Chinese New Year Outfit



Lace Dress - Forever 21
Headband - Forever 21
Shoes - Zouk Flea Market

Top - Forever 21
Belt - Chinatown
Skirt - ASOS
Headband - Forever 21
Shoes - Target

I am wearing this Forever 21 lace dress tomorrow for the first day of Chinese New Year! :) I took a picture of the outfit today because there will be so many people at my house tomorrow & I will feel weird taking a picture in front of all of them!

The dress reminded me so much of Prada Fall 2008 that I had to get it! The black lace & scallopped hem are so beautiful. My mother didn't like that I am wearing black for CNY. Ah well, there is also another tradition of wearing new clothes on CNY & this is my only piece of new clothing. So why not !;) Plus it's tight fitting so it'll remind me not to eat so many CNY goodies! & I think the high collar is very Chinese!

The tutu skirt outfit is what I am wearing today for the reunion dinner! I hope my relatives don't think I am out of my mind..

Fall 2009 Rick Owens

I love this collection SO much! The coats wit huge collars, fur trimmed vest, trenchcoat, military jacket & the leather jackets. My, I will wear every single piece if I have the $$$! Love the volume & structure of the clothes.

Did I mention how fierce the models' hair are?! This collection is just, perfect!

  2. LOVE you're CNY dress, at first glance I wondered if it was Prada too! It has such a beautiful style and cut, and the red heels go really well with it too.

    Hope you have a great time celebrating

  60. beautiful, gorgeous lace dress... I'm sure youre going to have an awesome time and look absolutely fantastic :D

    ReplyDelete
  61. I guess it depends on what fabric you want to stud. This was pretty easy cause it was a stretch and pretty thin so I could just push the studs through with my hands, they have two sharp points which you then push down to secure. but for a thicker/tougher fabric like denim leather or something you might need some kind of pliers or something I'm not sure just experiment. Yeah sorry I'm not very good in my explanation!

  62. i love the tutu and the black lace dress!! although it is quite odd that you wore black on chinese new year, BUT LOOK! you have RED shoes :D, so i guess thatll do just fine

    ReplyDelete
  63. AH! You definitely hit the lace trend with your dress. Prada did it well.. and so have you!! Haha, even though I'm Chinese, I had no idea when the New Year officially began XP. Sad, right? I think I'll wear something gold and/or red tomorrow, for prosperity and (hopefully) riches!

    have a lovely week :)
    peace&love, nicole.

  71. 1. Great Chinese New Year outfit. I'm especially a fan of the headband. That dress reminds me of Britney's black lace dress except classier.

    2. I adore the pink bow headband!

    3. Happy Chinese New Year! What do you all do in Singapore? My parents are from mainland China, but we never really celebrate the holiday that much, just at Chinese School.

    The Rick Owens collection reminds me of dystopia, somehow.. All that vast and deserted black... The models look like warriors in a dystopia-film.

    ReplyDelete
  134. I had a hard time getting the studs on at first too. Hammering didn't seem to work. Then I tried hot gluing - a disaster! Next came the superglue, which didn't work either. Finally, I realized by using a razor, knife, or some sharp pointy object you could easily slice an opening for the studs to go through. Then the prongs aren't that hard to bend flat with your hands.

    Cute lace dress!
