Spring and flowers

It's Chinese New Year next week! Chinese New Year or also known as the Spring Festival is the most important holiday in the Chinese calendar. My plan was to wear this dress during the celebrations. The bright colours and flower prints are so apt for this festival. hehe but baby is growing so quickly these two weeks that this dress is a snug fit for me now and I'm not sure if I can still fit into it in a week's time.


It's a Chinese tradition to wear new clothes from head to toe to symbolise the beginning of a new year. I can still remember how excited I would be about the shopping dates with my mother for new sets of clothes and shoes before the festival. Now that I'm much older, I'll go get my own new sets of clothes and it's still a fun affair. It's the few occasions in the year where it's fully justified to go shopping. haha.

Dress from Fancytreehouse
Flats from Topshop
Bag from Topshop
Necklace gift from sister-in-law

Love,
Ft
