :)

    Glad you’re having fun on your trip. I’m in awes that you are able to travel with just a carry on though, you must be so strong resisting shopping! I can go to Melbourne for a long weekend and a carryon isn’t enough…haha. I have less willpower and a poor editing skill I guess ;)

      Thanks Mica! Hehe yeah, it’s a first for me and an interesting experiment. I did have an empty suitcase with me though - I did shop some but mostly non-clothing stuff from Japan for the home, ceramics etc. It’s a bit harder with clothing as Asian sizes tend to be a bit smaller, with the exception of international brands of course :)

    I could never pull off these pants, but they look amazing on you! And they seem really comfortable.
    I hope you had a great time in Kuala Lumpur.
