From Kedah to Kurung...

This makcik must really learn to post regularly! Exam week is super draggy and when I thought my son should be studying, why is it that I feel as if I am studying for his exams. Now need to let it go.. let it go.. oops sorry accidentally sing.. I need to tell myself it is not my exams. haahaha...

Now I am gonna write about the Baju Kurung.. this is retro style ok.. with chest patch pocket some more. hehe... I like people to think that BK is versatile enough to be worn everyday. Ya lah like all the last time makciks wear. But seriously with the right skirt, a person can run, climb and jump as well as perform all sorts of wonders in a BK (sounds like a clown eh.. heheh)! This tried and tested by yours truly (I have 3 stooges of course what I wear must be able to transform into active wear) ^^. Of course, not forgetting the appropriate shoes. If you choose to go for heels then forget it, it will only get stuck in the drain and you end up not chasing after the stooges (busy pulling out the shoes from the drain).. haha! Here I am pleased to don a beautiful BK by Petite Dress Boutique with their lovely choices of fabric (no joke!can choose fabrics!).. very comfy and most importantly, cool enough for everyday wear. Well, Ummi's happy when she's comfy (^^,)

Here I share the look and you can see the prints I chose.. Ok, always post headless pics but when you do when you are just so shy (like real!).. hahaha...

Inspired by my late grandma, Hajah Zainab aka Mak Jenab

Ok now makcik got to go and make crunchy crabstick (how to diet like this?!).. just know that "I"LL BE BACK!!" (how got impact or not? hehe)

KedMono from My Lemari

Wahh!!! It's seriously been quite sometimes. This ahjumma is super busy with 2 stooges down with fever, cough and flu (the vomiting part is like a "topping" that comes with the combo). Then after that is all about preparing my ala "praying mantis" boy for his very first CA1. Good luck to him though he's been chill about it while his ummi is having a terrible migraine. Exam fever strikes again??!! Aaarrrghhhh...

Ok my week has been eventful enough for this simple stay home ahjumma. Now all 3 stooges are healthy so this ahjumma gets to go out. Yippi ai yay!!!!



 See fav KedMono top again..


So grab my fav KedMono (previously called Kedah top but I changed it because of its sleeves) and this time pair it with my denim skirt and toe socks (don't mind the red fingers, they're henna not blood. haha.. cheeky lah this ahjumma). I absolutely love this KedMono!! The fabric has this ethnic look and the sleeves has this really gorgeous weaved motifs. Absolutely unique!

Well, you most probably go " Ah, she's an ahjumma so her taste very the makciks". Hmmm.. fashion has no makciks or aunties style ok. There's many way to style this KedMono.. it can be formal and casual. A versatile piece I must say  with a traditional touch. So be daring and take up the challenge to make a statement. Jia You!!!

Enough with the KedMono pose.. now time to entertain my lil ones with their good morning song and fruit salad yoga poses. Hahahah... I am so going to do the fruit salad yoga pose in my KedMono!! Annyeong!!!
