This look is inspired by the colors and festivity of Chinese New Year. The stereotypical red and gold combination wasn't easy to pull off, and personally I think you have to think about your pieces wisely when going for both these colors. Not only did I wear CNY colors, I also wanted to show how fun yet traditional this event is celebrated, so I went for a lace red peplum top paired with a shining-shimmering-splendid skirt (Aladdin anyone?)
I also knew that each animal in the Chinese calendar has their own lucky color and since it's the year of the monkey, I added a little hint of blue for luck!
If you're like me, born in a different country from your nationality, it's better to embrace both cultures and traditions. I'm not used to Philippine culture as much as Macau Chinese culture, but I try to know more about both.
