Crisp

As much as I love shirts, I prefer them on other people, not on me. It's rare that I find shirts that fit me well except for my high school uniform ones which have short sleeves and navy trimming (a more detailed post coming soon). Other than that, I feel as if they make my petite frame even smaller, my already-voluminous-with-all-that-hair head even bigger, therefore I look like an ice cream scone which is not something I'm going after despite my love for ice cream (fun fact: I once went to an ice cream buffet and ate 20 scoops hehe ^^). And I also find that it gives me too much physical matureness than needed. Or is it just my imagination? Hmmm.

But the crisp white shirt. 

Ahhh this famous classic staple, when nicely done in the material and cut that suits your body and taste, can really do wonders.  

I've always loved the look of a boxy, well-fitting white shirt especially when paired with denim or cigarette pants. It gives off a professional but still very relaxed and fresh vibe. But it's really hard to find a simple white button-down that ticks all the boxes nowadays, at least for me, particularly one that is not sheer and that doesn't have any ruffles and that is not from the men section because let's face it, even the smallest size looks like a dress on me, or worse: I look like a walking version of my 25 kilos rice sack. But I must admit, I love to wear men shirts to sleep or to lounge around the house, hoping I would look like this. There's something very sexy about them that I cannot resist. Anyway, back to the subject... I am now the proud owner of this timeless piece of clothing. Boxy but still very feminine, just how I want it, not to mention the student-friendly price, especially at 40% off :)) Monoprix has a lot of nice stuff if you try to look and dig around. In terms of quality, we will see but I hope this one is like the shirt I bought there last season during the sale because for 4 euros, it still looks impeccable after numerous washes and the organic cotton stays very soft and new.

My sister said I looked like Kim Ha Neul in A Gentleman's Dignity from the back in this outfit which is flattering because I absolutely adore her character's style: simple and elegant with interesting but very subtle details.

Euhhh, I think I should go to sleep now before I start my *fangirl* moment so my sister wouldn't yell at me again for staying up so late these days. Until next time, night night!
