Cup of Scarf: December 2018

I would like to share a little project of mine this year that sadly postponed.

Less than twenty-four we will officially enter 2019. I would like to share a little project of mine this year that sadly postponed. In November I try to do 100 days project of my outfit every day. The goal was actually to be more productive and keep up my Instagram game that I know I already lost. Also, I want to challenge myself to style my wardrobe for new possibilities of dressing up, without buying new clothes.

Aside from being busy and lazy — doing makeup, setting up and taking photos, and editing (of course!), I felt like people will be bored seeing my setup over and over again. But, I think I'll continue doing this next year.

Even though I just finishing the ninth day, by doing this challenge, I learn one thing. Turns out, I have a lot of clothes that I rarely used. Still, in the same my small closet, I have the pile of clothes that I rarely touch. Including this beautiful lightweight coat from IKYK x JD.id. I didn't know why I did grab this coat more often.

30 seconds after I put this on and decided to live the house...

I don't think clothing necessarily need to attach to a profile or to some particular occasion as long as it served its purpose. For me, as long as it is practical enough to wear and comfortable, I'm good to go. Sometimes I might be justifying a purchase for a certain social occasion, I always try to invest that I can wear clothes for everyday wear. I suggest you should, too.

What I like about this coat is very lightweight so I can wear in 36 degrees Celcius of heat without feeling hot inside. I also love the details of those sleeves, beautiful but not too exaggerated. IKYK has always the best sleeves details in Indonesia.

That day, I decided to pair this up with vintage mom jeans I got from thrift market and my favorite Chuck Taylor II Lunarlon edition to get comfortable. I really like the color palette of this looks and how it turns out. Oh beige...

All that, perhaps you want to check the other eight looks of my 100 days project of the outfit of the day, visit my Instagram page or search this hashtag #100daysofoocos on Instagram.

Counting down to 2019, just a few days away.

I realized I’ve been gone for so long, not updating a blog at all. I’ve been so busy with work and life in general. But mostly, work takes so much time.

So many things happen this year. A lot of wedding parties I had to attend to, a lot of meeting, a lot of projects. It’s really exciting when we look back to early 2018, how we grow and how we change. What do you learn about yourself this year? Personally, for me, I learned a lot about business in general, fashion and startup, managing work and people. Things that I need to learn more is managing time! Ugh, so hard!

I also tried to more conscious about sustainable fashion. Well, let’s be honest, if we creating something new over and over again, will it be sustainable? Isn’t create another waste? This is what always in my mind. Let's have another deeper conversation about this in the future. I just tried to not buying too many new clothes this year. I just grab everything from my mom’s old clothes. Like this blazer!

I know it’s unusual seeing me dressed like a boy. This year I tried to get out my comfort zone – in term of style — by trying out other styles. I styled this blazer with a pair of boyfriend jeans from Stradivarius that I bought in 2017. For the shoes, I choose my Converse - Lunarlon edition. They are so comfortable. Trust me!
