pockets, pockets, pockets...

there has always been this underlying rule, that states...pear shapes/big bottoms/wide hips/triangle shapes/whatever you call "us"...should not wear anything that has eye-catching details on the bottom half.

i am also a person, who usually follow these "fashion rules" to the dot.

but, these are the moments that i say, "heck it! life's too short! i am going to have some fashion fun!".

and from then on, came my obsession with pockets.

pockets on long cardigans/shirts, pockets on dresses/tunics, pockets on my trousers (i used tocut them out and sew the opening...myself), pockets on vest, pockets...pockets...pockets.

what i love about it:

1. i feel so...casual chic...walking around with one hand in my pocket or a thumb casually hooked.
2. i can put mini stuff into it (as long as it doesn't bulge) for easy access. e.g. lip balm/gloss
3. when my hands get cold, i can stuff BOTH hands into them

and turns out, eva mendes also shares this obsession. she loves pockets so much, she has them on all her dresses!

so, embrace your shape...play around with with different looks...EVEN IF the rules say no. :)

you never know, till you have tried it!
