And to you, ladies and gentlemen, I present the 2nd installation to my collaboration with 7 For All Mankind. This ensemble was inspired by the kaleidoscope shots and the surreal cutting of the 'A Beautiful Odyssey' short film, part of 7 For All Mankind's spring/summer campaign. I guess it may have influenced me to pick these out-of-this-world mickey mouse sunglasses for this outfit. Very Lady Gaga-esque - indeed, I think Mama Monster even donned these sunnies for her Paparazzi music video. I was wholly embracing the fact that there was enough sunlight that day to even CONSIDER wearing sunglasses - a rare occurence in polluted Hong Kong. The 7 For All Mankind piece featured in this outfit is the buttery-soft black tee. I chose it on the basis that I really do have a thing for leather, and I admired the way it looked even when creased. The shapes created by the leather mirror the geometrical patterns of the skirt and the necklace. Overall, I think this whimsical look transforms me from an budding blogger to a surreal desert space creature. And let's face it, who wouldn't want to be an alien?
