Here’s what I wore Tuesday May 14. This dress might not have a lot of shape to it, but it’s just such a comfortable and easy piece to throw on.

Second hand haul (April 2024)
I’d not been second hand shopping for a really long time (I’m not quite sure why), but earlier this year I started to get back into it, and it’s been a lot of fun. The first two pieces are from an indoors flea market, where the clothes are sold by private sellers, and the rest is from charity shops.
I’d been wanting a thermal one piece for a while to wear outdoors in the winter, and when I saw this colourful, floral one from one of my favourite brands Crás, I just had to have it. It looked like it had never been used.
I also found these acid lime green slacks from Crás with the tags still on, and I have the matching blazer in my closet already.
And now on to the stuff I purchased from charity shops. I’ve been looking for more trousers that fit after I lost the “baby weight”, and I picked up these brown jeans, but they’re actually a little too big on me.
I don’t remember if I’ve ever had a denim vest before, but this oversized one is a fun layering piece.
I want to add more fun blouses to my wardrobe, and I thought this floral one was very pretty.
This is one of my favourite pieces I picked up. It’s such a fun vintage find; it even has a bow on the back.
Leopard print is everywhere, so I loved finding this sheer leopard print shirt second hand.
I’ve already worn this white short sleeve shirt several times. It’s just such a versatile piece.
I don’t wear a lot of cropped tops, but I just loved this pink blouse/shirt.
I also picked up a couple of hats; a soft black-ish baker boy hat and a fun, furry leopard print one.
Lastly, I got this purple, green, and blue patterned tie. I love finding fun, printed second hand ties.
Harvest moon
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The Ensley Reign Cosmetics Harvest Moon palette is a very dark, autumnal looking palette, but I thought the colour story matched this outfit so well.

In-between weather
Here’s what I wore Monday May 13. This dress is perfect for those in-between weather days, where it’s not super warm, but not super cold either.

First wedding of the year
Here’s what I wore Saturday May 11. This was my first wedding guest look of the year. Sorry about the quality of the pictures. I wasn’t able to bring my camera; it was a long trip with public transportation and I had to travel light. Anyways, I got a lot of compliments on my look, and I really did like this look myself as well.

MAC sale haul (April 2024)
I have a small MAC haul to share with you today. I purchased these products in the spring sale.
I picked up three face products; the Studio Finish SPF 35 concealer in NC15, the Extra Dimension blush in Fairly Precious, and the Glow Play blush in That’s Peachy. So far, I’m not sure about the concealer. I don’t think the coverage is that good, but I need to try it out some more. I love both the Extra Dimension blush formula and the Glow Play blush formula, and these colours are beautiful.
Besides the three face products I also got four lipsticks. I purchased three of them and got the last one as a free gift with purchase. The shades are (from left to right) Spirit (satin), Brick-O-La (amplified), Sweet Sakura (cremesheen), and You’re Buggin’ Lady (Powder Kiss). The Powder Kiss lipstick was the free gift.
Performed well
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m wearing a bunch of products from the Colourpop Beauty and The Beast collection (which I haven’t hauled yet), and I think all the products I tried performed very well.
