Why do so many people get married in May?

Too many wedding invitations and not even one kebaya (traditional Indonesian clothing which women usually wear to a wedding) results in outfits with a twist (what ms. match means by a twist is the corsage and the color play, but if you don't think it's a twist, well in her book it is :p )




--2 tone silk all saints dress found at petticoat lane market for about 5 quid, corsage at Inacraft for Rp10.000, Ted baker shoes--




--(X)SML top, TopShop skirt pulled up to the high waist so it would look like a dress when paired with a wide bottomed top such as this, corsage brooch worn as head piece bought at INACRAFT, Office Shoes--
PS: hair is twisted by Ms. Match herself and loads of people thought Ms. Match went to a salon to have it done--
Hair tips: For those of you with short hair (not too short though), create this look easily by sectioning off hair and then taking them up and just twisting them in place. When you have got the perfect coil (not too tight at the top so it creates volume, and a bit loose in the front), take 2 black small hair pains dan pin the sucker in place. Use 2 criss-crossing pins to lock the hair do. After that stick a gigantic pink corsage in your hair!
Too bad you can't see it, because thanks of my recent color job (red highlights), ms. match's simple twist looked more modern with streaks of red running through the do.

60's Shift Dress



Ms. Match found another bargain! A 60's style shift dress at FCUK's sale at SOGO for a real steal: IDR 99.000!!! what a shocker. That comes up to only about 5 quid! Don't you just luurrrvveee a great bargain! Ms. Match is definitely more proud of a great dress she finds with a very low price tag than a dress that would cost her a month's salary. She thinks that there is not challenge in finding a great looking expensive clothes. About the dress, the blue is like one of those jewel tone colors that has been really hot these last two fall/winters. Ms. Match absolutely loves it! The cut is old fashioned 60s shift dress, with a hint of 80s shown by the exposed huge zipper. The bubble arm is nice too! Ms. Match then wonders if the dress would look good paired with a lacey on top.
Dress; FCUK, Bag: vintage bag found at the big Sunday market in Rome (forgot the name) for 1 Euro, Shoes: Marie Claire
