Keepin' it Real

Sumati: Donning the "dude, where's my pants" look with a T-shirt from Threadless (stolen from my boyfriend) and vintage cowboy boots from (un)FASHION Vintage.

Tara: Head to toe Pomelo in a matching pencil skirt and crop top. Ice cream sold separately. #YesIDidEatThat

Diane: Keeping it real in my fave pair of Uniqlo Pants, Thai Silk top from a local Market in the provinces of Northern Thailand, Shoes from NuBangkok, Necklace from Etsy 

Mashing About

This week Scotland almost became its own republic, #NYFW came to a close, and three more songs about big butts hit the radio. Meanwhile, in the universe of the Fash Mashers, we've been busy navigating Bangkok's sois in search of that wall, parking lot or tree that would really make our outfit pop. Here's what we found this week! Enjoy!

Xoxo,

Tara: I wore this outfit to work then out for drinks at Mikkeller Bangkok. I'm really into high neck styles these days. After some initial upper arm concerns I realized showing some shoulder and arm is actually pretty flattering. (Michelle Obama knows what I'm sayin!) So I wore this Pomelo top with my go-to comfy pants that can still look dressy (also bought online from the now defunct Symbols of Style). This bag is one of a kind, hand embroidered by the talented Chanida of Cuscus Embroider Art. I got tons of comments on it! There's nothing better than owning something totally unique.

Sumati: I've been trying my hand at cooking lately, learning all sorts of fun stuff like making the perfect vegetarian lasagna and even attempting home-made gyoza! I wore this outfit to go grocery shopping to get ingredients to make chicken marsala and Szechuan tofu - sure, it may sound like conflicting cuisines, but it was delicious nonetheless! Next time I must remember to purchase an apron for fear of ruining this awesome vintage top!

Diane: I had an amazing and rejuvenating weekend getaway to the Bangkok Tree House. There's nothing like leaving the city behind for the peaceful embrace of nature and enjoying simple things like riding bikes and watching the fireflies at night. I wore this light and cute dress to enjoy the serenity (while walking around barefoot, naturally). I highly recommend everyone visit at some point to experience the zen swag it offers!

It's time for another good ol' fashioned mash-up! We Fash Mashers really believe you should look (and therefore feel) your best, no matter what the occasion. Of course, that doesn't mean wearing red lipstick to sleep, but perhaps adding some unique touches to your everyday. 

While we're fairly new to the blogging game, we are grateful that we have learned a lot about ourselves and our personal styles by documenting it for the world to see... or at least for our few readers to see... hi Mom(s)! This blog has challenged us to consistently create new outfits, make the most of the clothes we already have, and try to not to appear sloppy (unless we're going for the "intentionally sloppy" look). 

In that spirit, here's how we used what we learned to dress up for different occasions.

Diane: Hello from Saraburi! I wore this comfy lil outfit during a road trip with my friends. The denim shorts are from Wrangler, shirt from Chatuchak Market, and Melissa Shoes. I wandered
around and saw this awesome bridge aka Thee Best OOTD spot in Saraburi! Don't discount the numerous clothes in your already overflowing wardrobe. If your older pieces are in good condition (and still fit you), pair it with a current item to give it an updated look!

Tara: I snapped these photos before dashing out the door to work the other day. Which is amazing because I'm usually 10 min behind schedule at all times! This dress by Nithina is my go-to for looking put together in a hurry. I love how it looks like a big mens shirt, but the ruffle and belt keep it feminine. So my advice is, dress up for work one day a week. Don't get trapped in the same office attire every day. You'll be surprised how much better you'll feel when you're confident in what you're wearing!

Tara: Head to toe white in this crisp dress by Nithina with Kloset bag.

Sumati: I wore this Theer top, Zara skirt, and Jean-Michel Cazabat open-toe booties on a recent date night. Even if you've been with the same person for a while, it's important to still try to look good, wouldn't ya say? From what I've learned, the concept of "sexiness" changes greatly as you get older. However, you should flaunt your best assets while being subtly sexy. We love off-the-shoulder tops for that little peek of skin and a healthy dose of leg. Having Bangkok city as your background completes the look!

We're So Fancy

In our hectic lives, there's always one event or another going on whether it be weddings, birthdays, or anniversary parties. But who doesn't love an excuse to dress up?

On the bright side, trying to get pictures of our night-time outfits while it's still light out means we get ready much, much faster than we normally do. Have you tried putting on your liquid eyeliner in 30 seconds so you can run outside in time to snap a picture before the sun goes down?

We love celebrating special occasions with our friends and family, and now we want to share what we wore with you guys! Enjoy!

These pics were taken in front of my driveway (so please excuse the background). I wore this ensemble to one of my best friends' wedding. This is the comfiest dress I must say!

Diane: My dress & belt are both from Dress Bistro, Shoes from H&M, Earrings from the local market, Bangles from India.

I wore this outfit to a five-year anniversary celebration of some friends. I just love how the skirt flows when I move; it was fun to spin around in it on the dance floor later that night!

Sumati: I'm wearing a crop top I picked up at a local market, skirt by Kemissara, Schutz shoes, and rose gold and white diamond hoops by TASH (designed and gifted to me by my talented sister-in-law!).

Tara: Sometimes you have to dress down an evening outfit to take it from Saturday afternoon to Saturday night. So I paired this vintage inspired Livia Dress by Virgos Lounge with pin-up style red Zara heels and gold ankle bracelets from Mumbai, and topped it off with my beloved GAP jean jacket. I ordered this dress after seeing it on one of my favorite fashion bloggers, Karla Deras of Karla's Closet. (And it was on sale!) My faith in online shopping paid off and it fit! I love the Indian inspired embellishments and the vintage look of this dress.
