Oriental beauty

Perfect season to go oriental since chinese new year is just around the corner :) 

Rummage your mum or grandma's wardrobe and see how you could put their traditional pieces into style! 

Here are few interesting ways where you can dress up in a true oriental style and still look gorgeous :)

1.  Red is the new black   

The color red symbolizes good fortune and joy in Chinese culture. 

"Redifying" yourself during CNY is a must!

 2. Going peacocky 

It is said that peacock is a phoenix that symbolizes authority, dignity and beauty.  

It has its own pride and doesn't display its feathers all the time, putting us in a perfect mood to embrace our own nobility.

If you're feeling blue, imagine yourself as the glorious peacock and in no time, you will be walking tall in full vitality.

3. Tranquility of a lotus flower

Blooming above the muddy water, the lotus flower symbolizes purification in Buddhism. 

Wearing an outfit inspired by the tranquility of a lotus flower can be a good way to achieve the purity of mind and spirit.

4. Earthy chic 

For an earthy yet unique look, opt for a blend of grey and pink.  

Don't forget to jazz up your outfit with some shining sequins or complementary accessories, otherwise you will look dull in it! :)

6. Traditional is the way to go

Modern western dressing can sometimes be tad monotonous and tiresome to the eyes.

It is therefore good to break free and go for something traditional for a change.

7. Butterfly hue

Butterfly is a symbol of longevity and love in Chinese culture. 

To spark butterflies in your admirer's stomach, try to deck up in a butterfly-inspired outfit. 

Don't be afraid to flap your wings and make the first move.

8. Pure, light and neutral 

You don't necessarily have to go heavy for your CNY outfit. 

Instead of the typical red outfit, consider ivory as your primary choice of color. 

It is a soft neutral color that exemplifies the purity and pleasant side of a girl.
