How classic are you?

I find it quite funny (well, more perplexed really) that some people choose to think that they are quite classic and timeless in terms of their dressing. You know - the taitai look? When really it's just bling-classic bordering slightly vulgar. (think: J Lo)

I go for understated classic - comfortable, timeless and sexy (not overtly but confidently). Afterall, you should always look up to how CEOs wives dress right? And if you mum's a CEO wife, even better. Just how your mum would dress. That's a yummy mummy for you.

Let me give you an example (starting from head to toe):

• Chanel diamante sunglasses vs Oliviers People/Celine sunglasses
• Dior T-shirt vs Asprey cashmere tank
• Dolce & Gabbana jacket vs Asprey cashmere cardigan (twinset)
• Chloe Paddington vs Celine boogie/Hermes Birkin/Tods tote/any Loewe bag
• Mixture of fake and real jewellery (the more the merrier) vs the real stuff (preferably diamonds and pearls only)
• Jimmy Choos vs Sergio Rossis

Enough said. Wished I had a picture.

Words that mean something to me
taitai - lady of leisure in Cantonese. But conjures an image of ornate looking, too posh for hands-on raising of their OWN children, does not do ANY cooking and often has a cheating husband.
yummy mummy - lady of leisure too! But is a modern hands-on mummy, stylish and quirky. Often runs her own business, actively involved in the community and cares about the food she feeds her family. Is always sexy and confident too...haha
