BLACKJACK

It's been a week since I saw 2NE1 live and I'm still suffering from post concert depression T^T. In fact, I think I've gotten more obsessed with them. The past few days have been spent watching their variety tv episodes and 2NE1tv, with CRUSH on repeat. Seriously man, their concert was UNREAL. Julian and I were 4 rows from the front stage and had a clear view (thanks platforms, sorry guys behind us) of our eunnies. The production of the show was really top-notch and 2NE1 was so charismatic! Ugh, so goood. I didn't have any expectations when I went in, but I walked out a fully converted Blackjack man.

ALL OR NOTHING #OOTD


What's up guys. It's been awhile, how have you been? 

Recently, Nicole and I decided to revive Stray Katz but we've tweaked it a little bit so that we can get you readers more involved. I'll be talking more about it later.

This will be my first outfit post. I do have my own personal blog but I'll be posting more fashion related stuff here. So this is the outfit that I wore to attend my favourite kpop band, 2NE1's concert. YAY! I missed them the last time they performed here so you guys have no idea how psyched I was to be able to go this time.  I didn't even care I was gonna be queueing for 3 hours and standing for 2 hours + because I FREAKING LOVE 2NE1. Other than loving their amazing voices and talent, I admire their quirky, cool, sexy & versatile fashion sense. That's what made them stand out of from the rest of the other groups and that's what made them so special. I can vividly remember that Bom once said that she wanted 2NE1 to be thought of as weird - in a good way of course. 


Back to my ootd, to catch my unnie's - did you know that Minzy is only 20 - attention obviously I'm not gonna tone down or dress casually, I'm going all out! I figured that stripes make a pretty striking statement so I went for a hooded stripe coat for my outerwear. In Harajuku, wearing a bralette over a top is the currently in trend, so I wore a pink tropical printed bralette over a lace crop top. To give my look a little more balance, I chose a softer colour for my top & bottom. I also wore baby pink socks over my Chocomoo x Disney x Avantgarde tattoo stockings that Nicole brought for me from Japan. Here's a piece of advice, wear comfortable shoes. If you're gonna be standing and jumping throughout the night, choose a pair of shoes that has a slight platform or a soft sole because flat shoes will cause a lot of friction with your feet, making it uncomfortable. And if you have big feet like me, open toe shoes or sandals are ideal for concerts. 


For accessories, I picked very cutesy candy coloured clips and bracelets to give my look a pop of colour. A friend of mine actually handmade those candy bracelets and she had some extra which she gave to me. I didn't want it to overpower my outfit so I didn't wear any chunky accessories. As usual, together with my tattoo chokers I added a pink necklace with woven chains and evil eye charms. I didn't wear any earrings as my twin tails already did the job.

A (re)introduction

Hello and welcome to Stray-Katz, a space dedicated to fashion with a decidedly more.. alternative edge. Run by Nicole and Julian, look forward to posts about shopping, clothes, hair, ourselves (ha), more clothes, more shopping. Jk, we aren't THAT shallow. We're also gonna talk about art, music, travel and whatever the hell else we please. (Did I mention the clothes?)

We want this to be a collective project and will be gathering various cool people, dubbed the "Stray Katz", for guest posts to keep things interesting. Yes. We are the fashion SPCA. If you think you'll be an awesome contributor, please email us at stray-katz@hotmail.com!

Oh right, you may remember the "Snap Klub" part of our name. Basically, we got bored of doing solely street snaps because let's face it... Singapore is a pretty boring place street fashion-wise. We will still be taking street snaps, just less often. They'll be posted at our gallery: www.straykatsnapklub.com

I think that's all. See you soon! o (^‿^✿)
