Early evening in Hong Kong

Look to the west

At the beginning of the season I read an article about what to buy for Spring 2017. The editor declared that decorative sleeves were over, and we should all be treading carefully around this trend. Oh if only I had not stubbornly dismissed her sage advice. I find myself with way too many big sleeves, and unless I start changing three times a day, these clothes aren't going to achieve their intended price-per-wear.

I wear these only with straight cut or slim jeans. An irrational fear of looking like a fashion victim in photo albums twenty years from now makes me always want to play down trendy clothes. So no culottes or full skirts with these tops, I'm just keeping everything very classic.

P.S. I'd like to issue my own style edict here: no rope wedges with your white jeans, please.
