Penchant for the Oriental: Your CNY Outfits Series (I)
Here comes another Chinese New Year where feelings of festivity arrives! It is indeed a joyous occasion where families, friends, and relatives gather, exchange CNY greetings, feast on delicious food and snacks alike! Let's not forget about the gorgeous clothes which we will be donning on for the 15 days of CNY :)

We can't imagine a wardrobe without lace, and more so during Chinese New Year! Lace evokes feelings of femininity easily, and makes for an impeccable choice for formal events. Even though CNY is an occasion where family members and friends gather, we do wish to look as good as we can too! So for this special occasion, we have added the dainty lace into our wardrobes! A slim-fit lace dress like Shayla Sleeved Mermaid Hem Lace Dress comes with modest sleeves and an interesting high-low mermaid hem detail which we adore! This is ideal for formal dinners, think company CNY celebrations and dinners! For a more proper touch, Maribel Sleeved Lace Jumpsuit certainly makes the perfect outfit. The contrasting black flare pants provides the illusion of a two-piece wear, and is most apt for office-wear ;)
Maxis and midis actually do make exceedingly polished and formal outfits compared to their shorter counterparts. It is widely known that women in the past were constantly dressed in modest gowns and longer dresses in general, and how demure they behave. Passing on the sense of decorum, maxi and midi dresses now portray the similar virtuous vibes. Hence, it is a common sight to see women donned in longer dresses at formal events and such. For CNY, Elsa Runche Neck Maxi Dress has been selected as one of our maxi options! We adore the vibrant floral prints and the lightweight material used to achieve that perfect swirl. For a more toned-down look, you may also decide on a solid-coloured number with a genteel crochet bodice for a sweet, feminine look!
Oriental prints: an integral part of our Lunar New Year celebration, we believe. Since ancient times, oriental prints can be found in most ornaments and wall-paintings in most Chinese families. If you are someone who follow, religiously, your Chinese Palace Dramas, you will understand that oriental prints are everywhere - in their outfits, decoration, households! ^^
This CNY, we have introduced oriental floral prints into our dresses! Our favourite is no doubt Zhen Huan Floral Porcelain Beads Dress that comes with a fit-n-flare silhouette and porcelain beads detail. This is ideal for Lunar visitations and even wearing it after CNY! For another dual-wearing dress, we have an upcoming number featuring an A-line silhouette in a soft lace material. An oriental floral print panelled hem has also been inserted to add festive vibes to the dress!
