One of my new year resolutions is to wear more Indonesian traditional clothes. I just realized that, as Indonesians, we have been given the privilege to easily access the beautiful and colorful Indonesian fabrics. It would be a shame not to explore more about them and wear them proudly. That’s why when I had two wedding invitations on the first weekend of 2010, I didn’t waste any chance to invade my mom’s closet and grab her kain collections 😀
If I were to go out and about, I would’ve worn the jacket with jeans. This time, I paired it with my mom’s long skirt that I folded at the waist to make it shorter. I think they go well together, don’t they? Well at least according to me they do :D. This was for the akad nikah ceremony.
- Rebecca Taylor Jacket
- Mom’s skirt
- House of Leather bag
- Kenzie wedges
This was for the evening wedding reception. I just wrapped the fabric around and tie it on the side. For a second, I felt like someone who was going to wash her clothes at the nearby river.
- Victoria Secret lace top. I got it for my wedding seserahan seven years ago 😀
- Kain batik. Ada “prodo” nya (the glittery gold)
- Mango pumps
- Snake skin clutch from Belles Du Jour
This was the next day for another wedding. The reception was held right after the akad nikah so I didn’t have to change clothes.
- Batik dress from some random store in Pejaten Village
- Faux snake skin peep toe from Toko Dua Amoi
- Unbranded clutch
- Necklace from Closet Quickies
Behind the scene pictures..hihi. It was hard to take one good picture with my kids around.

For me, blogging is my attempt to sit down, to put things into perspective and to maintain my sense of self apart of what I do at work. Life as a mother of two and a company to run can be quite challenging at times that I wish time would just slow down for a little bit.
