I do like Mondays

Yes, I'm referencing Biboy's favourite song from The Boomtown Rats entitled "I don't like Mondays."

But this is the flip side, with me saying that I do like Mondays.

Especially if it's Cheap Monday.

This is one of the earlier "indie" denim brands and they're known for their very young, carefree and nonchalant approach to fashion.

Which is exactly what this dress from Cheap Monday is about.

The sweater dress is young, carefree and nonchalant. From the fabric - a cotton, sweater-y fabric without the heft, to the ultra-loose and boxy silhouette, to a nice touch of string to cinch in the waist.

It's definitely something nice and cool to wear on a Monday.

Maid for the music

It's play on music and musical score is one of the reasons why I'm into "The Handmaid's Tale" a lot. They have this way of weaving in modern, pop music with the dark and dystopian feel of the series.

One of my favourite scenes is a study on how beautifully interwoven these 2 things are. It's the scene from Season 3 when Serena Waterford burns her house in a suicide attempt. June saves her from the fire, and the song that punctuates the blaze is just sheer genius.



It helps that this Boomtown Rats ditty is a such an iconic song, and also, one of Biboy's faves! I thought that song couldn't get any better, but when they placed it in front of those disturbing visuals - plus June's last line to camera - it was genius!

Yup, that scene was definitely made!
