Preparing for my first Chinese New Year with Baby Luke

 
Time flies. Baby Luke is already five months plus and this little rock of mine is all cute and cuddly and oh-so-handsome!
 
The Year of the Horse is coming in one-and-a-half weeks' time and it'll be Luke's very first Chinese New Year. It'll also be my very first Chinese New Year as a mom. I can't wait to "parade" him around, expecting lots of ooohs-and-aaahs and of course, RED PACKETS from everybody we meet. :P
 
His little outfit is ready. It's red and shiny. He'll look super duper adorable! Gotta get ready to snap lotsa photos.
 
But finding my outfit is a problem this year. Looking back at my outfit on the first day of CNY 2011-2013:


They looked normal; expected color - red. Hmmm. Now that I've a new status as a mother, I wanna try something different. Yummy mummy wannabe!
 
Shopping for clothes at malls is a tug-of-war with time. Plus, I don't really have the mood to shop. It's tiring having to browse for outfits that I really like, trying them out one by one, and finding the right size. With a baby in tow, spending time to find THE outfit is really difficult.
 
So, shopping online is the best! Coincidentally, I've been receiving quite a number of emails/newsletters from different online boutiques. One that catches my attention is Zalora's Chinese New Year collection.
 
I'm interested in the Melinda Looi X Amber Chia's collection, especially this particular modern Qipao with Scalloped Sleeves and Jacquard Piping. There are three colors – red, dark pink, and blue.
 
Okay, excuse me as I log in and buy the blue qipao.
