One shoe, two ways: Mary me

Since Ate Bullet is always on the look out for cool Mary Janes, this pair caught my eye.

Spotted it during my weekend mall run. This pretty patent Mary Janes in a rich, oxblood hue is such a stunner. From the material to the style to the straps, it's definitely a statement shoe.

Styling a pair like this is easy. So easy, here are 2 examples of how to rock it.

WAY # 1: Short order

To highlight the shoe, you can wear shorts to maximise its exposure. But not just any pair of shorts, but these shorts with an interesting pleated overlay from Incerun. Then, a knit top from Plains & Prints that echoes the colour of the shoe.

WAY # 2: Khaki classics

The colour khaki is also a good way to make the shoe stand out. So, got this khaki pair of trousers from Incerun, and the front pleats give it an oomph. The top is from a collab at Robinsons Department Store (more on that later) which has a touch of red that matches the shoe.

This shoe is truly a shoo-in for best sheo.

Black buster week: Samurai style

Apart from the fact that Incerun has nice pants and skirts, there's also something good to be said about their selection of shirts and vests. 

There's a vest that caught my eye. A wrap around vest that's loose like a kimono, but sans the sleeves. The fact that it's black makes it a perfect addition to this week's black outfits feature.

Even the black pants from Incerun also has that Japanese vibe. It reminds me of Samurais, thanks to the pleats and the loose-ness of the design.

Since they're both from Incerun, this brand is 2 for 2 today!

Black buster week: See you layer!

One of the great finds from the GU x Rohk collab was the layered plaid pants and skirt ensemble. It's one of Ate's favourite pieces and it enjoys a lot of wear.

Was browsing through the Incerun page and saw a pair of pants similar to it, and it was an immediate "buy" for me.

The black pair of pants has a pleated overskirt. Unlike the GU one, this is attached and you have to wear them together. Still, it's a nice statement piece. 

The top is simpler because of the fashionable quality of the bottom. It's a body hugging, turtle neck body suit from Kashieca. It's a seemingly simple piece, but with details that elevate it.

This pair brings black to an edgier level.

Black buster week: Halter ego

Kashieca has been on sale for the past week, and their tops are a must-buy.

They have a wide selection of knits that would easily qualify as staples.

Just like this black, ribbed halter tank. Which is part of today's black outfit.

Ate has been gravitating towards halter tops of late, which made this an easy decision to buy. This is paired with Japanese, Hakama-style pants from Incerun.

This pair just elevated the halter to show stopper.

Black-buster week: Neck deep

Recently, Ate Bullet has been into black outfits. This is mainly because of her 2 current favourite shoes - the black Tabi Japanese shoes, and her Zara ballet flats.

So, this week is going to be about the outfits that we've put together for those shoes.

The first one is inspired by a black, ribbed mock turtle neck top from The Landmark.

This blouse is super nice because of the fabric. It's so soft that it sculpts itself on the wearer's body. The texture makes it go beyond basic black, which is always a plus. Whether it's tucked-in or untucked, this blouse elevates the look. 

And we're tpairing it in a mixed-fabric skirt from Incerun. Again, this brand has been delivering consistently, and this black skirt is a winner.

This is going to look great with the black, ballerina flats.
