Shanghai Night

I attended a magazine event last night, towing my dearest most favourite pest with me to kill the boredom.

True enough it was a tad bit boring, with insufficient food and the same ol social scene.

What was fun was the free flow of wines and dressing up of course.

The theme was anything vintage or modern cheongsam, so I went in this (mind the bad lighting. Took it in the hotel's bathroom, hence the yellow cleaning sign board):

Butterfly & floral motive cheongsam top
Long puple spaghetti strap top underneath
Black tube worn as mini skirt
Black opaque tights
Chunky black mary janes
Vintage oversized clutch bag (which i stole from mom for this event)

I did my makeup in my office's bathroom before I went.
Used my red lippie, since it was a Shanghai theme, trying to emulate Tang Wei's look in 'Lust, Caution'

Tied my hair up in a bun on top my head

i like the idea of the boob tube as a skirt! I've done the reverse, skirt as a top though not as original as yours!

it's always nice dressing up, wish it wasn't soo freezing cold here so I'd be more inclined to go out!

haha..thanks to a limited budget, I have to make do with what i have in my closet. The boos tube was once worn as a hip belt whihc was quite in, in Oz and AUck. You remember that?

Funny how i wish it's reverse here. Wish the weather is a little more chilly so I can wear coats, trenches, leggings and boots all day!
