A week ago, I received an invitation to Peggy Hartanto & Sheila Agatha's Fashion Show at Bazaar Fashion Festival 2014. I was delighted. And panicked as well. Why? Well i didn't have a solid outfit plan for the event. Here's two of my very important rule in life. Never go to a fashion event without planning your outfit a week in advanced and Always have outfit B and C. However, i broke that rule. I really couldn't make out a "good enough" outfit for the event. Yes, i can play it safe and wear a mediocre semi-formal outfit like how i always did but i had to stop because 1. I have to stop playing it safe 2. I knew there was going to be a lot of influential people in the fashion world attending the event and who knows maybe my outfit might catch their eyes and voila, i'm their new best friend #dreamingalittletoobig
So, i went around shopping malls but nothing screams out to me. NOTHING. They all had flaws i couldn't see pass through. Now, here's one thing you should know about me. I can shop very slowwwlyy and look at every piece in the store or i can literally just scan through the store and not touch a single piece until i see something that screams out to me. What do i mean by "screams out to me"? It's simply clothes that i stare at a little too long and it will be stuck in my mind until i buy it.
So there i was standing in the middle of a shop looking like a little kid who has lost her mommy.
Then, I realized maybe buying isn't the solution. After all, i can't keep buying clothes every time theres an event but my wardrobe isn't the answer either. That's when the word"DIY" got to me.
