Mind U. It's New.

2009 do wear and don'ts.

it's still not too late to be it.
mayb it's time to pull out those clothings sitting in yer closet for ages.
cos this might be the year to wear it again!

Asymmetrical edges
especially one-shoulder top or dress is back in.
Fits and flatters all body types in a sexy way
yet sophisticated looking.
Wear it long and flowy or get a perfect fit to body shape.

now the return of micro-mini dresses/skirts
But with soft, flowy and frilly material way above the knee level.

Fold in out
apparently influenced by Japanese origami techniques.
focus on detailed folds as main pattern of dresses .
although these folds are big but it still looks stylishly classy.
if you used to own dresses with folds, now it's the time to wear!

Crumpled fabric

make your life easier and in trend by wearing it crumpled.
non-ironed shirts and any sorts of fabric is Not awful anymore!

Mysterious Blue

Weigh it down chunkily
No more wearing tonnes of earring, necklaces, bangles, rings altogether!
Why wear so many when just a chunky heavy accessory completes the look?
Do not over-accessorize yourself. Keep it minimal, wear it big and outstanding.

Dangling Strings.
Stringy dress and tops from the 70s are today's 2009 look.
Eye-catching strands swinging stylishly.
Great for parties or any other outings


Shine shine shine
Smooth looking in year 2009.
Sheer/shinny fabrics with vibrant colours makes you the main attraction.
