fifteen-feb

I miss wearing hats so I decided to wear it for the photos. I want to go out with this, but Jakarta isn't a hat-ty city. Nobody wears hats unless it's those trucker caps the pizza hut delivery guy puts on. This is why I don't like living here. Anyhow, I'm happy enough that I can wear it in the comfort of my own house, but I felt like something was missing when I took it out before I went out of the house.


this draped jacket was given by the lovely people at Velvet. do check out more of their collection at www.shopatvelvet.com ! they've really nice effortless-chic pieces that won't break your bank account.


infused some color into my look with this blue cropped top (I'm finally making friends with the colored pieces in my wardrobe now!)


jacket c/o velvet, forever21 blue crop top, topshop high waisted satin shorts, diy-ed flower hat, hermes jige clutch, zara boots.

don't worry about how other people think about your style. if you always care about their opinion, you will forever be their prisoner. :)
that hat is gorgeous and yes, your look was less feminine without it. you DO have the perfect clutch and boots, though :)

that clutch is serious awesomness. and a hat fits you really well:) I always feel 'stuck' when I try on hats.. though I'm thinking of seriously wanting to buy a floppy hat for the spring:)

Michelle, you are a beautiful young lady in just about all of your pictures and photo shoots. You have such a cute hat in these pictures to compliment your lovely outfit. I especially love the top since it's in my favorite color- blue. You are absolutely lovely yet again!

I miss you loads mich! I'll try to get back my bb service ASAP :D

p.s.: awesome blazer! and of course, once you wear the hat out, everyone gonna stare at you ridiculousy! haha.

Tamara S. Putri February 16, 2011 9:08 AM  

Yes, it's a shame about the way people don't experiment enough with fashion in Jakarta. It's true, now that I think about it no one really wear hats :/ But I think this is also because there are no where to really walk around in Jakarta? Shame :(

Love this look so much though! Your style is always so inspiring :)
Thanks for the comment in my blog too! I really appreciate it!

Michelle doll,
I hope your Love Day was wonderful.
Love this jacket. And the pop of blue! :) As you know, I've really been feeling the color blue lately. Is Velvet a brand in Indonesia?

I love the shade of blue and the hat. I would like to have way more opportunities to wear hats.

Love the hat and it looks fabulous on you with the pop of blue!

HiFashion February 16, 2011 4:47 PM  

The hat looks great! You should definitely wear it more, even if it's just for pictures. Love the blue you added to the outfit. It really stands out.

cherie February 16, 2011 6:35 PM  

i also wonder why tropical countries don't wear hats as much.. but you look totally chi in the outfit, that blazer is amazing!

Chloe February 16, 2011 7:24 PM  

Oh I love this outfit! I adore bright blues with neutrals and that hat is truly fabulous. It deserves to be worn.

love the looseness and flowiness of the jacket. it's really casual where i live, too...so it's hard to be "fashionable" without getting all the who-does-she-think-she-is and where-does-she-think-she's-going looks! really love the hat. i just bought several floppys even though i won't get to wear them much!

Sweet February 19, 2011 9:18 PM  

I always thought that people in Jakarta are fashion forward because you have a great community that supports a lot of bloggers unlike in the Philippines, in Cebu where some of us are not yet recognize and we usually get bad stares if we dress up on a normal day hahahaha!!!

I feel for you love...and yes the colorful get up is perfect...I love the purse and the hat...
